i'm headed up to a buddys lease for the extended spike and doe season, anyone seeing any animals up that way.

thanks

nope....

you shouldnt have any issues for does.....i am just bitter in general. my panhandle place sucked....good luck though!

I haven't hunted up there yet, but I just leased a place up there on the Red River. What do you know about Hardeman County as far as good places to hunt? I've heard a lot of good things about Hardeman County, so that's why I lease the place. Just hope it turns out to be a good place.

another buddy that hunts the lease was there from 12-18 to 12-24 and didn't see A animal, i hope i'm not wasting my time,BUT hey, i'm in the woods, good friends, good food and a little booze, if an animal shows great, if not im sure i'll have a great time. just won't be eating vennison in a couple weeks. thanks for the reply

sounds like your gonna do fine.....

It will be fine, the panhandle is horrible after first week in dec, been hunting up there 1997

the buddy i'm going with this weekend got a 13 pt with 2 kickers, scored 163 5/8, got it first week of december, seen another one about the same size, he's still there (i hope) their lease is 15 miles either way to childress are quanah and about 3 miles south of the red river, i think their getting off the lease this year. no fences, people can pull up on property and do as they want. it's in the middle of nowhere, like pretty much everything in the panhandle.

if he does would you mind passing along the info? you can pm me if you like....
seriously i am looking for a lease...

i'll ask this week end, if he is i'll get name and contact info. i'll put a post up where you can contact me

My place is in the Palo Duro Canyon and been there since 2000... Typically season is usually good the entire season for me. Amazing how the animals seem to change from place to place. Panhandle doesn't have the number that South Texas-West Texas does, but they get BIG up there. Killed my largest to date this past Thanksgivin. 179 5/8s green score official.

They definitley grow them big there. Been hunting the southern panhandle area in Hardeman and now Foard for 5-6 yrs. Some places the numbers are low but the bucks get big. Be patient, wait till it cools off around November then it turns on!

Haven't seen anything since before Christmas, incredibly slow
