Good luck man

Heading up there thrusday night to hunt thru thanksgiving. Was up there this past weekend, just south of the collingsworth county line in far north childress county. I agree that is was way to hot and windy. Combine that with a full moon, and it was tough hunting. However, the bucks are starting to get testy and the young-uns are chasing the does. I think the cool weather late this week will kick-start the rut!


I did get this crappy deer out of the gene pool this past friday. Aged at 6.5 at weighed just over 200 lbs live weight.





Good luck to you and your daughter this week BMD! I hope to see you posting about a big one!

Slow morning the moon isn't helping ready for Kacee to get up here they seem to show up big when she is here.

Supposed to snow next week before Thanksgiving. I will be up or over the 22nd thru the 2nd and the weather is looking promising which has not happened in the last couple of years. Good luck.

Thanks for sharing, BMD! I was beginning to think that maybe your stand had blown over with you in it. That would have been a shame since you're one of my best scouts.

The pics are great. Looks like you've got an 8 there that's been roughed up quite a bit. Looks like some blood above the left shoulder. Looks like he may still learn a lesson or two the way he carries himself.

Nice deer, Shag. Great mass! We've got one like that running around that's not quite as heavy. Really wide with nothing on top. Since it's a one buck county, he'll probably die of old age.

next time you have a "crappy" 6.5yo heavy horned brute you want taken out let me know, thats the kind of buck i like. great lookin buck.

good luck guys

Herron and House,

We have the good fortune of being able to kill a nice management buck on our place and still have a shot at a trophy since we are MLD. We all agree on management bucks for the year, and whoever happens to see them gets to shoot them.

This guy frequented my area quite a bit, so the odds were high I would get to shoot him this year. Believe it or not, with his spread, mass and beam length, that buck scored 127. His mass really is great, and I am very proud of him. I don't want it to come across as if I am not.

I am just happy to have his genetics out of the gene-pool since he is lacking in the tine length department.

Nice buck, sorry I couldn't post for couple weeks . I have been here and it is heating up and the weather is turning cold I would recommend being up here this weekend and next if you are a weekend warrior.

Should be perfect timing

I just left childress , some are starting to case it's getting close. Good luck!

Yep it will be in full swing next week just like always!

Why don't you bring Kacee down one night next week? We can sear some steaks or burgers or I'll whip up a pot of chili. We'll be there all week and hopefully find Matt a buck!

I think I got every turkey in Wheeler County at my feeders this morning.I'm ready for this moon phase to change.

Sounds like all are having a fun time. Heading up to King county farm on Saturday for a few days and maybe Clarendon the following week. Probably gonna need plenty of warm clothes ! THE HUNT GOES ON FOREVER............

There are no deer in the panhandle...... how many times must I say it.

But there is good barbecue and chicken fried steak at Dryers in Pampa.........

Dyers has gone downhill. I live here and hardly ever eat there.

Thanks for the update Bulldog ...........will have to find another spot for my trip up later....I usually stay in Groom if not out at the ranch.

will see how it works out gotta see if we can find a buck but will try.

I will be in Cottle Co from the 22nd - 27th. I think I will hit the rut about right...good luck guys.

The weather forcast keeps getting better and better for the next week and a half. This weekend should be fantastic hunting. Cant wait to get out of the office and into the blind.

Will be hunting near Spur this weekend and next Friday thru Monday. Any THFers that would like to meet for a lunch or dinner let me know.

Kacee will be here Friday she is riding up with Mustafa and Muledeer season opens Saturday morning. Should be a great week with her.

Nice calm afternoon but he is eating all my corn had another buck earlier I couldn't get pic of. But good so far.
