Backlashes and
Blown Patterns
By KARL WOLFSHOHL
Hello happy deer hunters! The season is just around
the corner now and what are you doing about it? Reading
back issues of Field & Stream? Taking target practice on
mocking birds with your Daisy sp*ittin’ image?
While we’re going through all this heavy prepara
tion for killing those critters the Texas Parks and Wildlife
men are out stomping around in the bushes counting
them for us. Now if you’ve read much hunting material at
all you know that somebody figures out how many deer
there are in the state each year and then gets that infor
mation printed up for the knowledge and well-being of all
us rugged outdoorsmen types.
Now this is called a deer census, but that’s not to
imply that the wildlife people are walking door-to-door
asking how many deer are there in your family.
No, determining deer populations accurately is not
a simple process and there are a lot more factors to
consider than we average sportsmen want to think about.
The method used most often in Texas for taking deer
counts is the deer census line, officially called the Hahn
cruise line, and it works like this. The game officials pick
a set block of land, usually with distinct boundaries like
roads, fences, etc. and they determine its acreage. Then
a count line is formed, two miles long and as nearly
straight as it can be.
The counters walk along this line and look for deer,
making note of all sightings. The counts begin one hour
before sunset and ends at sunset.
Sightings are recorded and later compared and av
eraged in with others from the area to determine density
of deer populations in a given zone, usually expressed in
number of acres per deer. The game people around
Bryan-College Station cover a five county area with 50 or
60 census lines.
The Hahn cruise line has its restrictions. Deer in
these parts usually have a range of about two miles,
making it necessary to space the lines at least four miles
apart to prevent sighting the same animal more than
once.
Also, sightings may not tell exactly how many deer
there are in an area so a correction factor of about 25
percent is figured in.
Fawns are counted as well as grown animals to get
some indications of what the deer crop will look like next
year. But this is by no means the only factor that will
determine future populations. Food availability,
weather, disease and die-offs also figure in heavily.
Doe permits are issued when too many deer are
found in a given area. The permits are placed in the
hands of landowners who then dispense them to hunters.
In this way the landowner becomes a distribution agent
for the wildlife department. Thus he saves the depart
ment some trouble while at the same time getting rid of
unwanted or overabundant deer on his land.
Local state wildlife people have found deer popula
tions to be down just very slightly from last year in Brazos
and Grimes counties and note that concentrations of post
oak acorns, a prime deer food, are spotty. Deer counts in
our area are being completed now.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1974
UT favored
to defend
track crown
By BOB GIBBONS
Staff Sports Writer
Track meets seem to be won by
team depth and this is why the Uni
versity ofTexas is a heavy favorite to
successfully defend its Southwest
Conference track crown.
Texas owes its track and field
depth and SWC track titles the past
two years to 40 track scholarships
they give out each year. Aggie track
coach Charlie Thomas can only
allow 23 based on the existing athle
tic budget at A&M. Although this
situation will be alleviated in 1976
when each team will be allowed a
maximum of 23 track scholarships,
this year’s conference meet will
probably feature tight competition
for second place between Texas
A&M, Baylor and Rice.
Coach Thomas sees improvement
in this year’s team, especially in the
area of field events. Three reasons
for this probable improvement are
the additions of Frank West, a trans
fer from UTEP who has thrown the
shot put 60 feet in practice, fresh
men Lynn Byrd, a 610'’ high
jumper and Pat Ruehle, a 15 foot
pole vaulter.
Field event men Bill Newton in
the javelin and Brad Blair in the
pole vault are back to defend their
1974 SWC titles. These four should
give A&M opponents quality com
petition in their respective events.
The remaining SWC title-holders
back from last year’s team are con
ference meet high point men and
440-yard dash champion Doug
Broadhead and 120-yard high hur
dle winner Scottie Jones, who was
also the SWC high point man for the
1974 track season. Both runners are
seniors.
In regard to the 1975 track sea
son, Broadhead said, "If we can
eliminate injuries and improve our
relays we have an outside chance of
beating Texas. They lost some good
people from last year’s team.”
The Aggies should be stronger in
their only deep position, the
sprints. Returning speed demons
Charles Dawson, Gerald
D’Ambrosio and Sammy Dierschke
will be joined by freshmen Chuck
Butler of Pittsburgh, Pa. and the
Texas AAA high school 100 and 220
yard dash champions, Robert Harris
and Ray Brooks.

RIFLE TEAM
Texas A&M University rifle
shooters have fired a warning at
other Southwest teams.
Two Aggie teams paced by Mike
Selby and Jim Beal placed in the top
seven of 17 teams at an invitational
match Sunday at UT-Arlington.
The TAMU teams led by the two
freshmen get their next chance
Sunday. They will fire in Fort
Worth, at the International Three-
Position Invitational hosted by
TCU.
