Saw young one's running weekend before and during the week of Thanksgiving. There was one 3 year old 8 who was running hard he was the biggest we saw. Does still had their yearlings but there was a couple of hot does. Neighbors say Dec 6 through the 23rd is magic time. We are off of blue hills road so if anyone else is out that way pm me and come by for a cold beverage and good luck.

If ducks had horns I'd probably be a duck hunter. I am a horrible deer hunter. Probably the worst. Ever.

did you get this one today? Those are two different deer. I didn't shoot either of them. A couple of my hunters did last weekend.

Hunters in our camp have reported lots of deer activity, with an occasional quick sighting of a mature buck cruising. Mainly young bucks chasing. I bet this cold front throws them into full blown rut. Next couple weeks should be interesting. I probably won't make it down myself until the 20th.
If ducks had horns I'd probably be a duck hunter. I am a horrible deer hunter. Probably the worst. Ever.

We're headed down tomorrow, well later to day that's what I get for not being able to sleep, and I hope they're moving. My wife got a nice 10 point 2 weeks ago when we were down there.
S.A. Hunter I have to be back home Monday morning for life support AKA the dialysis machine so if I don't get online this weekend I'll try and get on then and give you a report.

Cibolo, when are you coming back? Need a report. We got in about 6 last night. We came in from Ozona and from the time we hit the county line until we hit Blue Hills RD. off 1024 they were all over the road. Unfortunately the only close encounter we've had with wildlife since we got here was the dogs finding a skunk. I don't think they appreciated spending last night outside but that was at 9:00 last night and it was to cold to bathe them. We saw several fawns this morning but nothing older of either sex. My wife went out by herself this afternoon because I try to let her go out at least once per trip without having to tell me what she sees or where to aim so I'll update this with what she does or doesn't see later.

Good to hear, thanks for the report. I hope you do well this weekend. I took 90 all the way to Del Rio, and back. I saw quite a few doe dead on the side of the road. Things are starting to move for sure.

We hunt just across the county line on the east side of 163. We saw a lot of chasing on Friday and Saturday but it has slowed down since the weather change. We have seen some good bucks but no real mature wall hanger.
I would rather be hunting with my dogs than doing anything else on God's green earth.

Cold front blowing in this weekend. Going to be pretty chilly for a few days. There will be some good bucks killed down there between now and Christmas.

We'll we just got back, my son connected with a broke up 8 pointer. Saw some young bucks, and an old doe. I was gonna take the old doe but she was on to us. She didn't give me a shot, and quickly left. Guess she was old for a reason. On the way back my son and I took the long way home out of Del Rio. On our way up 377 we saw a lot of doe on the road both dead and alive. I was surprised since it was only 1:30pm. Seems like they are moving a bit more now.

We saw a ton last week but just not the one. Past on a lot of 3-4 year old 10's but showed good judgment to let them live. Took 10 doe and hope to make it out next week.

I forgot to mention I don't think the rut has kicked off yet. I saw no signs of it.
