We hunted in west TX, Saturday thru Monday, five of us. Killed total of 3 javelina, one cull 8-point, and one decent 10-point. I didn't hear any shots other than ours. Our canyon flooded at the beginning of October, and this has really changed how/where the deer are traveling. We saw a ton of mule deer(mostly doe), and very few whitetail.. weird!
The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

We had a suprisingly good weekend despite the warm weather, all total saw 13 bucks, took one spike, 20 something doe and two hogs, one of which is in a cooler on ice. Had a buddy shoot at a nice eight on the move, couldn't get him to stop, and missed. Best opening weekend at our place ever. Can't wait to get back up.

LMAO! I used to hunt in Trinity also and it was always like that. We started thinking it was the duck hunters and not deer hunters or so we had hoped!

I was sure hoping it was ducks falling or shots missing, but my land is in a corner of a large timber co. land and I have been on their place a few times off season. I didn't see any sign for ducks to be also its very dry, looks like west texas except for the green trees. Grass is a nasty brown. Scared to have fire. Not sure if leaves are turnig colors from temp and daylight or drought. Maybe with the 40% chance of rain tomorrow, it will get better. Very foggy, but 40's in morning sun, mon. Sat was 60 in morning. I am going to give it another shot this weekend. Love sitting in the woods. Wasps and I do not get along though. Had a few battles with these little jets. They won. Left stand and had a few cold beers. refreshing.
