Show Antelope Face Roundup Some ranches of west Texas are becoming overstocked with antelope, as is evidenced by reports that they are getting more than their shar.e of the grass, much to the disadvantage disadvan-tage of range cattle. To remedy this condition the state game commission com-mission is making plans for a roundup round-up of the excess antelope and their removal to ranches where owners have asked for colonies of them. Antelope multiply rapidly and upon the ranch of Lee Fisher in the upper Rio Grande border a small herd of them has increased until it now numbers more than 500 head. Rounding up the animals that are to be moved to new grazing grounds will afford a group of selected cowboys cow-boys plenty of exciting sport, game protection officials said. The men who do this work will be the most efficient ropers and drivers of west Texas. They will camp while col- lecting and transferring the antelope to the several ranches which have been selected for them. |
