I'm between mullin and goldthwaite and they are starting to get in full swing. Two weeks ago they were sort of pre-rut.

I'm hunting between Early and Zephyer and we are overloaded with does/fawns and a few small bucks. Seen a few shooter bucks but haven't seen them really chasing yet. Heading down Friday morning and hoping it is in full swing by then!

Our wheat fields didn't get planted this year, but neither did any of the surrounding properties. We did have some of last year's start growing though. Where you hunting at? I'm south of Cross Plains east of Hwy 279.

North Brown County/South Comanche County. Big bucks have been wandering and checking does since Halloween weekend. Does are shying away from feeders since about the same time because young bucks pestering them. Sunday AM hunt had an extremely nice 4-5 year old high 130ish eight pointer that I had not seen previously come in trailing a doe and then took off full blown dogging another doe that popped out. He never got within bow range but he was definitely a shooter that had not been in that area. I can’t wait to get back in my sets this weekend to see where we are…and what shows up.

I am located between May and Blanket. Movement in the area has picked up considerably over the last couple of days. It should be a good weekend with a great deal of activity.

I posted this on the Comanche County post: They are rutting in Brown County. Saw 2 different bucks working does today. One had a doe penned up next to the fence behind the house and one was cutting a doe in a grain field tonight. Blanket area.

Too many family type will be at farm so maybe catch you another weekend. Just got back today, no eating at feeder by the deer either they are the chased or the one chasing. Lots of movement last few days.

Saw the biggest buck of my life tonight. I was sitting in a stand watching 360 degrees around and see a tiny little sixer run out, so small that I thought he was a doe at first. I watch him for a minute through my binocs on our neighbors place (No, NOBODY hunts there so don't start with the fence line crap). Next thing I know walks out a buck about the size of a calf. All I could see was the body for a couple minutes and then he stepped out for a split second. All I could count was ten. Then the little boy made the mistake of running up on him and it wasn't pretty! Needless to say I am still dumbfounded and could care less what happens all year, that was awesome!! And I think it's safe to say guys, ruts here!
