Get Started
How does GOSH work? Check the list and choose your destination — you can attempt to complete a region or the whole state.
To enter, either email us your selfies at [email protected], or post them on Instagram (must have a public account) with the hashtag #GOSH2025 and tag our magazine account, @tpwmagazine.
Ready, Set, GOSH
Complete all activities in a region and you’ll get a shout-out in a future issue of Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine in which we’ll salute our GOSH participants.
For each individual region you complete, you can earn one entry into a drawing for one of several prizes provided by the Texas Historical Commission, Families in Nature and Texas State Parks. If you complete every activity on this year’s hunt, you’ll be entered to win a grand prize from Whole Earth Provision Co., Texas Historical Commission, and Texas State Parks. Odds of winning depend on number of entries received.
You’ll find all the GOSH challenges (along with driving directions) via the links below. GOSH 2025 ends at midnight on Labor Day, Sept. 1, 2025.
