Had lots of action today. Bucks were chasing and a little sparring. Heard around 8 shots this am and 2 in pm. Hope the wind doesn't get too out of hand tomorrow.

I have been so disappointed morning hunting
I think I will just do evening hunts this week and see what I can stir up.

Lots of deer but all little bucks running. Killed 5 pigs so the dead pile is growing!

I'm right on the border of taylor and runnels county. Went out opening morning. Figured I'd go ahead and give rattling a chance. No luck. Nothing at the feeder but my buddy saw some does roaming in the wheat field. Aren't getting many deer at all at the feeder, interested in other buffets I guess. Went out yesterday evening and sat under a tree, saw a group of 8 does, no bucks all weekend. Movement was there, just not in the right places.

Too muddy to get anything done on the ranch so I'm in a blind this morning. Started coming down harder ever since I made it to the blind.

Got one doe one yearling and 5 toms. I'm not much on turkey but one of these looks like a horse tail hanging off his neck.

Gonna try an evening hunt I have not been out since the big rain

Under the corn feeder was tore up big time

The PVC feeder for protein was empty so I topped it off and jumped in the blind

Nice breeze from the NE
Right in my face

My neighbors feeder just went off and it's empty

Deer have been moving. Next week looks like new moon phase+cold front/ possible freeze+ pre rut activities= me missing some work. Goodluck this eve. I'll leave my generator off a Lil longer for you.

I went out last night and glassed two sets of bucks going at it. They fought for at least 30 minutes. Ive also already been seeing quite a few broken bucks so I'm thinking the rut is almost in full swing.

I shot a nice big doe about 5:30 yesterday. I was by myself so it took some work getting her loaded, field dressed and headed to the processor.
There was a small group that has been coming in and I have been watching this big grey mature doe so I took her for some freezer meat. I will lay off for a few days because I want to hunt the cold weather next week

I had 6 doe, small 8, small 3 and a nice male bobcat come threw. I should have a good tc pic of cat.... not sure why I let him walk but was cool to see him check things out. He went straight for code red on cotton hanger off of 600 lbs all season stand and fill. He also rolled around in a Sandy area 80 yds in front of me.

Anybody hunting this morning? I'm going this afternoon, but looking forward to the weather coming Monday night. Last year I started seeing mature bucks chasing on November 10th. Should be great hunting next week. Probably won't hunt tomorrow or Monday, but plan on spending the rest of the week in the woods. Good luck fellas

Can't wait to head out early next week. Opening weekend, all the does still had fawns tagging along. Only one buck and he needs to walk another 2 or 3 years.


coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc. I don't give eeffoc until I have my morning coffee.

I had several doe and a few milk bucks early this morning. Bobcat came threw late this morning and I ended up shooting him. Just got back from Allens taxidermy to get a full mount.

I got lots of deer moving but still haven't saw any mature bucks during light. Unless a random buck shows I only have two other older buck worth shooting. I'm hoping some of the bucks I had in October return these next few weeks.

Can't wait to see how much rain fell on the ranch. We didn't hunt Saturday evening, opening weekend to scoop out 2 feet of silt in a dried out pond. Hopefully it has water in it now.

Saw lots of deer. Had a nice new buck show up finally. He showed up a little after some light rattling. It was getting dark and I spent too long trying to figure out who he was to shoot. him and another younger buck were deff interested in at least one doe. Should get good week. Goodluck gentleman.

Only seen 1 deer this evening. A 3.5 year old 8 that was limping pretty bad. Looked like during a fight, another buck hooked him under his right front leg. His hocks were stained dark black and he didn't hang around long. I'll be back at it in the morning....

I had one of my shooter bucks come in yesterday and eat for 40 min. He wasn't as old or as big as I thought from pics. He could be really nice in a year or two. I'm heading to my lease up north soon as I'm cought up at work.
