I'm not on the map? Medina Co. is just west of Bexar Co. , includes the towns of Castroville, Lytle, D'Hanis, Hondo and I live in the far NE corner of the county. But I don't know what part of Medina Co. the deer breeding ranch is in. I think the reason why the deer from other states are brought in is because the hunters supposedly like to shoot the large bucks with the antler racks. Well, a lot of Texas deer are kind of small and there's only so many mature bucks with those racks, anyway...those tend to get shot, you know? I never do see any deer with antlers here. So they have these ranches that import deer and breed the more desirable kinds, I guess. Personally, I think that's disgusting! And although they haven't found any evidence so far that this disease could eventually turn out like Mad Cow Disease...well, who knows? In Europe, they were clueless about their cattle for a long time, and kept eating that beef from the sick cattle.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
