MEMBER NEWS:

·        With the season well underway, this is a reminder that our recommended doe harvest is one deer for every 28 acres.  For example, a 400 acre ranch would harvest 14 does under Mike Miller’s recommendation. Even 50% would be 7 does. Please have your hunters take advantage of the holiday time and late doe season. Less does means better browse, healthier fawn crops and bigger bucks.

·        Our spring meeting will be held the first Saturday in April. Carter Smith, Executive Director of Texas Parks and Wildlife will be our keynote speaker. This is a great opportunity for you to meet the #1 person in TP&W and for him to see what great things Simms Creek WMA is doing. More about this later.

·        Texas Deer Association www.texasdeerassociation.com will be at this event and write a feature article on the day’s activities and how WMAs are working. We welcome this group and look forward to introducing you to this wildlife organization that is working for you right here in Texas.
