Curtis Converse, former Navy aircraft maintenance specialist, sits in a deer stand at Addicks Reservoir Nov. 14, 2023. For the last five years, USACE Galveston District (SWG), has partnered with Texas Parks & Wildlife Department game wardens and the non-profit Lone Star Warriors Outdoors (LSWO) to offer combat veterans the chance to assist USACE in managing the deer population at the reservoirs. Addicks and Barker Reservoirs comprise 26,000 acres of area used to hold water in extreme rainfall and prevent flooding of Buffalo Bayou and downtown Houston.
