Okay....you guys from Montana and Colorado don’t laugh at our little Texas deer. I realize they look like mice compared to the big game in the Rockies, but it gets the men, with all their expensive hunting gear, out of the house on the first weekend in November...and their wives go shopping all weekend...so it’s a boost to the TX economy. We have more deer than adequate browsing acreage, so it’s good for the deer population as well.

I went to a state park in southern Kentucky this summer and there were many dear along side the road and I was appalled at how emaciated they were. All of them. Once at the park facilities I asked a park ranger about their condition and he did not seem pleased that I was asking. With a scowl he said it was the product of overpopulation. That Texas deer looks amazing by comparison. The deer hear in Indiana are corn fed and fat fat fat.

The reason that deer is so puny is because it is a 2 1/2 year old and appears to be from the Hill Country. That crappy limy soil does not produce big antlers or bodies.
