TEXAS GAME AND FISH

This beautiful buck is wisely wary in
pre-season setting. But it won't be
long until even such a peek from the
brush would present too much danger
to a buck interested in keeping his
rack. This year, again, in counties
where surpluses exist, hunters can
add to their buck bags antlerless
deer, for meat and good management.
See deer management story this issue.
