Many hours logged in the blind so far and only had the kids take 1 doe each... Still hunting for a buck... Who else is still at it? May have to be content with hog hunting till next year..! Maybe two more hunts for me. Never stop hunting.

I'll still be at it at the lease this weekend and over the holiday breaks. Got a nice 11pt with a gun and a doe with a bow so far and put my lil cousin on a doe. Still have a few culls that need to be put down, plus I'm planning on taking kwrhuntinglab out sometime before the end of season... if he ever calls.
Also really need to take a cull at my buddy's ranch or I won't be invited back to hunt there next year.

I am still at it a couple times a week. Just like getting out in the evening. Not many morning hunts. The colder weather seems to have stirred the pigs up some.

Not done yet! My best luck has always been late in the season. Plus need some more meat. Heading out for three days before Christmas weekend and then three days after Christmas. Good luck to all!

shot a lost black buck but have all my tags and state mgmt permits still and plan to fill all the ones I am required to harvest but still holding out for a trophy..GOT SOME MOTIVATION YESTERDAY, on the way out to a short two day goose hunt I spotted the best buck I have ever seen about fifty yards off the road....Despite EXTREME DROUGHT and well into the season, I spotted a 160s class heavy horned beautiful buck with a split drop tine....TRUELY UNBELIEVABLE! ..................Headed south to the ranch for the rest of the week now.

Already put up a buck & a doe. I was holding off so my wife could get a little trigger time, but she had hand surgery on Nov 28th and it's still pretty sore....it's her trigger hand. May go back up just after CHRISTMAS and put one more in the freezer for one of my friends who is disabled.

I'm pretty much through myself. Only have two doe tags left, one doe down, two bucks down.
Going to try and go back but only take my recurve with me.

Still hunting 3 days a week and haven't pulled the trigger just yet. I have seen plenty but nothing I really was satisfied with - will be out until the end of the year.

We are just getting rolling in S TX. Rut hasn't even really fired yet. Our best hunting is usually Christmas to the end of the season (mid Jan). It's just been preseason so far.

You have to take a deer so you'll be invited back... the breaks some people get! I wish I had your problem. Good luck I know it sounds great but it's pretty depressing to go on a hunt and see really nice bucks in the 150+ range and have to wait for a dink. For instance... last year I watched this guy chilling under the feeder broadside at 100 yards on two evenings.   ...and was told to shoot this because he was a main-frame 8  The ranch will be HF in the next couple years and I have to do my part for management.

Took a buck already, but still looking for a spike on my place to finish out the year. I'll likely make it out once more before the season ends...

Its always nice getting out. Hoping that a big guy shows up. Maybe that big one is going to show up at the end of hunt. Didn't see squat last year until literally the last 5 minutes of my season and took a nice buck who was never captured on camera before..Plenty of young bucks and does.. What would be management bucks are not eligible due to AR... Just makes your heart pump that much more to see something special

got my big buck for the year and a few hogs already but will be going out Sat - Tue
hope to get my 7 year old his first deer and the 14 year old a deer
also on the menu are pigs and coyotes we will be setting up a remote coyote caller and have my dad out, he doesn't care anymore about shooting deer but he really wants to test some Barnes Varmint Grenades out of his 22-250
Spending time in the woods with the family and away from modern life is so crucial to me staying sane working high tech for a living!
