COLEMAN DEMOCRAT-VOICE
Coleman, fexas, November 20, 1979
Jerry Lackey s
Country folk
Deer hunting time is here
again! From now until « new
decade is ra.ng in, it will sound
like unto the recall, of the Texas
revolution as we drive the back
roads of the normally quiet
Texas Hill Country.
Campfires at hunting camps
will be lit up before daybreak
and the aroma of fried bacon,
eggs and coffee will fill the
early morning air.
It takes an enthusiastic
hunter to brave the freezing
moisture-filled temperatures
before daylight. It takes even
more desire for the taste of
venison or the pride of a trophy-
antler to sit quietly for hours
and wait for the special
moment.
There's a promise the re
wards are.there again this year,
though. Acorns and pecans are
plentiful and so is plenty of
maize and corn in feeding
areas The deer and turkey are
fat. I have seen many such kind
at my ranch In Kimble County.
No. I have not seen big horns or
racks but at least the animals
are fat.
Deer hunting is not only a
good business for stockmen, it
just might be the lifesaver this
season. Dry weather continues
to plague a big area in
the Southwest. The feed houses
are doing a booming business as
winter comes on.
Max Horne told me the other
day that Coleman is becoming
increasingly dry. "Our reserve
dirt tank water is about gone in
some places around Novice", he
stated.
Kennv McMuilan says it is
"drier than he can remember it
being since the 1950s from
Ozona to Sheffield clear across
Pecos County."
And Chili Cole, eating lunch
at the San Angelo Country-
Club, commented: "It is just
plain dry everywhere I have
been or plan to go these days. It
don't look good.”
But as the old saying goes,
there is always some good in all
that's bad. The cotton farmers
are harvesting some bumper
crops this year.
Steve Hoelscher of Wall says
the cotton production in the
Concho Valley is much higher
than expected. "The gins at
Wall, Veribest and Rowena
have been running full speed
ahead and could do so until
Christmas." •
Hoelscher said his brother.
Clifford Hoelscher. who farms
in the St. Lawrence area,
expresses a bumper crop in
that area. There is cotton
every which way and pickers
running every directum."
Cotton harvest almost over'
halfway done, some farmers are
already planning* for a new
year. With the planning for
1980 comes discard of old
equipment and around Lawn
last week the West Texas
Rehabilitation Center benefi-
ted. A farm equipment sale
netted about $6,(XX) for WTRC.
The equipment was donated
from all over the Lawn Abilene
area, “One of the items people
seemed to have the most fun
with were twopound bags of
peanuts", according to Danny
Isbell. field representative for
WTRC. Forty of the bags sold
for $10 each.
Well, they will go well with
Thanksgiving turkey!
