Been a lean year. Need maximum effort this weekend.

Best of luck to you!!!

Good luck Bob. I'm not far away from Cisco. Just scanned my neighbor's wheat field with a spotlight and saw 4 deer. If they follow the usual pattern they'll be gone by shooting light. Coyotes are sounding off right now.

We're right outside cisco. I've only seen one deer this year.

Watching 3 does right now in Montague. Been deer daycare all year at this stand. Lots of does, young and old.

I'm next door on Callahan county and it has been a very slow year. Hoping that it changes soon.

slow in coleman 22 miles south of cross plains

Nothing here just north of you in sw Stephens county. Unless the 5 cows under my feeder for the last 30 mins counts

At lest its something alive. Even my rabbit friend is gone.

Lots of activity this evening, though nothing I'm interested in dropping the hammer on. They waited until LAST light to start showing up, then they started arriving in two's and threes. Turned into a swingin' shindig, young bucks chasing all the does in circles and the does were playin' along.

Oh well.

Got a 900ac lease in Eastland off HWY16 and its a desert out there. I haven't seen a deer, bumped a deer. I've been all over the place and nothing! No buck rubs, no scraped, no tracks. I even climbed the mountains and glassed the flats etc.. NOTHING!!

The guy who is running the lease, after asking him, he has never seen a deer in two seasons. Says he has game cam pix of a deer but never seen one in person.

I've learned my lesson on Eastland!!



If I only had to hunt Eastland County,,,, I'd quit

Eastland has had allot of hunting pressure for as long as I can remember, I heard it was shot out back in the 80's IDK. Being close to the metro mess has it's disadvantages I suppose. I have also seen some nice deer reportedly come out of there too, so,, go figure.

Lots of high fences about now.

I was going to mention that, but only know of the ones off of 20 that have been there for some time, is it the same throughout the county?

Yep, more are starting to show up. We fenced ours in 1995. There were tons of deer and no age on bucks. I'm close to Ranger. I've known of a few that hunted north of Ranger and the deer sightings were limited. I think it all depends on what part of the county you hunt in.

I hunt Eastland, see nice bucks on cams mostly at night or when I m not there

We jumped a deer last week heading to pond to hunt duck

There's a nice high fence to the west , I think it's 20,000 acres with landing strip:
Canyon Ranch

Saw a bunch of his antelopes by fence on way in one day, hell of a place


This country have mostly nocturnal deer and hogs,,tough hunting but I prefer this
Over hill country's easy harvest

That is correct. It's the Cook Canyon ranch. It's not to far from my place. He is Looooaaadddeeedddd!

We are in cisco. First deer of the year was taken Thursday morning. I have seen less and less deer as the season has gone along. I'm lucky to see one deer a weekend at this point. Two of our hunters have yet to see a deer this season. Not sure what the deal is. Heck the hogs have even started to disappear.

Haven't seen a pig in two years.

I had a group of 20+ coming in every night up until this weekend. No telling what they are up to now.

Hogs disappeared on our place a few months ago. Seems they come and go as they please. I took a few friends out after Thanksgiving to shoot some does. We didn't see any to shoot. All we saw were young bucks and a few mature ones. We took out a cull though

Congrats on seeing your first deer!!

I would call that a successful year and hang it up

Your welcome to come out to my place and hunt. I see deer every night.

Bring your bow and we will see how easy it is

I'm north of Cisco and not seeing a lot. Seeing lots on the cameras but not during hunting hours. My buddy took a nice one opening morning but since then, only seeing young does.

That s the problem we re seeing : big bucks coming out Mostly at night

That's ok , I have a lot of time ,,, buck will make mistakes eventually
