LF ranch - the six year olds were not to be found - the drought from 5-6 years ago hurt us - all these guys were 7 or older. We have some great 4-5 year olds coming - the last buck pictured is one we shot but never found - we ended our season today

If I ever hunt on a place where that isn't an "exceptional year," I'll consider myself a very lucky hunter. But, I know that y'all have, through a great management plan, created one helluva a hunting property. I'm very impressed every time you post photos of y'all's deer.

It's a shame y'all didn't find that last buck, he's very unique. Are you pretty sure he's dead?

all these deer were in the 150s up to 170 - we typically take 6 year old and up bucks in the 170s-190s -

so it was still a nice year for us - just not what we typically take

We've had a great year so far with 6 weeks to go. I'm surprised y'all aren't MLD.

Our great year is an average year for y'all so I don't feel sorry for y'all LOL!

we are MLD - we start mid Oct and stop mid Jan - three months is plenty to get things done plus our land owner gets tired! We took over 80 does and around 40 cull and management bucks off - plus lots of yotes and pigs - things look good for next few years if mother nature goes along with the program

Great deer anyway! Looks like a great management program - the drought will take it's toll but good to have "backup" deer like that!

No shortage of bucks on camera but very few in our sights. We saw more young deer and spikes this year than any of the previous 22 years.

Dang good looking bucks to say the least! is it fair to ask what county you are hunting in?

Not an exceptional year for us but things are improving. Saw more bucks and doe than what we have seen in a while. The number of doe killed on our small 216 acres these last 3-4 years is down and I think that is one reason we are seeing more deer.
