The last weekend of muzzle loader season ( jan 15). I checked my cameras and saw several bucks that have already lost both or one side. I would post a pic but cant figure out how to do it on photobucket now a days---they changed something with it

Anyways, this year has been a very strange one. I saw bucks chasing doe and coupled up with them in mid August. A doe we shot Thanksgiving weekend had a fetus in her approx 5" long. In December most scrapes were unattended indefinitley were usually they will slack off for a week or 2 then they will start attending them again around Christmas.

Its been a weird season this year for east texas

About now we can start shed hunting before the critters beat us to the calcium source.

Saw a medium sized buck in north San Antonio this afternoon that was sans antlers.

It has been a weird year all around...

Have seen them shed from the end of December to late April, most in Feb and March though

All depends on the deer

My brother and I had to stop and let 8 bucks cross the county road this morning. They were all carrying both antlers here in Mills County. I was surprised to see that many running together this early in the year.

Are you on a HF ranch? The free rangers I hunt dont shed till mid march.


Recently got a gym membership, strange folks! I like to show up the roid zombies with my full motion curls with the 55lb. bells. Not their cheater short stroked light weights. It's holarious.
