Anyone hunting opening weekend for Mule Deer in the Panhandle? Headed up to Briscoe county this weekend. Looks like a strong cold front hits Sunday with temps down in the 20s. Hoping for a good weekend.

It can get cold in the Panhandle. We hunted in Cottle in about 1990. Huge place, never been hunted so we felt pretty special. We were in tents and it got down in the low teens so we didnt feel so special anymore. I believe it was Thanksgiving day and the roads were solid ice going from ETx to Albany where we met most of the guys and then went on up. Actually, maybe Cottle isnt even considered Panhandle. Anyway, enjoy your hunt and good luck.

Good luck! I'm starting a week after ya, down in Presidio county along the rio grande. Doubt I'll have any crazy cold fronts... Ha!

I drove through Briscoe yesterday. 'Saw muleys moving.

Getting My Hopes Up!!

I will be out. Have been scouting the last 2 weekends. Have seen does and yearlings so I'll stake it out and try and glass up the bucks.

Good luck fellas

I'll be out in Hall. Watched a brute for an hour this week. I kept telling him he was LUCKY...

Good luck! Hope you get a good one...

Saturday night/Sunday until noon might actually get some rain too. Maybe it'll get 'em moving around some Sunday afternoon!

Hunting anywhere near the canyons?

I’ll be hunting the canyon and glassing from the ridges. It looks like temps drop to the 30s and rain Sunday so thinking Sun, Mon and Tues are gonna be the best days.

Thank you, sir!

Watched 16 muleys move off my place onto the neighbor's cut cotton field this evening. Mostly does, but had a couple of young bucks in the group. The bigger boys I've seen were still bedded down, I'm sure. Just a few more days.

Would be good if they opened the season around the 10th of December and the big boys would come out to play.

Later than that would be better from what I know, but that may not be much.

Agreed, the season is a little too early but the mulies go dumb as a post in full rut and people would be popping them left and right

Headed to my place north of Amarillo tomorrow morning. Scouted two weeks ago and saw several nice WTs and all MD doe and forkys. I always see the bigger bucks after Thanksgiving. Like others, I wish the season started in December.

BBD in Dickens county this morning. I'll let Sappertitan post pics and story of his big Mulie. He's got his hands full right now cleaning the beast.

Yes he got him a toad.

Looking forward to it. I saw a single forked-horn this morning and not much else.

Ah, I remember my younger days trampling the mountains of Van Horn and Sierra Blanca. Yall have a blast!! Get a big eared buck

So just looking for info here not honey holes. A Texas Muley is on my bucket list. I west Texas mostly private, leased, or guided hunts? I have no idea where to start other than trying to get on a lease and hope it has some muleys. Thanks for any tips.

Bumping this thread with a pic of a Dickens county buck killed Saturday morning on our pasture at the Pitchfork ranch. Sapper Titan killed this 192 3/8 monarch. You don’t have to travel out of state to kill big mulies.....

Thanks Marc. I’m impatiently waiting on an email with a bunch of awesome pics from your camera

Whatevers on that roll of film cant be much better than what youve posted.
