Deer Horns Smaller In Central Texas Hunt
Central Texas hunters report deer horns smaller than average due to drought and icy springs. A McGregor hunter, A Kindler, bagged a 17 pointer on the John Pearson ranch, while Mrs Dayton Leifeste killed a 17 1/4 inch spread at Castell. Few Llano turkeys were taken. Vernon Evans of Butless killed a 16 pounder. Cooler weather last week improved hunting, but a hard freeze and better food are needed to curb daytime visibility and aid success.
