Bull of the Woods Contest leads by Shorty Hogan in Harper’s round
Four more entries join Harper’s Bull of the Woods contest with Shorty Hogan taking the lead with a 117 pound buck. Billy Hogan follows with a 12 point buck, though its 63 pound dressed weight hurts his total. Other entrants include Joe Esquell and Clarence McDougall with detailed buck tallies, while most hunters have pulled out as the field narrows. Construction crews complete Texas first RC&D flood prevention dam near Blanco Town Creek, with officials and contractors pictured at final inspection.
