Sitting here watching a 15 pointer, an 8 pointer and two does munching on corn. The two guys don't seem too interested in the gals. Hoping my target buck shows up.
I just looked outside the house, 14 deer grazing wheat. 3 bucks from a 140”+ down to probably two 120” deer and 11 doe, they all will get a pass this year as usual.
Yesterday, I had at least a dozen does in rifle range. I figured I'd pop a couple does this morning and hunt horns the rest of the year. So far I've seen 2 small 8's, a 6, and a spike.
Sounds like the does got the memo
They sure did! Next weekend it will be me and the boy. He's been absolutely deadly the last few years. We've only got a few weeks to get our does, so we'll be targeting does. If recent history repeats, we'll tag our does and hint bucks the rest of the year.
Got her with a crossbow on public land yesterday evening. Now to find the buck that made the rub in the background. Have 2 good 8 points on camera in this area
Live update, missed hunting this morning. Waiting for Auto Parts house to open, looks like alternator on my old 97 Tahoe hunting buggy went. Light flashing, 14 volts to 12 which look like alternator to me.
Was pissed at first but it’s life, things break. Not like I’ve never got to hunt before. Fuel pump went out on 4wheeler went out again, have a new one in the box. Just changed it two weeks back. Better fix the 4 wheeler too. If I hustle can get both fixed and hunt this afternoon.
Had to move the last of my things for South Texas to my new place. That took all day yesterday to drive down and back. Got home at dark last night to a low tire on my trailer, Unpacked the trailer last night after dark. This morning I have to take off the low tire and put the spare on. Then take my trailer back down to my place in Gillespie County. I will be in the blind this afternoon...only guiding though.
Thanks guys..first time in I don't know when haven't been on a lease..hunting the Brazos ..just setting..no feeders..gonna try rattlin in the morning
Are you floating the brazos? Hunting public waterway?
Hunting in the riverbed..this time of year lots of dry spots inside the riverbed..hunting behind brush One interesting thing I did..a hunter that was hunting the same area..was with his 9 year old daughter ..she shot a cull small spike..and couldn't find it..well I happened to have my drone in my truck..walked the 1/2 mile back to the truck..left my rifle in the truck..flew my drone in the area she shot her deer..and lo and behold found him in the water..on the other side .dead as a doornail..water was only 2 feet deep..so I help father drag him back to the other side...score one for drone recivery
In the blind by 6:30 and expected to see 7 or 8 doe and hopeful of a nice buck. Was not to be, stayed in the blind until 10:00. Later camera showed deer at 10:30. Afternoon a 4 pointer and a nervous doe only. Sunday morning 2 bucks in pen around 6:30, still dark could not see very well. Eventually took a 8 pointer. One of the other hunters took an 8 Saturday and both deer were much heavier than deer of the past. Maybe those rains we got in the spring really made a difference.
