Nothing moving in fannin county. Hot for sure. Maybe this evening.

Whitewing maniac got a doe this morning, only shot so far.

One spike, one doe this morning in Lee county. Heading out now for evening hunt.

Two bucks seen here in Throckmorton Co. this morning during a light south breeze and about 65 degrees. One of those bucks is hanging at Escalon's in Throckmorton...five or six year old basket buck, but he'll look good in the freezer. Got much warmer and wind picked up, but hunting partner saw a fat doe at his feeder. Not a bad oening day.

Checking back in from Cherokee in San Saba county, hot and breezy, wore shorts & t shirt to blind this afternoon. I had a 1.5yr old spike in the pen eating corn from 0850-950 only deer I seen. Lease member shot a 1.5yr old 4 pt , another saw 2 spikes and the last guy saw 3 pigs, 3 doe and a 4pt & 6pt.

67 and cloudy in Tom Green county this am. Saw a 6, two eights, one ten, and one eleven point. Back in the stand now and lordy its hot, 91. Only wasps so far.

Madison county this afternoon, sweating and watching a swarm of wasps and yellow jackets fly around and through the stand! I killed all these guys and knocked nests down weeks ago!

I didn't hunt, but saw a few decent bucks early in Eastern Young county while I was checking on my cattle. A couple of them seemed to be interested in the doe's.

Llano county... Hot, humid, full moon in effect, lots of acorns still on the ground. Nothing moving. Good news is I might lose a few pounds sitting in this pop up blind sauna.

Fayette County:
Killed a big boar last night.
Buck down this morning!
Hopefully one of the spikes shows up tonight.

Decent morning in Taylor county. I only saw one pig, couldn’t get a clean shot before he walked off. That blind is always a little slow though. My brother saw a doe and fawn, then a little buck, then a bunch of pigs. Shot 2 of the pigs. It’s too damn hot now. Got back to the blind and it was covered with wasps. Didn’t want to hunt bad enough to deal with them and the heat. Back at camp now.

Coke county, 66, this morning, 92, this afternoon. Saw quite a few this morning, 10 bucks and 4 does. Not a single shooter among them this morning. Right now I've got/had three small bucks at one of my feeders while nothing at the other one. Also this morning I had 16 Gobblers at my feeders. If they are here the next time I come the biggest will be on the Thanksgiving table this year.

Also we only heard a couple of shots this morning.

Live Oak. Watched a buck with tree trunks for brows this morning. He was a clean ten last year, but has all sorts of craziness this year. I think we underaged him last year. Looks to be on the way down. Cool deer though.

Nice buck. Around here that deer is a shooter.

Haven't heard any shots today. Back in the stand now enjoying an adult beverage. Not more than 20 deer brought into Kenny Fred's processing today. Not expecting too much this evening. That's OK. I'll be here all week

In the stand in Navarro county. 11 does and fawns off to my left in the wheat. Eight point under the feeder. Just not the right 8 point.

He's a shooter. Just not for me. Not on opening morning anyway.

DeWitt County ~ Worked outside in the pasture, didn't see anything and it was a scorcher again. When I came back to the house at 1pm, my 3YO 8pt was waiting for me. I fed him some corn and told him to hang close to the house but I don't think he listens to me.

The thermometer said 92°at 5pm, no wind. I'm pretty sure the soles of my boots have melted. Five tom turkeys at the lake, that's it.

Oh, still haven't heard a shot today. That has never happened on an opening day. Sure enough, my buck listened. Waiting for me in the driveway. Just fed him again.

Saw a total of 12 deer, 2 spikes that I know of the rest doe and fawns

Very cool looking buck

Stephens county - hottest opener ever, and not the good kind. Saturday morning Saw 6 doe, one of them was hot and had bucks chasing her hard. One buck was a nice 8 but wasn't a shooter. Didn't go out that afternoon, 93 degrees... The deer are close though. Should be some good action next weekend.

No way in hell. I delivered some firewood. Haha in 80 somethin 50 somethin winds

Somervell County. Long spike shot 1015am Saturday. Also saw a couple of non-shooter 8 points. Sunday morning 4 doe and 1 nice 9 point that I let walk at 915am.

DeWitt County ~ not a single shot heard all weekend. I started hunting in this county in 1969, and I can tell you that is a first.

About 10 o'clock last night, I did step out on my porch in my skivvies and shot a hog. A sounder of 15!
