Ok This looks like where you can say your peace on the subject

The rut is much later in south texas, extending the season down there makes a little bit of sense because it allows for the secondary rut. In north texas and the rolling plains this is not an issue. And when you take into account that the deer start losing their antlers in late december early January it increases the odds that someone shoots a buck by mistake. Most deer leases allow for 1 trophy buck and hunters will postpone shooting doe until they take their buck. Extending just puts this off longer, it does not increase the number of deer shot. If anything, they should do an early season doe season if their goal is to increase the number of deer taken each year.

We pay our ranch about about 24k over what the deer hunters pay for the right to hunt quail. The access to our acreage is staggered but most of it comes after deer season. I'm not sure the deer hunters would be willing to pick up that tab for the right to hunt 2 more weeks. But when you take those 2 weeks away from quail hunters it's huge.

Hope you are right.

We are MLD and we still shut it down early. It's to much pressure on the deer and it's to much time for more mistakes at the wrong deer. Plus me and ccbirddogman need our space.

Heard it didn’t pass. I also heard partially because quail hunters had spoken up.
