Hunters Keep Within The Law In Texas Season
In Austin, the executive secretary of the Game and Fish commission says big game hunters are largely obeying the law this season. Violations are about average with no reports of flagrant cases. Most prosecutions come from shooting from a public road or on private land without permission and shooting protected game. He notes few mistakings of humans for deer and warns about penalties for illegal buck horn sizes and shooting females or fawns. The term spud for potatoes is linked to an old group calling itself the Society for the Prevention of Unwholesome Diet.
