MUZZLELOADER HUNTS DRAW 3,000 APPLICATIONS
AUSTIN--More than 3,000 people applied to hunt deer in the state's first
muzzleloader hunts last fall. Of the more than 300 that participated, 43 percent were
successful.
Muzzleloader hunts for deer and exotic animals were held at five state parks,
Choke Canyon-North Shore, Lost Maples, Seminole Canyon, Enchanted Rock and
Guadalupe River. Glenn Boydston, wildlife survey coordinator at the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department, on March 25 briefed the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission
Regulations Committee on results of these hunts and of a muzzleloader survey from
information gathered from these hunters.
The department received 3,320 applications for the 506 available permits, a
ratio of 6.6 applications for each available permit. The 337 participants harvested 145
animals, 25 bucks and 120 antlerless deer. (The few exotic animals taken are listed
among the totals for antlerless deer.)
Muzzleloader hunts for antlerless deer and spike bucks were held on four
areas. Of the 1,594 people applying for 425 slots, 261 hunters harvested 106 animals,
15 spikes and 91 antlerless deer.
Stats from the four areas were:
* Enchanted Rock, 683 applications, 129 permits available, 76 participants,
40 animals harvestedU OF NT DEP. LIBRARIES 76203
