Bought my own little slice of heaven and there are deer... - 10/14/16 05:49 PM
Alright fellas. I'm not new to deer hunting but I am new to it in Texas and on my land. I've never set up a feeder but just purchased 19 acres to build a house on and put up a feeder 4 weeks ago. Got the pictures below in the first 8 days but here are my questions.
1) Since I only have 19 acres, should I be letting anything I like "walk" for next year?
2) There seem to be a lot of deer in the area, so should I be concerned with filling my tags on just 19 acres?
3) I've never shot a "big" buck. I've always hunted for meat and the fun. Some of these look like good deer and are certainly more trophy worthy than anything I've ever shot. Are any of these "big" and what would they score? I have no idea on how to score a deer.
Thanks in advance gents.
Snaggletooth. Not shooting him, I just thought he looked cool:
