Hot and muggy here with fog after 7:15 this morning but the deer moved well very early. I saw 5 doe, 3 fawns and 9 bucks with a lot of deer in before daylight so some could have left earlier. Only one buck was 4-5 yrs old and the rest were younger. Feeder went off at 7:15(I reset it two days ago 10 minutes later) and that spooked most of the deer off. Some came back and ate corn till almost 9. Winds were N/NW/NE and swirling to the E/SE at times.

Same here, little activity, did miss opportunity on a decent sized coyote, barely light enough, I thought it was a deer, then it moved and I could tell it was a dog, few deer.

Got about three hours of sleep due to work. Got to the blind with hunting buddy at 6:30 while it was raining. 7:00 - BIL and his son showed up. Fell asleep and woke up around 8:00 and still raining. Waited until about 9 and another wave of rain came in. Called it for the morning. Not a great day of hunting in Canton.

Deer move in the rain. You slept through 2 of the best hours.





Getting a little afternoon movement. 2 does came through a bit ago, 15min apart.

I was at the blind with three others when I passed out. Nothing came to the feeder. This is my first true deer season to hunt. During the rain is the best time to be by the feeder?

Just talked to the guide for my area and he said 2 illegal bucks brought in this morning on Ft Hood

Not necessarily the best time, but they certainly move in the rain too. If it's a massive downpour, not so much though.

Sat in my tripod this morning. Absolutely nothing moving. The only thing I saw today was a Great Horned Owl that landed in the same tree my tripod is backed up into. He was pretty cool.

Should be a good evening. No rain, overcast, cooler temps in western Navarro county. I rattled in a nice shooter yesterday morning and a young buck later on. Rattled in 2 bucks yesterday evening. The shooter never came in any closer to 52 yards. Little out of my bow range for a mature alert deer. Cross my fingers he'll be back this evening. I traded the bow for the 30-06.

I saw about twenty deer from 6:30am to 11:00am. Had my cross hairs on a real nice 8 at 10:10am, waiting on him to turn broadside. Then he went on alert. A few seconds later about 30 pigs came running his direction from behind my stand. They ran right past him in the cover and he bolted. You Gotta Be Kidding Me! No shot taken...

Light wind and rain here in Gregg Co. Six doe so far today, made a clean miss on one at 9am. Back at it till dark, no movement yet.

Crappy picture but rattled in this young 8 around 4pm. He came in on a sprint it was fun to see. Hope I can get a big boy to do it next.

Had a big boar hog come to the feeder just before it went off. Debated shooting vs educating the deer. Feeder went off and he split before I decided.

Pretty sure I saw a bald eagle land out in a tree a few hundred yards away. Light was fading but that has to be was it was.

Got out this morning from Odark til 11. Saw a doe with twin yearlings, a good sized spike, 5pt, 8 pt and 10 pt. The 10 pt had a real high rack but was right on the edge 13". I would have shot the spike as he had 10" spikes and was a good sized deer, not a yearling, but didn't get on him in time. He walked straight across the food plot 30 yards from me and by the time I got the rifle up and on him he was stepping into the tree line. Hopefully I see him again. Didn't get to go this afternoon. Will back back out there tomorrow though.

Got in the stand at about 3:40, 6 point just shy of 13" ran 2 does around at 3:45pm, he came through a few times, then had a few more does hit the oats about 6p. Sounded like anyone that had ammo was using it for target practice..

Funny, in my neck of the woods I didn't hear a single shot. Not the usual opening day.

Not much activity this afternoon. One 9pt. might have made AR's but he was too young. Missed a huge coyote at 182 yards. Bunch of goofballs a couple of properties over played their "thump-thump" music all afternoon. Forecast says 70% chance of rain tomorrow. Might be a washout in the morning. Heard 3 shots all day.

Same here this morning, only heard 2 distant shots, but starting around noon, good lawd.

Some times it's cool to see what is gonna happen next...

Skillet head went in the cooler just at last light, same one I whiffed on this morning. Had a total of 4 does and a legal but young 8pt. this evening. Good luck y'all!

Deer are on their feet. Two illegal 6pt bucks in the last half hour, one has a broken leg. Not a doe in sight.

They sure are! Saw movement at the crack of dawn, then nothing until a short rain about 9:30. I was texting with Bigpig about 3 under my stand when I saw a coyote coming towards the deer and my blind, busted his butt, old male. putting the photo also in the photo section.

I saw the first buck yesterday morning and the second later that evening at 6:30 when he came in chasing a doe. The last pics is a buck I saw after all the other deer had left later this morning. Yesterday they moved early and this morning they moved well from daylight then up to after 8.

I got out this morning and only saw a hog. Killed it dead.

Does, does, and more does. Saw probably 20, but no bucks. Decided not to shoot. Plenty of time.
