Jimmy Rutledge, technical guidance biologist in Carrizo Springs, compiled the South Texas report. From Labor Day 2007 through April 20, 2008, he recorded only 1.04 inches of rain. That won't produce record antlers. In West Texas, Tarrant echoes that, but says there will be a number of older bucks.

In the Hill Country, Joyce Moore, technical guidance biologist in Harper, says the 2007 harvest was low due to massive amounts of food and cover, so carryover will be high. The Plateau was dry during the early part of the antler growing season, however, so antlers will probably be average. Rains since then have helped. Dale Schmidt says some areas of Llano are still slim due to low fawn crops in the past. Smaller populations led to larger antlers last season as fewer mouths to feed meant better nourishment. Ray Aguirre, in Comfort, says reducing deer and livestock during stress periods will help the deer that are left. Although spring storms have helped, Blake Hendon reports that Blanco and Hays counties are at 25-50 percent of normal rainfall and spring forb production was pitiful. Trey Carpenter, in Burnet County, says the lack of bluebonnets this year shows how low soil moisture was this winter. Mike Reagan, in Wimberley, points out, though, that good bucks carried over from last season will be visible at feeders if the drought continues. Derrick Wolter, working Lampasas, Bell and Coryell counties, says the antler restrictions will mean more 3- and 4-year-old bucks available. Rufus Stephens, in Kendall and Comal counties, says after last year's great season, hunters may be a little disappointed in antler quality. Donnie Frels and Dale Prochaska, on the Kerr WMA, say their region was extremely dry, but late spring rains may have helped antler growth.

In North Central Texas, James Edwards feels that antler restrictions in some counties plus a good carryover will mean more older bucks. Raymond Sims expects quality bucks in Shackelford and Throckmorton counties.

East Texas hunters should expect deer to have better antlers and be less concentrated, according to David Sierra. Older deer resulting from antler restrictions will probably have improved antlers, writes Gary Calkins, in Jasper. Jeff Gunnels and Jamie Killian expect above-average hunting on WMAs.

Although South Texas has been dry, some rain has been falling, hopefully easing stress. But, Rutledge reminds us that even in a drought, mesquite beans thrive and keep deer nourished. Eric Garza says NOAA is predicting several more dry months. Daniel Kunz in Alice reports declining nutritional quality and defoliation of brush species as the drought intensifies.

Ruthven reports that Panhandle whitetail populations have increased and heavier antlerless harvest is recommended. He feels antlers should be average or better, although Swepston thinks the drought might affect antler mass.






Summary: This article is about how the state determines what the seasons are for dear and what kind you can shoot. So if you want to shoot a doe with a bow you would have to go and look what the season for that is. This article also tells you why the seasons are like they are, it is all determined by, amount of food, amount of land, and amount of resources they have. So hope you enjoy this article.


Real Bionic Woman

There was a lady involved in a motorcycle accident and she lost her arm. After a couple of attempts to put her arm back on they could not do it. So after a couple of months she decided to get a prosthetic arm, but instead she got more than she could have ever wanted. She got an arm that could be used if the doctors used the nerves from her old arm. So now it is like she has her old arm again.
