Spike Buck Made Legal Game In Hardin County This Season
Hardin county deer hunters will enjoy a more liberal deer law this fall as spike bucks are declared legal game by the State Game and Fish Commission. The change, approved in Austin, opens regulatory counties to spikes but affects Hardin and nearby areas little. Biologist Bill Wright of Silsbee notes spike bucks remain rare there and predicts good deer and squirrel seasons due to mast crops and rains. Possession limits for bass and catfish have also been liberalized, with two days’ catch allowed and higher totals in possession.
