Rarely have less than 10 and as many as 15 in northern Erath County on 120 acres. Less pigs during daylight hours has helped a lot. We have very few acorns this year for some reason. My son`s trees near Stephenville were loaded though. WTH


We are loaded on acorns and pecans. Don't know what drives it but we are different

100acres in Freestone County, the least I've seen in a single hunt this year was 8 deer, most was about 18. The problem we have is, every hunt we see the same deer over and over again. It's a rare instance when a stranger wanders thru.

Blanco County: 5-6 deer per sit, mostly does and immature bucks. 1,900 acres in Round Mountain
Kimble County: 2-3 deer per sit (we also have exotics so this is just whitetail), also mostly does and immature bucks. 2,900 acres near Junction.

We keep records daily of what we see but Ill just go off memory. Several 1000 acres in NW Tx and same in SC Okla. Estimating we see about 10 to 15 a sit. If consistently corning roads at any one particular stand then sightings would go up. If sitting on our 80 ac wheat field we will see from 50 to 150.

Either of my 2 blinds I see maybe 4-10 at a sit. Many times the same ones will come and go and come back, especially the does.

Maybe 1 per sit. East Texas, Henderson County.
The deer don’t really go to feeders. Just have to know the trails they use.

I went back in my records to see how many deer I was able to see per sit on my old place in Goliad County.
2012- 14.35
2013- 14.07
2014- 14.54
2015- 7.70
2016- 11.97
2017- 20.40
2018- 13.13
2019- 11.95
Avg. - 13.51
The dry years was more deer per sit and the wet years/acorn years was less. The average year was about average rainfall and no acorns.

No, it is called part of the requirements to get MLD tags for does in that county and also part of the Wildlife Exemption data needed for county CAD. Pretty simple.

It varies pretty widely depending on stand location, time of year, and conditions, but I'll say ranging from 5-10 up to 30-40. We have a hay field and foot plot that can bring in well over that if you catch it just right.

4-8 every night at my property outside Commerce. Can just about set your watch by them. But they're my "pet" deer.
2-8 per sit at my hunting place in Cumby.
0-2 at my lease in Eastland, but that's more for beer drinking, card playing, family time for the boys.

I can't fathom seeing 30 deer at once. That would be fun, even if all I'm shooting is a camera.

Around 12. Sometimes 20, sometimes 8. Always a good time.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

Depends on which stand.
My stand, 10-12 bucks and 4-6 does & fawns
One of by buddy's stands. 15-20 bucks and 8-12 does & fawns

2200 acres Schleicher County


High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!
