Damn dude that's one he'll of a deer.

Sorry for the late response.

It was a slow year for us. We saw a bunch of young stuff, took a couple of does, and had a mountain lion roaming around keeping the deer away. We never got a look at it bud while filling feeders we drove up on a kill so fresh that a fly hadn't landed on it yet.

Same with us, lots of young bucks but only a few older class deer. Also had trail cams of the lion came thru our lease had pics of him on each end of the lease only about 4 hours apart.

I hope those cougars help get rid of some of the damn goats, and sheep that roam the area.

Anyone been out recently? Heading out Friday to top off feeders and get ready for the season.

I haven’t been down that way in awhile. I didn’t get on the lease this year, but my buddy that still hunts there said it’s green. The deer weren’t really even hitting the feeders, yet.

Was up that way for bow opener and it was super green and really the slowest deer movement seen in 4 years.

Getting some reports that we got a ton of rain yesterday and might have to cancel my trip. Can anyone shed some more light on how much we got?

I've heard reports of up to 11 inches in a 4 hour span

I think amounts varied across the county. I believe the east side got more than the west.

Heading out Saturday. Got to feed my babies.

Anyone driving on 163 / 1973 South of Ozona or 1024 North of Comstock? I see on drive Texas they have “closed” the roads but this has been done before and it was driveable. Looking at heading out tonight.

Thanks

I have not, but have noticed in the past road closure signs still in place on roads that we completely dry. I don't think road crews remove the signs for several days afterwards in some cases. Be safe out there

We were out there last week, it was green as all get-out. Not much action at the feeders. It's going to be a Advantage deer till we get a couple of good hard freezes. On the other hand the deer should be very healthy this year.

We were out there last weekend, Picked up a couple of Hogs and nice little Aoudad Ram for the Daughter. Saw quite a few deer, nothing going to the feeder (Hogs are the exception) All of the deer looked full and happy, Lots of water standing everywhere.

Made it through on Friday morning to 1973 with no issues. 1973 was still officially closed and we pushed on. One water crossing had several inches maybe 10 in it still but all good. Then the dirt road was bad and had to use 4x4 to get down it. Activity has been a bit more as seeing it start to brown a bit.

Who made it out last weekend? We had a few guys go out and movement was slow and not much coming to the feeders which is expected. They did shoot an old 10pt that was on his way back down but that was it.

My dad made it out. He didn't see a thing. My vacation starts monday, but i think I'm gonna go fishing. I have another week of vacation in Dec, I think I'll go hunting then.

My son and grandson had deer coming to their respective feeders. Big 8 was elusive so no shots. Son had a sparring match between two young bucks, early Saturday morning.
I had does showing up but no antlers.
Roads were muddy.

Spent the weekend out, not a lot of movement but saw a couple of bucks a nice size sow that didn't make it home and an abundance of pigs that were a touch too elusive to drop. Didn't hear a lot of shots in the neighborhood, everything looked fat and happy. lots of water still standing, still a lot of green with tall grass, the weather got a little on the "it should be perfect for hunting (Cold and wet)" and felt good to have a fire and enjoy the evening. Game Warden that checked us indicated that not a lot of deer had been taken over the weekend but quite a few hogs. Just a quick status.
