Texas deer population bouncing back following drought
SUMMARY: The Texas Parks and Wildlife officials are expecting the deer population in Texas to rebound from last year's reduced numbers due to drought conditions. Sufficient rainfall during the spring has led to nutrient-rich vegetation that deer rely on, and has also helped newborn fawns survive past their first six months. The 2023 and 2024 deer hunting seasons are expected to have good harvest numbers and opportunities. Areas that missed out on rain will still see at least an average amount of deer, exceeding the numbers seen in 2022. The TPWD emphasizes the importance of managing Chronic Wasting Disease and implementing carcass movement restrictions.
