This is our third year hunting 425 acres in W. Llano Co, Castell area. After holding off on and not shooting promising bucks the first couple years, we are finally getting some age structure. This year I have four 4.5yos on camera and three 5.5yos. Somehow they have found a way to make it thru each season.
As said before, you will rarely catch these bucks at feeders in daylight outside of the rut. They "get smart" right about the time they shed their velvet, and will go nocturnal if they come to feeders at all.
We have a Wildlife Management Association going in Castell, and we are working hard to get as many ranches as possible participating. So far, we have more that 10,000 acres working on managing to WMA guidelines. The WMA and Hunter participation is the key to growing big bucks year after year. If anybody hunts in the area and wants info, shoot me a pm.

You will get a kick out of this..I got flagged down last weekend by a couple guys. They wanted to let me know there was a steer out walking on the road, and wanted me to put him up... I said ok but he has about 40 more with him. Let him know I'd slow down when you drive over a cattle gaurd

I don't doubt there is big deer in llano, but I bet like all other stories there is some slight exaggeration going on here. 10-12 huge bucks on the side of the road in one trip???
Heck some neighbors of my parents have a typical 14 they have seen a couple times in Guadalupe Co. just down the road but that don't make it common place.

Yes,, it was Robert Moseley's place. We have been hunting there since '99. We always managed to do well. Not always gonna kill em around the feeders. But, if you are willing to hustle,, there are nice bucks to be had. Any info on the hunting this year in that area. Acorns ?? Are they coming to corn yet ? I appreciate the help

Acorns are just about gone. But, it is as green as spring out there and the rut has kicked. For the most part the bucks could care less about corn for now.

Heck some neighbors of my parents have a typical 14 they have seen a couple times in Guadalupe Co. just down the road but that don't make it common place. Depends on definition of huge. Lots of big ranches and a ton of small ranchettes. if ranchettes aren't hunted, the tend to hold great deer, probably do to pressure pushing them there
