Deer Management Program

Members of the Eastman Archery Club manage a spotlight deer survey with assistance from Texas Parks and Wildlife when needed. These employees brave mosquitoes and summer heat to conduct the night survey of whitetail deer. The purpose of the count is to estimate the population per acre in the Nature and Wildlife Habitat Center and surrounding Eastman property in order to determine the health of the deer population. The first survey was conducted in 1998, with a second survey conducted in 2008. Future surveys will be conducted every other year.
