Deer season opens strong in South Texas despite clouds
South Texas deer hunters enjoyed a favorable opening weekend with sunshine breaking through total cloud cover. Deer intake at local storage facilities rose versus last year as biologist W. J. Williams notes a higher population than 1971 due to winter carry-over and a good fawn crop. He cites ample fall forage from spring and summer rains, with hunting conditions easing in vegetation but visibility varying in dense areas. December freezes may sharpen conditions as the season continues.
