Still developing the deer herd on my buds place. A dual drop tine with 12 pt rack, and this one, allowed to walk this year and pass on the genes. We'll see what they look like next year. We whack hogs nearly ever time we go out and sit and wait on them. Pics like this help get neighbors on board with a management program. Better to take full grown quality animals than one baby buck every year. Even if means no bucks killed for several seasons in a row. Cheers

I'm afraid I wouldn't have had your patience, especially on a smaller tract of land. Kudos to you

Sweet 10 & sound game management How many acres do you hunt? My bud bought 100 acres last summer. The neighbor who bought the adjacent 110 acres doesn't hunt and gave persission to hunt that also. There is another 500+ acres joining these two parcels and the owner has never hunted it and doesn't let any kin hunt it. We bought X-Sights a couple weeks ago but haven't been able to get out to sight them in and night hunt yet. Cheers

Sounds like y'all are doing a good job of managing the place and obviously have got a few really nice bucks already. I can attest to the quality of the deer hunting in the blackland praire east of I35. My friend's dad used to have a small farm near Staples, east of San Marcos. The deer density wasn't that great, but a few of the bucks were absolute studs. Not sure why we drove 2 hours west to the deer lease, when we could have tried to get on a place 15 minutes from home with much bigger bucks. IMO, its definately an overlooked area with some serous potential.

Dirt how close to Granger are you? Williamson County, can't be too far from Granger, maybe ten miles as the crow flies.

Billy I'm just up the road from you in Georgetown. Does anybody actually lease for deer hunting in that area? I once had a hog lease in the Coupland area but haven't heard any mention of deer leases

tex70, no sorry, not that I know of. When people buy land around here that have deer on it, that's why they buy it to hunt it. If I hear of something, I give you a holler.
