Growing good

so by mid July in stexas they should be up pretty good

Going real good!

Lookin good

What does your little spike experiment look like?

I think my experiment with south. This morning when feeding the 2 Ibex in that trap where the spike is-was. There were 2 WT bucks, a WT doe and a Axis doe and 2 year old Axis buck. I am going to have to check the fence on the back side of that trap.

looking good Don,its going to be a great year!

I agree, I think it is going to be an interesting year. I have not seen conditions this good, this early in sometime. An area of the state that I am really excited about is the Trans Pecos. The monsoon season is typically July and August which is a little late for antler development. I was on a ranch between Marfa and Alpine back in March and conditions could not have been better. Conditions were excellent around Sanderson and all the way back to Menard.

This young buck looks promising.

Young? He looks like a ghost with antlers

He does look like he has great potential, good start

Not quite as ghosty here.

And these are not protein fed deer and I am over stocked so it should be a very good season for everyone.

Looking good

From this morning

Looking good don k.

Looks like they are growing out good.

Saw one last night south of Santa Anna that looked a lot like the buck in the back. Definitely a good year for antler growth. And, hopefully, help the herd in general recover a bit from the drought. In a bout 4 years we should be seeing a pretty good batch of bucks coming out of this year's fawn crop around the state.

Wow. I'm your neighbor. I'm excited to check my camera tonight.

Nice bucks!

Going to have a double brow tine.

Very nice Don! If you are over stocked my son and I would love to help you with your culls come fall.

Actually I don't have any "culls". I always figure if a person takes an animal it must be a trophy to them.

This guy was in the front yard this morning when I went out to get the paper.

Some of the biggest WT Bucks I have ever seen have been inside the San Antonio city limits.

Hey don k are you going to run hunts this year as well? Great looking deer.

Saw one group of Mills County bucks this weekend. Horns weren't really that impressive yet but the bodies on several of them were outstanding. Got some mature ones to look for this fall.


How much more will they grow at this point? I'd say they need to add about 30" to get to average for our mature deer.

Going to be a good Hill Country buck.

Beautiful buck! Does he have a split on that right G2?

Looks like he is going to.

On a couple of occasions I have returned home from a frustratingly unsuccessful hunting trip only to find a group of big bucks pooping in my yard.

Wide young Buck

The one with the split a week later

Good lookin buck Don!

Very Nice Don!

Our stuff. Is really jumping out there . As well.
All Deer. Outstanding conditions.
Going to have to be really patient this year.
Wait for that. Window of time. During the Peak.

Plus another week.

That wide young Buck a month later

very nice pics

Coming along nicely. Couple of nice young bucks with some potential. The kicker buck is sure going to be pretty when he finishes out

yep, good luck!

The one with the double brow tine about 3 weeks later.

I doubt if any will ever reach their potential.

About to quit growing

Outstanding

Great Pics Don!
