Well, what do you do after getting your big buck? I can still get a spike, and only have the 4 days after thanksgiving to get a doe. So, what drives you to get out there after getting your buck?

Do most of yall continue hunting after getting your buck or are you mostly done for the season? I'll be going out with my camera but havent been back out after taking my buck yet. If you continue hunting, is it mainly just to watch, try hard to put a spike in the freezer, or what?

After I get mine, I take guests to get culls and does.

I rejoice!

take kiddos and wife for spike or does.

I start planning other options for shooting another one. I've got 2 bucks down (one out of state) and would really like to go for 4-5 total without a spike being part of that total.

Get to work on the millions of hogs on the lease.

Kill all PIGS!

Turkeys. Coyotes.

DUCKS

X2 or doe bow killing

Get Drunk???

I got my buck last Sunday. I'll be back out there Saturday hunting.I won't take a doe until after the rut. I hope to see some hogs.

Go to another county and get another

Then start to go after the hogs or varmints and a doe to fill the freezer just try to stay in the woods while I can.

y use a bow?

Gets tha blood pumpin like no other when you draw on anything...

Why not?

I goto a different county and hunt. You can shoot another
Buck

Other than that, I shoot spikes and does. I refuse to hunt east Texas because of the stupid doe rule. Thanksgiving to Sunday. They should make it one doe all seasons combined without that four day rule.

Other than that I go duck hunting or turkey hunting

Myself, I am going to try and rattle up some bucks to take pictures of. If I have luck rattling then I have just added a new method for future hunts. I have always been reluctant to do this for fear I would actually scare something off. Now, that is not a worry.

I burn a steak and mix up a Makers on the rocks !

I got mine opening day this year but I have still been hitting it. Staying after the hogs and varmints. If a nice buck steps out like this morning I just enjoy watching them and trying to take pics through my scope.

For years I shot a buck and never went back to the woods until next season. Now I hunt nearly every single weekend and watch/video the deer, see what bucks are on the place, and shoot a doe or two Thanksgiving weekend. This helps me plan for next season. None of the three big bucks that I have shot over the past 6 years ever came to my deer feeder or near the trail camera either before, during, or after deer season. It was only by observation and shooting videos that I was able to see these deer. Each hunt is a learning experience.

Use that camera and spare time to scout for next season. Be mobile and scout new areas on the ranch you hunt on. Might find a new and better spot to hunt for next year.

Get out every chance you can. Take pictures, kill pigs, take a young kid hunting and let them take a cull, bring the wife and kids which we do every weekend we can (have work this weekend which stinks), pattern the deer, enjoy the sunrise, etc. HUNT.

Make sure your goin to a 2 buck county instead of just another one buck county
