FOUR THOUSAND BUCKS
KILLED IN COUNTY
According to Game Warden R.
L. Stevens, over four thousand
bucks were killed in Bandera
County during the recent hunt-
ing season. This is just an es-
timate he said, as all the land-
owners do not have their places
leased and do not require permits.
Warden Stevens reported he
had issued 1100 antlerless deer
permits for the past season, with
300 antlerless deer being taken
during that time.
The antlerless deer killing was
tried in some parts of Ban-
dera county for the first time
this year, and so far, has proved
very very successful.
