I'm west of you at Ringgold, saw two little bucks and a nice eight point this evening. Not seeing any chasing right now. Deer are coming to our food plots and feeders. Also three does this evening. Had a lot of hogs, shot 5 of them last week and haven't seen any since. I don't know, well I think I do know, we have all of our stands (4) set up on the perimeter of 320 acres. We don't drive on the place in vehicles and especially 4 wheelers all during deer season. We implemented this rule 2 years ago and the number of deer on our place has risen noticeably. As low of an impact as we can, make it a safe place for the deer, cover , water and food and don't disturb them. We do take a Polaris once every week or two to fill up feeders and this is always in the middle of the day. Good Luck!

So are you near Smith's Triple Creek Ranch?

we got a really nice old 11 pt east of nocona around 3301 and 1956...neck was still big but not coming out during day
if anyone around there bags a nice one, let me know...just trying to keep track of the big boys in the area

No big boys in my neck of the woods this year, except big pigs got plenty of those unfortunately

Finally got a mature deer on camera it only took until the middle of December

Nice one, still looking for a shooter myself. Good Luck!

That's good news MM. Especially seeing that you have daytime pics!

Take some rattling horns with you if you need to bring him in. The way he's working that rub he will respond to them in this post rut phase. Good luck!

Not sure why, but I've never had success rattling. Now a decoy and a grunt call are a different story! I've had pictures of this buck for 3 years since he was a 4yr old. If my dad doesn't get him this year, I'd love to see what he looks like at 7!

Considering all of the deer in our pics have no broken tines, they don't even know what a fight is. I only have pics of the little guys sparing and can't recall the last buck rattled in. But I am not getting out of the blind so probably is a factor.

Looking at the weather I am not sure anyone is going to go this weekend. I would if wife wasn't going out of town. Weather just brutal with the kids. With water line cracked from last freeze and going to be frozen this weekend daughter would not be happy.

My Son shot a nice 8 pt and I killed this Hog. 3 of us saw 18 does and 8 bucks this evening. They were moving and moving early. Good day to be hunting!

Very nice! Congrats! That pig looks huge.

Anybody out this week in the cold, or past weekend? I'm sitting now, curious about movement.

Ducked hunted Saturday morning and it was pretty slow, the pigs are wrecking my place so bad it ridiculous. Walked through the thickest parts of my property and didn't even spook one up. So I'm not sure where the staying.

I miss hunting in montague county. I really miss it when I'm driving from McKinney to Collingsworth county. I used to hunt around Illinois bend north of st. joe.

Went out this past Sun - Tues... boy it was cold! I pulled cards expecting a lot of doe pics, but there was finally a bunch of feeder activity. Also it appears that the late rut was pretty intense as well. I had a new comer to my property on camera, too bad he didn't poke his head out during daylight.

That's crazy mass, for a montague deer. Good luck getting that stud!

Good looking buck, hope you see him.

Grandson got a really nice 8 point a week ago. Took it to Dale Wade, local taxidermist who said it would score between 135 and 137. It was an old deer, about 6 1/2 yoa with not much teeth left. I'll try for a doe this weekend. After that, it's pig time and I have no shortage. Actually, I could say that I'm over run with them.

Yep time to go on hog patrol
