I'm on the border, and usually mid December it starts but non of the bucks I saw showed signs.

Comstock got into the mid-20s last night I'm guessing this is going to kill off anything and everything green. Last two weeks of the season hopefully the deer will start coming to the feeders.

Anyone been out lately? Or heading out this weekend? Need a report, gonna head out late Monday. Just wondering what y'all are seeing?

I got back from there Thursday. The bucks were still chasing does when we left. A lot of the better bucks we had were busted up from fighting. They are coming to the feeders for a quick bite, then they go back on the chase . My son got a nice 8 pt Tuesday evening. Lots of fox around, bring a call for some fun.

Good to here, thanks for tho info. Gonna head out tomorrow night. I'm hoping my dad can get on something good.

Heading down on the 2nd just wondering how the rut is going we are hunting near lake amistad?

Got back yesterday. Didn't see any bucks, but my dad shot himself a doe, and we got out of there. The rut should be coming to an end soon.

They were still a bit interested 2 weeks ago...took a nice buck on the 19th...

505ed, where abouts do you hunt?

Trackman I just realized the 2nd is too late for a buck. The season ends Sunday. Doe and spike season goes till the 14th or so.

I'm hunting on the other side of the lake! Season is a little longer to the south!

I thought that dividing line was on the east side of Del Rio. I tried to find that map but I couldn't. If you find that map can you please post it or a link to it please. We hunt south of 90 but West of Lake Amistad.

I meant south of the lake and del rio in old MX.

Oh yeah that's way different. Report back to us and let us know how it goes I've always wanted to hunt Old Mexico. Might need to get some info from you.

How many of y'all ended up with some feeder pets. I have a few that could care less if they see you walk up and get in the deer stand. One of them looked like he was going to guard the feeder when I drove up.

One more question, About mid November our cell phone service all but disappeared. We hunt west of the intersection of 189 and 163. Did any of you in that area have the same problem or any idea what might have caused this?

Going toward Dryden...

I hunt pretty close to you. Do you lease from Wilson-Hodges? Our cell service became very limited as well.. very strange. I've hunted out there for 5 years, and this was the first time it got bad.

Overall a slow year for us. We took 6 bucks total. A couple decent bucks, a couple culls, and a really nice middle aged 8 point that I wish wouldn't have been shot, but we have at least one mistake every year. Two of the bucks that were killed had never showed up on game cameras.

I had at least 20 shooter bucks on camera between August and Christmas that we were targeting That never hit the ground. My hunters are being more selective, which I like, but I am still somewhat disappointed. I am looking forward to a year where we can get several good bucks off of our place. We had a lot of good middle aged bucks on the place this year, and I think we will have a lot more shooters going forward. I think that next year we will be fully recovered from the drought and we will see several good years in a row. Gets me excited to keep on keeping on in the Juno Country.

Here's the middle aged 8 (I think he was 3.5, and a mature cull that were taken in December.

Nice, it was slow for us. They just didn't come to the feeders this year. No doubt there are more deer out there then has been in many years. Next couple of years should be good.

I had all these on camera and they are all still alive as far as I know. Several of them disappeared once season started. A little frustrating really. I had 21 bucks on the hit list from game cam pics and we did not take out a single one of them. Maybe a good thing that they are still there?

Y'all got any to look forward to next year?

Damn! Not a one taken this year?

Overall a few good ones to see next year



I badly want to get rid of this buck. He's super skittish

Not a single one of them was taken. A few deer were killed but not a single one from the "hit list".

I think a few of them were passed on, but I'm not 100% sure.

I think a lot of it had to do with the weather.
