Twenty-Six TPWD Doe Permits Received for 2006-07!
 Night Deer Countin' |
|
All the deer day-light observation and night counts were completed in plenty of time to receive the Reed Ranch deer harvest report for the 2006-07 season. Along with this report came 26 doe permits, which makes up our doe harvest for this season. Current plans are for the club membership to complete this doe harvest.
I recognize that some of you have already been asking for more information about any of group doe hunts that we have planned - and the youth doe hunt that we've had in year's past. Sorry to report to you non-club members, but - at this point in time, there's no group doe hunts or youth doe hunts that's planned for this year. However, we'll see how things pan out for next year!
