I finally got two cameras going at our new place just over the Lavaca County line and for the first couple of weeks saw several small six and eight points, a coyote and a fox as well as one large hog at both feeders. Things started picking up on Sept. 17th as a ten point buck, good for the area showed up in the morning and then in the evening after dark several times. This morning a whole group of hogs showed up. Have had multiple does and fawns as well as a spike also. Was worried that there might not be too many legal deer passing through, but there's at least one! [Linked Image]

Nice! Hogs and coons sure like your feeder. Which county borders Lavaca there? I'm in Colorado.

Nice solid good looking buck.

Dewitt and Victoria counties border Lavaca county from the south. I have a home in Victoria county but there is about a two mile strip of Dewitt county that I have to cross if I go up HWY 77.

Yep, he’s got the sway back, brisket, and defined shoulders.

I'm glad you guys chimed in on the age. I'm not that great at aging deer but I had also noticed his physical attributes you guys mentioned and figured him for at least 4.5 and maybe 5.5 years old.

I hunted in Lavaca co. where Lavaca and Jackson come together. The bucks had nice racks but was not real large, some what around 90-150 lb.s . as I remember. Fun place to hunt.

Guessing 4.5, no more than 5.5 years old. Little back sway, narrow face with normal hair coloring, normal size rump, the only thing that makes him look mature is his sagging brisket.
