DEER ARE PLENTIFUL IN THE
BANDERA HILL COUNTRY
Though the hunting season
started off slow in the Bandera
area many fine deer and turkey
gobblers are on storage at the
locker plants in Bandera and
Medina.
In Medina B. H .Stokes reported
his Locker plant, as of Wednes-
day, had 154 deer on storage and
29 nice fat gobblers. The first
deer was brought in by Dr. Thomas
M. Jarmon, local doctor. The first
turkey was brought in by Allen
King of Houston.
Mr. Stokes reported he had
over twice as many on storage
this year as last year, which cer
tainly exceeded his expectations,
and that he was very pleased with
the kill in his community. He
did say however that the deer
brought in were smaller in size
this year, which he credited to
the early spring and summer
drought.
Pat Boyle of the Bandera Ice
Company reported he had on
storage six turkeys and seventy-
three deer. This number fell far
short of last year’s storage record.
The first turkey gobbler was
brought in by K. E. Lee of Hous-
ton and the first deer by Earl A.
Gourde of Corpus Christi. Boyle
reported that so far this has been
his slowest year, but as the
season is young, he looks forward
to better storage of game as the
season progresses.
The Bandera Lockers, Inc.,
reported Wednesday that 245 deer
and turkey and two javalinas were
on storage there. The Bandera
Locker processes the first deer
brought in free. Frank Pearson
Jr., of Lost Valley Ranch was the
first to bring in his deer. J. W.
Pearson of Houston brought in the
first turkey gobbler and W. F.
Mertel of Houston brought his in
first on the second day of the
season.
W. O. Hatfield Locker Plant at
Medina reports that Lee Smith
brought in the first deer to the
plant and Dickson Caine of the
Garrison Ranch brought in the
first gobbler. The heaviest deer
on storage weighed 120 pounds.
