Nice Pics STX!
Looks like you should have a few nice ones next year. The scenario on my little place is much the same. Had a pretty good one show up last week. Hope they all survive....
We are not that far apart I think. You are in NE Live Oak IIRC and I am in Western Goliad on my home place. My other place is just west of you a bit in Live Oak county. With the later rut there always seems a few new bucks show up the last week or right after the season ends. I am hoping that a couple out of the 4 that have disappeared will show back up here. 3 of the 4 were here in mid to late December and now they are a no show. Of the bucks pictured below, I killed one of them, one is for sure still alive but the rest were here in December but a no show now.
Probably only 20-30 miles apart depending on if you're NW or SW in the county.
You've got a really good looking set for next year. Mine aren't that good, but I feel fortunate considering the surrounding neighbors have 5 feeders near the perimeter fence, with 4 of the 5 only about 20yds out. I think maybe I need to take a few does.
