Deer season open with slow hunting in West Texas winds
In Trans-Pecos areas of West Texas the opening deer season faced 50 mph winds and a cold front, keeping hunts slow over the first weekend. By Sunday night 25 to 30 deer were hung in Marfa, with hunting improving as winds dropped. Deer from Alpine to Presidio weighed 130 to 140 pounds, and several large bucks were reported in Hudspeth, Presidio, and Marfa areas. The season runs through December 14 with further two-day hunts on Black Gap Wildlife Management Area pending permits.
