"In general, white-tailed deer in west Texas are slowly increasing in numbers and gradually expanding in distribution, although populations in some areas have stabilized. Deer numbers in the extreme western Edwards Plateau range from 10-25 acres per deer (depending on the ranch and the respective management practices) and have existed at this density for some time. The white-tailed deer is expanding westward into Pecos and Brewster counties, primarily along brushy draws and drainages. They are also expanding south along brushy draws and canyons toward the Rio Grande River in Terrell and southeast Brewster counties (rugged country previously occupied exclusively by mule deer). There are a few exceptions to this trend in Terrell and eastern Pecos counties, where white-tailed deer numbers are decreasing and mule deer numbers are increasing. These are localized situations that involve substantial reduction of woody cover, which favors the behavior and survival of mule deer."
