Mule Deer Fanatic

Texas is not known for mule deer like it is for whitetailed deer, but Texans know how to manage deer. Apparently, panhandle mule deer are on the increase.

Proposal to Expand Panhandle Mule Deer Season: This proposal would consider adding Sherman and Hansford counties to the northern Panhandle mule deer season, and Gaines, Martin and the eastern portion of Andrews counties to the southwest Panhandle season. Wildlife biologists believe these counties have mule deer populations sufficient to allow the harvest of a few buck mule deer. A buck-only harvest would not affect the overall population, the biologists say. Opening these counties will increase hunter opportunity.
