Anybody hunt in Jayton Area? (Kent County)I was seeing how healthy the deer and turkeys look this year?

I hunt Kent County East of Clairmont. Deer look really good. I don't know how due to the dry weather for the past two years, but they are actually looking well. We have seen several nice bucks, and they all look to be fairly healthy.

Jphillips, I'm also east of clairmont. Where do you hunt?

mesquite grove ranch. about two miles past Clairmont on the south side. We have about 25 or so sections. Good country. Where is your place?

Believe it or not on my place in Jayton they alll were pretty healthy last year...considering the dry weather n all...

My dad has a single pature leased on the Mesquite Grove Ranch on the southern part of the ranch along the river. I hunt a small place on down the county road about 6 or so miles. Deer are looking pretty good this year from what I have seen. I just hope they don't bust their racks up early like they did last season. But, with the dry conditions, I expect them to be fragile again.

Yep I have taken sum with the tips busted off and scare'd up they must do alot of fighting around there.I hope the hogs dont come in and take everything over ....

Lots of fighting for sure...Northeast of Jayton,croton breaks area,deer look good.

Here's My Ten Point from Jayton which should have been a 11 Point but he broke off a Kicker and a tip of a G...

You don't have hogs bad yet? We battle them constantly. The extra 50 acre block we picked up last year started off with no hogs and by the end of the season we were setting traps trying to catch them. Would come in and own every one of our feeders. My dad killed the first hog ever taken off of the Mesquite Grove Ranch back in the mid 90s and I killed the second the same year. Now they are everywhere.

the deer are looking good this year. the hogs are running in larger groups than i have ever seen.
the new watering system that i installed has turned into a critter magnet. i built a pig-pipe and it is empty every time i check it. there are an average amount of dove but not as many as a couple of years ago. turkey are plentiful and even saw a few covies of quail. i've never seen a mulie on this place but ive heard they are in the area. i did see a javalina that nobody on the lease has heard of. i hope he's not a scout.

Funny you say javalina. On our place just to the east of there i had a group i could not keep out of my traps. I spoke to the game warden and he said there were none in the area and i must be catching small pigs. Then i proved it to him with a pic. He had never seen them or heard of them around. Guess they are moving in then....

Dickens Kent Co. line just off 208. The hogs are running off the deer on my place.
