Time to reap the harvest from hunts

Body
Deer seasons in Texas (with a few exceptions) are coming to a close. Of course, deer hunting will continue on TPWD managed ranches where the state sets harvest limits. On these ranches hunting is allowed with all legal means from the beginning of bow season through February. Deer are tagged with special tags provided by TPWD rather than the tags on one’s hunting license. Of course, we have feral hogs to hunt year around and there is no better time than after the close of deer season to hunt them.
