Live Youth Hunt from Eastland county

Ok guys. My 16 year old daughter Nicole and I are in the blind in Eastland county (far southwest side). We filled up the feeder yesterday and have her ready in the pop up. Lots of trails and tracks so let's see what we can see. Looking forward to a productive hunt. Stay tuned... Frank

Good luck Nicole!!!

Good luck

Nicole says thanks Mr. Seadog. Lol

Had a lil early movement behind us. Just starting to get some light.

Had a fawn out that ran behind our far bucket feeder. Waiting for momma to come out or daddy!

Off and on here in Eastland county so far this year. Have fun

A few pics from yesterday after we set up the blind and new feeder

Good luck!!!

Thx txhntr, Novemberyet and hooked01!

Just started sprinkling here a few mins ago, but didn't last long.

Ok rain just picked up pretty good. Wind is SSE at 5-10mph.

I'd better head in before I get wet. Are you out near Cross Plains? It looked like it was going to hold off before it started raining too hard.

Yeah about 10mins Northwest of Cross Plains

It just slacked off again. Doesn't look like anything steady so far. Mainly just a lil wind.

Good luck guys!

Thanks Deerhunter61! Luck is what it is all about. Teaching her to watch the birds. They are a good indicator of something coming generally.

Good luck. I hope the young lady gets a big 'un, or at least a tasty one. I love hunting in light rain like that. If you get a heavier shower, stick it out. They sometimes like to move right after it quits.

Outstanding and good luck to the young Lady

Yeah I was kinda hoping it would rain a lil heavier. Oh well... it is what it is. Stopped raining for now.

Thanks much Fire1 and SniperRAB.

Caught a faint smell of deer behind us.

Good luck

Good luck, know there are also hogs and turkey around where y'all are hunting.

Thx Tye

Yes sir Kmon1. We don't have a lot of tracks to go off of, but hella trails coming out of the woods. They have a very well beaten down path right to the forward feeder. And the tracks we have seen have been deer.

Proud of Nicole. She is being still, quiet and keeping a good eye out constantly. I like it when she hears something she tries to pinpoint where the sound is coming from then looks or glasses the area.

The sun is trying to peak on out. Clouds are fast moving and I think the sun would be our best bet right now in hopes to get the deer up and moving.

Was thinking of getting out of the blind at 11:30, but I think 12 is looking much better! Right now the sun is playing peek a boo with some smaller fast moving clouds.

Good luck!!

Thanks Texas Buckeye

Still no sign of anything. Gonna wait it out til 12

Another guy hunting here hit a doe with his bow yesterday before dark, but can't find her. Looked last night and this morning to no avail.

Just had a deer walk right up behind us and didn't know we were here til the last minute and took off. Don't know if it was a buck or doe either. Went back towards the wheat field. Startled us. Lol

Y'all are gonna' get one today, I can feel it. Be ready. Good luck Nicole.

Thanks Erathkid. Nicole is now hunting over a wheat field where doe are common to see and shooting a 6.5 Creedmoor. Destiny my other daughter is with me in my blind using a crossbow. Just got in here and no deer movement all day so we are hoping for something.

3:05 & no movement yet. Other than the deer earlier that scared the heck out of us.

Oh yeah & it sounds like it is about to start raining hard. Lots of thunder and light rain right now.

Not the biggest, but her first deer none the less.

A deer is a deer........

It all paid off. Great!!!

Congrats!

Flippin fantastic! Congrat's to both of you.

awesome.

She made me even prouder than I already was. Thanks guys. Got my other daughter in the blind right now trying to get her on a deer.

It is a great deer in her eyes and mine and yours and that all that counts.

All right! Way to go.

Congrats

Great job and from that smile I would say she is happy, happy, happy. Good luck to your other daughter.

Excellent! Congratulations young lady!

Congrats, Might not be the biggest but is her best one so far, and will always be remembered. Great first deer.

that size is some fantastic eating

Good job! Her smile says it all!

Congrats !

Haha Kmon1 that is what I told her, "You could not have shot a tastier deer", lol. She is stoked and will be back this afternoon with me.

Good luck, there are more out there

Congrats and good luck.
