Bode’s deer weighed 109 pounds with 289 total points. Merchants Division laurels went to Larry Crenwelge and Mrs. Sharon Tatsch for widest spread and heaviest buck respectively. The report notes a record low of five bucks and one turkey gobbler entered, with concerns over Hill Country deer declines and impacts from disease and overharvest.
