Wet conditions over the past few years can provide healthy deer populations but also make it harder to get the bucks out in the open. The average weather, with a nice cold front that just came through in early December, should also help to get the whitetail moving. What was expected to be an average year for Texas’s banner big game, has a chance to turn into a good year. Early reports from the Texas Wildlife departs have been solid. Green grass and solid food supplies have helped the deer population flourish in the past few years. The whitetail deer number in Texas has grown to 4 million and continues to increase. It’s a good year to try to get out and fill your tags. The season ends in mid-January, so you still have some time to fill the freezer.
