UP) — The fall deer hunting season in Texas counts about 510,000 hunters who spend about $88 million in two months of the season. fail to put enough gun pressure on their deer herds, resulting in stunted deer and over-grazed land. The state’s overall deer popu lation is remaining fairly stable Yet biologists of the Texas at around 3.2 million animals, but Parks and Wildlife Department ' civil ization’s constant inroads on say only about a half to a third of the deer are “harvested,” as biologists say, that should be to provide maximum health for the rest of the herds. The “Business” as others call it, utilizes 37 million acres of leased land and the processed product is worth more than $6 million. A total of 290,706 deer was le gally taken during the 1970 sea son. That’s a lot of deer, but the total represents only about nine per cent of the herds. Biologists say under most con ditions annual harvest of 15 per cent to 25 per cent of the herd is appropriate. Studies have shown that a higher harvest rate results in a healthier deer herd from year to year. The acreage of lease land in creased about 11 per cent this fall, indicating an awareness on the part of many landowners of the value of deer as a market able resource. But department biologists note that many owners of large tracts ALL ORGANIZATIONS (Hometown Clubs, Professional Clubs, Etc.)

Biologists say the annual deer kill in Texas accounts for ap proximately 7.5 million pounds of boneless meat. Figuring at the current price of ground chuck beef in the stores, at about 85 cents per pound, the value of the venison expected to be taken by hunters in Texas this year is $6,375,000.
