Default RE: New Texas 'Spread' laws...

First I hunt a $600 a year lease that is full of hogs, deer, ducks, and fish....I know lots of people that drop more money and I might in one day but not now. It is 1100 acres and there are 8 of us on it. Only 3 of us hunt hard. I have included a pic of the type of deer you can shot if you let them grow up a little.

The purpose of the restrictions is to increase the age of the deer harvested. An older deer is a bigger deer. The larger antlers go with the age. The stated purpose is to correct the current age structure of the herd. The harvest only went down the first year after that it met or exceeded the long term average. The increase oppurtunity will come when they also allow you to take a spike, That will turn the one buck counties into 2 buck counties.

P.S. And no there are no opening on the lease.....LOL.
