Anyone having any luck around Lake Arrowhead? Bucks chasing does yet?

I just talked with a friend of mine who hunts in Shannon which half his lease is on Jack and the other half is in clay counties.THey have been seeing some nice deer and a few have been chasing does.He shot a 8 point this AM that scored 148.One guy on his lease shot another deer in the 140 on opening weekend.

That's good news. I'm heading out Tuesday and Wednesday so hopefully I'll see something.

A guy in our club shot a 10 point in Archer County this morning.

archer county slow with no rut being seen yet,deer have not been moving much at all i hope it changes soon.

That has been my experience as well, I'm in Young County south of Archer on Hwy 16 bellow Markley.

They are going to my feeders at night - but nothing moving during the day - not even my hogs!

in clay, no deer at all during the day, just a few coming to feeders at night..

they are moving like crazy in southern clay. where do you hunt dk44

northern clay, a little west of wichita falls.
there are some great deer, weve caught them on the cameras, but all at night

Archer County, near Holliday. Saw does Saturday morning after a light fog, slow the rest of the weekend. Need a cool front to shake things up a little. Other hunter saw a spike after some does Saturday evening, but not much else. Think we are another week or two away from rut kicking off.

Archer County, half way between Olney and Archer City on 79. Seeing lots of bucks working wheat fields during early mornings and late evenings. They are chasing does and showing some interest. I saw a nice buck lay down in a wheat field on Sat morning and wait for the doe he was with to finish feeding.

So far the deer are slow to the feeders, as I expected going into the season. Right now, we have taken 12 hogs and passed on some really nice bucks.

archer city slow this weekend still no rut going on deer moving slow to feeders.to hot

txaggrad1994 i used to hunt out in your area. we were off of sam cowan rd. about 10 miles south of archer city. great area.

Yep, real close to us! We've been out there for since '98. Lot better country for deer than most people realize.

doesn't the west fork of the trinity run through there somewhere? your right there are some big deer in that area.

Weather hasn't cooperated. I went out yesterday. Sat all day in good spot. Saw 2 does. No bucks. Definitely a little warm, so I skipped out today. Little windy to be bowhunting anyway.

Still a little slow in Archer county this past weekend. Watched a yearling working on a food plot (in dire need of a little sprinkle), and that was it. Shot a 250# sow Saturday evening, cut out the hams, shoulders, and backstrap. Nothing this morning, the fog came rolling in about 7:15-7:30, and we pulled up stakes about 8:30, not knowing when the fog would break. Hope to get back out Friday and have a better report.

still slow this past weekend,cold weather on the way.

I hope this cold front kicks things in gear. I havent seen a thing the last 4 times out. Come on cold front!

cold front helped a little but mature bucks still not showing yet maybe after this front they will start.saw little deer but thats a start.

My buddy killed a 150's size ten point up in Archer cty this past Friday.
