Passed on a nice buck that I may be sorry I did. Still got a few more weeks to go.
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Freezers are pretty much full, but I'm waiting on a sample of jalapeno-cheddar link and reg summer sausage from Hamilton. If I like the products I'll take them a deer or two in January.

2 doe whitetail in the freezer and a nice, young 12 pt in the freezer as well as a fallow doe. Still have two more tags to finish out then I can start picking up a couple or three axis does.

I dropped a spike opening weekend, haven't seen another deer during hunting hours! Seen plenty on the way out at night...

Still have all my tags and meat in the freezer, saw a very nice buck last 5 minutes of shooting hours opening weekend and didn't have a good shot. He went nocturnal, saw him on cams many times around midnight. Started seeing him on cams mid day a couple days ago so plan to hunt him end of season and/or ML season.

I shot a management buck 10 min into the season on opening day on a invite hunt. Not exciting not one I would count.
I zero’d in two out of state hunts and in west Texas.
My goal is to shank a axis or whitetail with my bow before season ends.
If that fails ill have to wait until July until I do some hunting
Kids have kept the freezer full so we arnt in a meat crisis but could use another deer at least.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I dropped my 18 YO daughter off at 2:30 to hunt on her own for the first time, she knows the buck we are targeting and also knows this time of year there could be a good deer come out we haven’t seen before. She has a lot of experience and has taken three mature deer and a couple of culls in the years past, but this is the first time she felt comfortable hunting on her own, i will post pictures on a separate thread if she connects on something.

Just the 10 pointer my son shot opening weekend at our place. Between work and baseball I only got to sit twice during the rut. The one I was after didn't make an appearance except on the days I was at work! Just had this new one show up missing his entire right side! Other than that I've let a few family members shoot a couple of doe.

Shot a spike about a week ago, missed out on a big one that got spooked by birds and zipped by my blind. Damned birds
