Anyone do any good opening weekend? I didn't get to hunt but will be out there this weekend. Hopefully ole big boy graces me with his appearance!

Where abouts in montague county do you hunt?

A buddy of mine hunts northern Jack cty,typical blackjack,postoak woods.He's been seeing lots of deer this year,unlike last.The acorn crop is non-existent,unlike last year.Good for hunters,bad for the deer.

I saw a guy Sunday at 4 corners store (148 & fm 174 intersection) with a nice 14 pt buck. He hunts 10 miles east of windthorst off 174.

Sorry should have been more specific, I hunt right outside of Nocona.

I got some deer coming to my feeder.Bucks are coming at night and looking directly at camera.Time to get that camera down I geuss.Had one giant eight pointer with a kicker of g2 during first week then stopped coming.

I hunt around nocona and have about 15 does, most with fawns, that are a feeder every time it goes off. Not seeing many bucks at all as of now.

Last year i threw out some sweet feed pellets and two days later shot a big nine point.Gunna try it again.

We're hunting between St. Jo and Nocona. Have seen quite a few young bucks all look healthy, but the Doe's with little one's have ribs showing... Very sad.

We hunt northwestern Montague co. and all of the deer we've seen so far appear to be healthy. Several bucks on camera, 8's and 10's + smaller bucks. No really big ones like we had last year, at least not yet. This rain should help the wheat fields and food plots. Good luck!

In hunting off of 59 about 6 miles away from Saint Jo. Have alot of does coming in every day all day. Had 5 yesterday about 10am come in as I was climbing out of the stand. Have a couple of small bucks that show up about every other day. Nothing special showing its self. But I figure when rut starts there will be some bucks following all the does.

I hunt south of Saint Jo and I have lots of deer hitting my feeders. I tooka big spike Tuesday. Passed a big young 8 opening morning

I hunt just south of Nocona. We have been slow lately. This rain should help with the ponds and water sources on the property. We have only seen one shooter buck this year. Hopefully more will show up for the rut.

Lots of does and fawns, small 8 and thats all.

We hunt off Catholic Cemetary rd. Seen some average bucks plenty of doe no giants yet.

Hunted Sunday morning, spooked some deer off the wheat fields on the way to our stands, didn't see anything after that, bright as daylight! One thing different this year, deer appear to be hitting the wheat fields and feeders a lot more.

Right now the oil companies are all over my place and everything is nocturnal. Due to the rains, I actually got to plant some food plots last Friday. I'm trying oats this year but mixed corn about 1:3. Curious about what will happen. I scratched around some yesterday and both are germinating. More than likely the hogs will get them.

Very few yearlings on my cams so I expect there was a low fawn survival. The deer look like they are in decent shape but not great.

Also, due to finally getting rain(6 inches at my place) I'm seeing a lot of wild rye coming up and other weeds and forbs. That ought to help them make it through the winter.

Changed my game plan. Since I was the only one with any water, I figured to hunt my tank. Heck, there is now plenty of water.

We've had alot of action at the feeders this year so far. Not many shooter bucks yet. When does the rut typically hit in Montague County? 1st part of November?

About then. I have seen a couple of yearlings without Mama. However, a neighbor just sent me a pic from last Friday showing 4 bucks at a feeder.

Well Friday evening I had a yearling come in without mama but saturday evening I had a mama with twin yearlings come in. Had that doe been by herself she probably would have had a Montec through her!

I got some nice deer paterned and no bow hunters. Thinking about shooting one myself. I guess I shouldnt, but its hard not to. More pigs than ive ever seen.

Blake, do you think there are more hogs or just more hog damage? For the fist time, there are tearing up my bluestem. That hasn't happened in the past and makes me more aware of them.

Hunted Saturday evening, no signs of the rut starting, yet. Have 5 bucks on camera at one feeder, no chasing and very few rubs. My oldest boy had 2 bucks at his feeder, getting along quite well together. My brother has pictures of a very large scrape opened up about a week ago with 9 different bucks visiting it in a week. I think we're still a couple of weeks away from the rut. Always have the young 'uns starting to chase before it really gets started but haven't seen that yet.

I hunted every morning and evening all last week. No signs of rut yet at my place. All the does still followed in by there young. No scrapes, and no bucks.

I hunted last night and saw a few does, but no signs of chasing at my lease yet. We hunt just north of Nocona. I think the cold front coming in late next week may get things going... At least I hope so.
