Nutrition Management For Deer
503 Receive
Swine Hu Vaccine
In Bandera County
Mrs. Betty Ruede, Bandera
Independent School District
Nurse, reported that 503 Ban-
dera County residents took the
swine flu shots here at the
clinics held at Bandera,
Lakehills, Pipe Creek, and
Medina
Good nutrition is the key to
larger, heavier-antlered deer.
Through wise range
management and sufficient
deer harvest, deer will get this
needed nutrition. A number of
Bandera Soil and Water Con-
servation District Cooperators
attended a wildlife field day at
the Kerr Wildlife Area on
November 11 Biologists and
range specialists are con-
ducting research there on the
effects of proper range
management on deer herds.
Good range management is
essential to healthy deer
populations. Two grazing
systems are now in operation on
5500 acres of the area A four-
pasture three-herd and a three-
pasture one-herd rotational
grazing system are now being
used. A short-duration grazing
system will be started soon.
Only when a planned grazing
system is coupled with proper
stocking rates can range im-
provement be expected Deer
nutrition can then be high
enough for large body size,
large antler size, and twin
fawning even in dry years.
Area manager, Donnie
Hormel, said that in order to get
the deer in good shape across
the hill country, deer numbers
would have to be reduced
considerably. This reduction
would result in plenty of
nutritious food for the deer in
the crucial winter months. One
reason there are ho many large,
healthy deer on the Kerr
Mailing Tips
Postmaster Joe Short offers
the following tips on how to
prepare Christmas parcels for
mailing:
A single item in a package
should be cushioned with
shredded paper, excelsior,
compressed tissue paper, cloth,
or expanded plastic foam.
If two or more items are
mailed in the same carton or
box, cushioning material should
protect all items from contact
with each other, and each item
should have its own individual
inner carton.
Fiberboard containers, in-
cluding large soap, cereal
boxes, etc larger than the gift
being mailed should be cut
down to about the size of the gift
to minimize shaking and
breaking in transit. However,
breakable items should have at
least one inch clearance bet-
ween the sides of the boxes and
the item to provide adequate
room for cushioning
Fiberboard should have
“pound test” strength of at least
175. This is usually shown in the
box maker’s certificate on the
bottom of the box.
Fragile articles must be in-
dividually cushioned, and all
four sides of the container
should be padded with
cushioning material.
Tape used to close containers
should be reinforced and should
cover and firmly secure all
flaps.
When paper must be used for
the outer wrapping it should be
at least equal in quality and
strength to the kraft stock used
constitutes an adequate ship-
ping container.
All packages should Lie closed
and reinforced with tape plus
durably and clearly marked.
Proper packaging is par-
ticularly important for books
and records. Because of their

Work Progressing At Recreation Center
and the VF.W Ladies
Auxiliary to Post 9176 are
sponsoring this big event in
celebration of the “new look"
and the road paving project at
the Bandera Recreation Center
This is not a fund raising
project and you are invited to
come, bring your family,
friends, relatives and guests
The V.F.W and Auxiliary
says, “Please Come, Let Us See
You There!"
Wildlife Area is that the ratio of
does to bucks is kept as even as
possible
According to biologist, Bill
Armstrong, if deer are not
managed properly their
numbers would increase to the
point that they would literally
eat themselves out of a place to
live. A die-off would then occur,
reducing the numbers, but the
deer range would already be
severely damaged. To prevent
these die-offs and depleted
ranges, deer populations must
be kept in balance with the
amount of food available
Special research on antler
development is also being
conducted on the area. It was
found that protein content of
deer foods in addition to
adequate mineral intake was
the most important factor in
antler growth. By examination
of stomach contents, it was
found that typical south Texas
deer received twice as much
protein in their diets as hill
country deer. This is why south
Texas deer are consistently
heavier and have larger an-
tlers.
Research on several
generations of bucks show that
spikes are genetically inferior
deer and usually give birth to
inferior deer. Bucks which had
forked antlers their first year
produced young with better
antlers provided they had
adequate nutrition.
