I agree. I watched a pair one time and the old boss B. slapped one, but the younger slapped back. It was comical with the look the old B had when it came back to her.

4 down today, plus a decent size axis buck in velvet. 1 hit, but "gotaway" pig. 4 very happy and tired teenage boys.

BEST time== early as possible (that is October in TEXAS)

Before they have more fawns…

In theory, you take them and culls early so better bucks breed. That’s viable on less than a percentage point of ranches in Texas, though. So before season ends is most appropriate answer

Last year I had one of the mean old ones show up and she started thrashing a dozen others. Pretty soon she was the only one in my sizable pen. I popped her in the dome and the others stayed around within 75 yards while I lifted her up with my tractor and took her to the barn. 10 minutes later the others were in the pen eating. What happened apparently met the approval of the rest of them.

When you get hungry.

Yeah, I killed 6 deer with two shots yesterday afternoon. Just haven't had time, plus I have 11 doe tags to fill (7 down, 4 to go).

2 to go for me. The War Dept. has issued orders for 1 for the freezer.

Someone got busy in Mills County this weekend

Best time is when you can drive up to um...

Like BoBo said, before season closes.

I'm not even making a dent...


'Got a text from a guest at this exact set Saturday, asking if they could sit longer 'cause they hadn't seen much.

Plenty here.

Can a land owner affect doe movement by having feeders throw during daylight hours or even middle of the day in season? Thanks Daniel

Have a member that comes unglued to the point of hysteria if he kills a pregnant doe, but he'll pass up all does at the beginning of season waiting for a buck to show.

You might advice him to leave guts in and and qtr handing.

I don't perform a necrotomy when I clean a doe. Keep moving, focus on what you're doing and keep from splattering blood and guts on yourself. What's dead is dead. Forward!

Sometime before :30 minutes after sunset yesterday.

Ask 100 hunters you will get 100 different answers! Us we try to shoot them early, as year progress, food
sources dry up, deer loose energy, weight, and besides most of them are carrying child at time, unless they went unbreed.

Here our season doesnt end til last day of Feb, on MLD property here. Didnt know we had so many Unicorns on the farm here
now! but the 13" rules play here. Scrap bucks need to go....

Before the rut

I try and wait til later in the season, cause I don’t see many does this year I saw 4 does and 15 bucks.
