RE: New Texas 'Spread' laws...
Our lease only allows one doe per lease. Some members have two leases so get two does.
I've seen about 4 does to every buck this season. That's pretty typical. Most bucks I've seen are spikes or very small 4 or six pointers. 1 1/2 year old deer.
I'm not really against the new regulations but having lived under stricter ones for nineyears nowI haven't seen where it helps the harvest.
I think my lease should open up and control more by killing does but we're on the LAMPS program and can only kill what they give us, one permit per membership.
I put my doe in the freezer this past weekend. Shoulda done it sooner I suppose but I like to hold out till after the second rut in Dec.
