Deer Trapping Plan Aims to Redistribute 1000 Texas Wildlife
Texas Game Department plans to traps deer in populated ranges and move them to depleted areas, targeting 1000 redistributions this year with new single deer traps. Last year 609 deer were trapped and released mainly from Aransas Refuge, plus hundreds on Carl Smith Ranch in Blanco County and a few in the Panhandle. Thirty-seven new traps are being built, with operations likely starting in October after velvet shedding. Turkey trapping, raccoon and beaver releases also occur with owner consent. no quail releases this year due to Mexican export restrictions. Deer births noted include a doe with five litter sets and a total of 23 offspring, mostly bucks.
