Deer hunting big business
AUSTIN, Tex. 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.

that number in the next few
years.
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.
