stx----Are these bucks in the photo protein fed as well? They look GREAT for this time of year

Yes. Here is more of the peanut gallery. This is a new buck that showed up.

Here more from my place. Antler growth is from before browtines to past G3s. Deer look good with marginal rainfall so far. I feed about 15lbs per day from 4 timed protein feeders.

Saw a batchelor group of 6 leaving the subdivision this morning. They all had good starts.

Your country looks to be in much better shape than ours at home and the lease out west STXRM.
We are burned up bad

Had these guys show up a couple weeks ago.

I have had about 4.25" total since Jan 1st this year. Of that total.....about 3.25" has fallen since April 26th in 3 different showers. The last rain was .93" on June 7th. Had it not been for those 3 rains we would be in very bad shape.

Ozona Tx

I think this was one of the two I was after last year. Hopefully he can get a little more tine length since he's getting long in the tooth

These are some bucks from a bachelor group of four at my front feeder in Houston County TX

Been seeing some really good bucks with good growth so far in the late evening and early morning hours. Seen one buck with split brows and matching droptines last week. Had 7 bucks this morning at the water trough I put in my yard. 3 were 5x5 frames already with pretty good mass.

Good looking pics, thanks for sharing!

Looking good. stx got em looking reaaal good

It's that time of year

Yesterday evening in my yard. I had 6 bucks total but the older does kept running them out of the yard area. Does get really territorial now around feed.

That 16 point is gonna be nice STX

One of the better ones we have so far on the new ok place sucks he busted about a 5-6” brow few days ago already

I went and sat by a tank later this evening and finally had a group of bucks come into water around 8:15. I took this pic around 8:30 when it was getting dark quick. Bucks really put the growth on in June. I think there were 13 bucks there at the same time.

Very nice!

That’s heaven on earth!

Are all of those "shooters" using your requirements?

No, one may be a management buck, one may be old enough at 5 to be a trophy and the rest appear to be to young yet.
