Free Deer Hunt
Program Due
Fall Expansion
Austin. July 5.—'Free public deer
hunting, successfully held last year
on one state wildlife management
area, will probably be expanded
this fall, according to the Assistant
Director of Wildlife Restoration
for the Game and Fish Commis-
sion.
This was made possible under a
mw state law giving the Commis-
sion authority to regulate harvest
of wildlife on the management
areas Otherwise, the areas would
be subject to state-wide or local
laws affecting the regions in which
the areas are located.
Tiie Assistant Director said ten-
tative plans for a free public shoot
on the Kerr area in Kerr county
■Hill country' and the Gus Encel-
ing area in Anderson county i East
Texas'. The final decision will
hinge on a deer population cen-
sus scheduled for October. The
shoots would be within the Novem-
ber 16-December 31 dates set for
big game hunting under the Gen-
eral State law
Under the new law. both bucks
and doe's may be taken. This is
desirable for good management
practices, said the Assistant Dir-
ector, since the intention is to re-
move over-population of deer re-
gardless of sex.
"It is sunplv a matter of keep-
ing the herds within the limits
prescribed by the carrying capacity
of the land involved." he explained.
"And sound management calls for
maintaining herd balance as to
t!u number of bucks and does,"
The first such hunt on the Kerr
area was confined to bucks last
fall, since Kerr county had not
yet authorized taking of antlei-
less deer. This autorization is now
pending for 1935.
Under the free hunt system, in-
terested hunters submit their nam-
es to Commission headuarters in
Austin and the allotted number of
hunters then is selected in a public
drawing.
Seventy-five names were drawn;
seventy hunters showed up
at the Kecr area and thirty-six got
their bucks. The only cost to hunt-
ers was the regular $2 15 state
license.
The Assistant Director said it
is not planned at the present to
conduct public hunts on the two
other wildlife management areas
in Brewster county, in the Big
Bend country, and in Hemphill
county, in the Panhandle.
He said details of the two hunts
contemplated would be announced
later in ample tune for the ap-
plicants to send in their names
lor the public drawing, and em-
phasized that i.o such names will
be accepted at this time.
