Texas Deer Numbers Stay Strong

Oct. 31, 2025
AUSTIN — To hunters, springtime in Texas is often viewed as chasing turkeys through hot, humid weather, or hanging up the firearm for a fishing pole. For white-tailed deer, spring represents a time for growth: body growth, antler growth and population growth.
Texas began the growing season under widespread drought in March, but most of the state received much-needed rain in late spring. Where it rained, plant growth boosted antler development in bucks and allowed does to load up on calories for birth and nursing.
Rain came late to the Edwards Plateau and South Texas, but while summer rainfall helped lower temperatures and allowed for a late season green-up that benefited fawn survival, it was too late to greatly benefit antler development in those regions.
The general deer season kicks off Nov. 1 and runs through Jan. 4, 2026, in the North Zone and through Jan. 18, 2026, in the South Zone, giving folks plenty of chances to go from field to table with their harvest.
Hunters taking advantage of Texas public hunting lands must have an Annual Public Hunting Permit. It’s also important for public land hunters to consult the Public Hunting Lands Map Booklet to review regulations that may apply to specific areas. The Texas Hunt & Fish app can be used to complete on-site registration electronically at a public hunting area.

Ecoregion Highlights
The Cross Timbers in North Texas has the second highest deer population in the state and will offer hunters plenty of opportunities to harvest mature bucks.
Despite what seems like lasting spring drought conditions, the Edwards Plateau is a great deer hunting region for those looking for quality animals. It consistently has the highest hunter success rates in Texas. The catastrophic Hill Country floods may have had local impacts on fawns near river and stream channels, but most deer were able to reach higher ground.
Post Oak Savannah hunters can expect a great season of chasing mature bucks thanks to good fawn survival in previous years.
In the Pineywoods, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) biologists work with landowners and timber companies to restore and maintain quality deer habitat, which has helped sustain deer populations.
White-tailed deer population growth in the Rolling Plains in recent years has made the area a hotbed for mature bucks, and another great season is expected.
The South Texas Plains are known for mature bucks with above-average antlers. For hunters looking for a once-in-a-lifetime trophy, South Texas is often seen as the premier big buck destination.
For a detailed white-tailed deer forecast by ecological region, visit the White-tailed Deer Management page on the TPWD website.

Good Habitat Management Creates Harvest Opportunities
For many landowners and hunters, deer management doesn’t begin when the season opens. Healthy deer rely on good habitat and herd management, as well as spring rains from Mother Nature. By properly managing the land throughout the year, landowners are setting the stage for a successful deer season.
Antler growth is directly related to rainfall between April and June, and the improved habitat that follows. This year, hunters should see slightly above-average to average antler quality for most of the state. The Edwards Plateau and South Texas should expect slightly below-average to average antler quality since they missed out on spring rain. The Pineywoods, portions of the Post Oak Savannah and Cross Timbers received timely spring rains and should see above-average antler quality.
Much-needed summer rain and mild weather helped more fawns survive this year. Ranches that manage deer populations through hunting and improving native habitat will see steady improvements over time.

Protecting Texas Wildlife
Texans enjoying the outdoors are the first line of defense in protecting wildlife, livestock and humans from diseases that could have devastating effects.

New World Screwworm
New World screwworms (NWS) are parasitic flies that lay eggs in open wounds or moist body parts, such as those located in the nostrils, eyes or mouths, of live warm-blooded animals. These eggs hatch into a type of parasitic larvae (maggots) that only feed on living tissue, while other species of fly larvae prefer dead or rotting tissue. NWS larvae burrow or “screw” into living tissue with sharp mouth hooks, giving them a screw-like appearance. Infested wounds quickly become infected and, if left untreated, will kill the animal.
If you see LIVE animals with maggots, report it to your local TPWD wildlife biologist. Early detection is key. Do not delay if you suspect an NWS infestation. Reporting is crucial to response efforts and the eradication of NWS.
For more information, visit https://tpwd.texas.gov/screwworm.

Chronic Wasting Disease update
Landowners and hunters play an important role in managing Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and can reduce its impact by managing populations, properly discarding unused carcass parts, reporting sick deer and voluntarily testing.
Hunters are reminded to review the TPWD website and Outdoor Annual app to review this year’s season dates, bag limits and information about proper carcass disposal. Hunters following these regulations are allowed to debone carcasses to help prevent the accidental spread of wildlife diseases.
More information about carcass disposal regulations, voluntary sampling, check station dates and hours of operations can be found on TPWD’s CWD web page.

Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign Returns to Devine

The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign is set to return to Walmart in Devine from November 28 through December 24. As holiday shoppers make their way through the store, they will once again hear the familiar sound of bells ringing, inviting them to support those in need within our own community.
Our 2025 goal is $18,000.
Every dollar dropped into the Red Kettle at Walmart Devine stays right here in the local area, providing essential assistance to families and individuals who need it most during the holiday season and beyond. The generosity of Devine shoppers helps fund food, shelter, and emergency support, ensuring that our neighbors receive vital help when it matters most.
The Salvation Army is seeking volunteers to ring the bell and bring holiday cheer to the Red Kettle campaign. If you, your family, or your organization would like to participate, please contact us for more information. Your time and donations will make a meaningful difference for our community this holiday season.
Contact Dr. Cliff Redus: 830.931.1280 or Donna Trott: 210.215.7270.
You may mail a check to Salvation Army, P.O. Box 229, Devine, Texas 78016.

Making Wreaths Across America Happen in Devine

(Submitted by Martha Wall, LC for DECemetery and STCemetery)
Devine’s 4th National Wreaths Across America Day is less than a month away! Put Saturday, December 13, 2025, at 11:00 am, on your calendars. Come to the ceremony oak that shades Devine Evergreen and St. Joseph cemeteries and help our community carry out the Mission of Wreaths Across America to Remember, Honor, and Teach. Join the Current Events Club, families, friends and organizations – grateful Americans – and be part of an international mission taking place that day all across the United States and even around the world. Veterans buried who have ever served our country are solemnly recognized with wreaths placed on their graves. People come together to share memories, recognize the importance of veterans and their families, and talk about the sacrifices men and women have made over the centuries for our freedoms and liberties.
Sponsorships (funds) are needed to provide wreaths for the over 678 veterans who have been identified in Devine’s two WAA cemeteries. A seventeen dollar ($17) donation provides for one live, balsam wreath; your generosity helps us reach our goal so volunteers can place a wreath at every veteran grave on ceremony day. You can also volunteer by contacting a Current Events Club member. Both make this day happen right here in Devine. For more information, contact local WAA Location Coordinators Linda Kreinhop, at 830-665-6377 or luv2dancewhip@sbcglobal.net; or Martha Wall, at 210-213-5620 or marthajbwall@gmail.com. Please be sure to leave a message. You may also go to the WAA website at www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/TX1147P or use the QR code provided below.
Look for an article in next week’s paper with information on ways to use our website to sponsor (fund) a wreath at other WAA cemeteries or to sign up for a wreath you’d like to take and place at another cemetery. Your sponsorships through the Current Events Club help our group support local and area non-profits. Thank you for supporting us as you honor and remember our veterans.

Mary Kathleen “Kathy” Lynch

Mary Kathleen “Kathy” Lynch, 74, of Pearson, TX peacefully slipped the bonds of Earth surrounded by loved ones on November 6, 2025. She will be remembered for her grace, compassion, and patience; qualities which shone in both her personal life, and her careers.
Born on October 21, 1951 in East Orange, New Jersey, Kathy came to Texas to escape northeastern winters and attend the University of Houston. She first met Arthur E. Lynch Jr. in the Fall of 1971 and he asked her if she would type up some school papers for him because he was a terrible typist. One thing lead to another and a Valentine’s Day 1972 first date led to their wedding on December 22, 1973. They remained happily married for the following 52-plus years during which they raised two daughters, and many cats.
During her career, Kathy started as a Food Stamp Eligibility Case Worker in Houston eventually transferring to the Pearsall office as a Medicaid Case Worker. She later became a Supervisor in the Hondo office. Kathy then transferred to San Antonio, first writing Texas Medicaid policy for the Department of Human Services, then enforcing state Medicaid policy by advocating for Medicaid applicants. After retiring from DHS she obtained certification as a Special Ed teacher and worked at Lytle ISD for a year. Then she got an offer from Texas Certified Elder Law Attorney, Patty Flora Stichler to be Case Manager to her practice. She took the offer and worked with Patty for years, along the way co-authoring the first instructional manual on Kid’s Medicaid Benefits in Texas.
Art and Kathy bought a small house in Pearson, Texas in January of 1977 and built their lives and family there. The family grew and so did the house. It is a house and family that love built.
Those fortunate enough to call her friend or family knew Kathy could be relied upon for thoughtful guidance, a good book recommendation, and an observant quip about the state of the world.
Kathy is survived by her husband, Art; her sister, Sharon; her daughters, Jess and Liz; and two beloved grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, Doris C. and Thomas J. Riley Jr.
Arrangements were made by the Neptune Society. There will be a celebration of life at a later date.
