Don't worry SlaminEm, Mills is a great county. They are there and starting to move around. Cater to the does (and don’t shoot them!!). What part of Mills do you hunt? I'm south of Goldthwaite about 10 miles or so

Give them time to clean up the acorns.

Mills has one of the highest deer populations in TX. It's not uncommon if you either have food plot or plenty of corn to see 20 to 30 deer. If your feeding them they will come. Be patient the acorns are almost gone after the rain.

I saw 25 opening morning, and my stand only sees about 3 acres of area. But we have a large population in our area SE of Goldthwaite.

Deer were moving at our place, about 5 miles south of Goldthwaite, today. Didn't see squat last weekend, but they're definitely moving this weekend.

First time I've seen deer back at the feeders in a while. Oh, and downed an nice 10 pointer about 5:16 this evening.

South San Saba county, has been slow at our place. Tons of acorns and the deer are not coming to the feeders. We have trees with acorns still there. Hope this cold weather knocks them out.

we have saw some good ones on our place but no shooters yet that were in good light , I saw a real big 10 that I bet goes 160 but he was across the fence and chasing like crazy so it's just a matter of time before he makes a mistake.

The rut has kicked in to high gear here the last few days. Get out there as soon as you can boys and girls. Have seen several mature bucks in high gear stupid mode this week. grin

We've been down there the last 3 weekends and been seeing movement each time. Last weekend bucks running does all over, and seeing a few more coming into the feeders. We near Caradan, east of goldthwaite.
Don't forget to stop in ranchland feeds and pic up rifle tickets for the rifles they give away at the wild game dinner thanksgiving weekend.

I'm also near Caradan. I've seen a lot of deer and a fair amount of chasing. One mature buck slipped and came into view. Too bad he was a cull 8. Old knarly buck, split G2 on one beam and crab claw on the other...but massive longs beams. He didn't present a good shot or I'd be showing photos. I have a few good young prospects as well.

The biggest difference I've seen this year is the amount of trash bucks. Spikes, 3 points, etc. It's been a few years since I've seen many of them. I feel it's partially due to the drought but time will tell.

I've heard lots of shooting around me and very near my fence. I've also seen the warden roll by on FM 575.
