Texas Parks & Wildlife Department is considering adding Sherman and Hansford counties to the northern Panhandle mule deer season, and Gaines, Martin, and the eastern portion of Andrews counties to the southwest Panhandle season.
These counties, wildlife biologists believe, have mule deer populations sufficient to allow the harvest of a few buck mule deer. Such a buck-only harvest would not have any effect on the overall population in those counties. Opening these counties will result in increased hunter opportunity.
I AM SEEING LOTS OF MULE DEER ON 137 NORTH OUT OF STANTON. I WORRY THAT I MAY RUN OVER THEM. I BELIEVE A DEER SEASON IS NEEDED.
