South Texas Plains The South Texas Plains region is
known for exceptional bucks pro- duced in that region and a moder- ate deer density compared to other areas of the state. The 2015 estimated deer density
for South Texas is 34.43 deer per 1,000 acres or 447,160 deer. The 2016 population is expected to be higher this year with a good fawn crop in the forecast. South Texas has been plagued by dry conditions over the last 6 to 8 years so the fawn crops have been relatively low, but consistent, which translates into a relatively even distribution of bucks among all age classes. Hunters should expect to see a

woods ecoregion indicate a gradual population increase. The highest estimated deer density during the last 11 years was 2015, with an es- timate of 270,000 deer or 20.4 deer per 1,000 acres. The extensive fl ooding in the
spring of this year likely had some impact on the deer population in the region, and I would expect the overall numbers to be down a little this year. I’ve received some reports of
adult deer mortality related to the fl ooding along the Trinity and Bra- zos river drainages. We can also expect the fl oods to have increased fawn mortality rates this year. Hunters should be cognizant that
