Deer Herd Thinning Yields High Success At Crab Orchard Refuge
Biologist Jack Calhoun reports an 80 percent hunter success ratio as the Crab Orchard Refuge thinning hunt continues. By noon Saturday 280 whitetails were taken inside refuge grounds and few outside boundary deer were recorded in Williamson County. The effort targets a safe, manageable deer herd from an estimated 3,000 head prior to the special drive which could push the statewide harvest past nine thousand in the first three weeks of November.
