It is difficult to describe conditions in almost the entire state right now. The current drought is the worst single year drought in recorded history. Even in the famed 1950's drought, it rained enough to make cotton and other crops. The state has lost almost all crops this year and it burning. Bastrop State Park, about 60 miles west of me, has almost burned to the ground. 35 square miles and 500-800 homes gone in this fire alone. Huge dead oak and other trees are virtually everywhere. Many farm ponds (some of which used to have great bass fishing) are all dried up. If this was happening in California, every news channel would be all over it.
I've fed and watered the small deer herd on my place, so they are doing fine. I guess there are many areas that aren't so lucky. Fellow Texans, how is the deer herd faring in your hunting area?
