Anyone else on here in Mills County? We have an 1800 acre lease off FM 218 between Priddy and Zephyr. Heard quite a few shots opening morning all around us. Just trying to figure out who may be on the board that's around that area. Maybe we can meet up next weekend.

we are 4 miles south of Zephyr, county road 191

I hunt Mills County. Very close to where you hunt, Sully.

I'm off of 218, closer to Hwy 16, in Priddy.

i have hunted around democrat for 20 years(between zephyr and priddy) also have land between zephyr and mullin, and 4 miles south of zephyr. one of the shots you heard was prob my uncle killing him a doe.

I grew up on a racnh five miles south of Zephyr

I hunt near Star Texas in Mills County.

I hunt that same area, between Zephyr and Priddy. I think I'm pretty close to you also Sully.

I hunt in Mills county (Caradan). I know of a 18" 9 oint taken opening morning and a 15" 11 oint Sunday morning. The younger deer seemed pretty interested in chasing but the big one will robably hold off till the next cold snap which is this coming weekend. The Ar's seem to be working only two years into it. Hoefully some of the other roerties in the area can let some of the younger deer walk even if they are "legal shooters".

Well my p doesn't seem to be working to well tonight.

BScheu, do you drive a big gray dodge? If so, I think I saw you last weekend with a 12 point in your truck.

Thats near where I hunt. but where I hunt near priddy, there are no deer. Nothing but hogs. Must have been all the shots you were talking about.

Wow, we all hunt close to each other...

we ought to all get together some time out there.

Chances are you can find me at the beverage bank most days I am out there. Might head up this weekend, not sure yet.

Eddie at the Beverage Bank is a great guy.

I stop in and talk with him every time I go through.

Headed out there tonight.

Mills county...caradan area for me too. I'll be in the stand Friday afternoon and all weekend.

My neighbors are fellow THF members but haven't been able to shake their hand yet.

If someone plans a get together, I'll do my best to attend. Priddy isn't far from me at all

The only problem with planning a get together is where would we do it?

There isn't anywhere in Priddy.

We could go to Brownwood, Comanche or Goldthwaite

We hunt in Democrat, 6 of the shots yall heard came from our lease. Two nice 8's and a decent 9, two pigs with one shot, and two pigs with two shots! Awesome weekend for four hunters!!!

Almost forgot, one cowhorn spike took a dirt nap and had several free ranging exotics shot at but missed:(.

Free ranging exotics? were they blackbucks? we used to have a bunch on our property that our landowner placed out there, but they seemed to have disappeared.

Same thing happened to us, we had 30 or 40 blackbuck four years ago, the last two years, I have only seen two out there. I don't think it helped that every time we went out there last year, the landowner always left the main gate wide open.

Anyone seen any Axis running around? Ive a buck twice on FM575 north of caradan

crazy to hear all the talk of Priddy and Democrat my grandfather grew up in Democrat and still resides there. literally been hunting there since I was 6 and now I am 29. The last 5 years I have mainly hunted my lease, my dad's, and our family land. Over the 24 odd years I have seen several good deer (130 plus) missed 2 killed 2, and videod one about 150. The worst part for me is that some of ya'll might be responsible for what I now call "crappy hunting".

Born and raised in between Goldthwaite and Mullin.
