  Central Texas is entering the summer season in an exceptional drought category.  The eight months from October 2010 through May 2011 have been the driest eight-month period on record for Texas since 1895.  The LazyJ is regularly putting out protein blocks and high protein feet to try to sustain the does and fawns through this period.  See Mike Leggett's article in the Austin American Statesman.
