Welcome..... Mule Deer Hunters!
The Mule Deer season formally opens at sunup on Saturday, November 28th and continues through Sunday, December, December 13th. During this period, Van Horn will be hosting the Trans-Pecos Big Buck Tournament. This year, the Tournament is headed up by Lainie Koch and her staff with headquarters at the Van Horn Convention Center. Deer season is always a big plus for our community as it brings in lots of hunters who spend lots of money with local merchants. The Tournament adds to the economic impact of deer season with the added emphasis of prize money for the elusive trophy bucks. If you can spare some time, you might drop by the Convention Center and give Lainie and her staff a helping hand.
