Who's in the stand right now? - 12/14/19 11:09 PM

Need a headcount. Erath county behind the house. Temp is 70ish, nice southern breeze. Deer all over my neighbors pasture right now. Seen a couple of big bucks fighting earlier. Over here on the other side of the tracks, I've seen a couple of doe and a young 6pt that's busted off. Acorns still dropping. Looks like the year for the deer. That's fine with me. What are y'all seeing?

Too hot down south. My kids literally got in the pool today.

Wow. Water had to be a little chilly. My FIL is south. Hunting has been slow in Comal county. Lots of Liveoaks.

Just watched two hogs " makin' bacon" on neighbors. They ran all the deer off too.

I'm here. Saw 3 does and a 3 point but just switched stands due to wind shift. Had a big fox come through at 10 yards. Shot a really big boar yesterday.

I shot a decent 8 on the 12th in Schleicher county. He came into the sound of two bucks fighting. One of which was bigger than the one I shot. Bucks fought for about 5-10 seconds and both ran.

It was cool in the morning (40s) but warm in the afternoon. Saw 10-12 deer every sit through Saturday.

Deer movement has been slow in Kendall county.

Corn is cleaned up every night but very little deer movement around feeders

Moon was as bright this morning walking in as I think I’ve ever seen it

Sorry I missed this thread yesterday. I was hunting the last few days.

Had a forum member stop by yesterday morning and was showing him around. He suggested I gather up the gourds around the property and bust them open. I did and the deer came to them before the corn.

I know the pic is not very good but, they are eating them and the corn.

Re: Who's in the stand right now? - 12/15/19 02:29 PM

Man it has been brutal in Wood County. Not seen one buck in daylight this year. Thinking about forgetting about deer and going back to fishing again. May keep lease just for the hogs.

Re: Who's in the stand right now? - 12/15/19 08:39 PM

Hunted the lease in Lee county yesterday afternoon and saw 2 deer way off and shot a large pig right at dark, hunted this morning and saw nothing. They had to be feeding at night because the 2 feeders I looked at just had corn that was thrown this morning under them. This is the first time in 7 years at this place that I didn’t at least see deer leaving out.

Re: Who's in the stand right now? - 12/15/19 09:11 PM

All the deer ran off wheat field. Wind has picked up and temps are dropping faster than panties on prom night.

Re: Who's in the stand right now? - 12/15/19 11:19 PM

3 more doe. Only the 3 point has hit the feeder though. Wind is whipping!!! Gonna be a challenge if a pig shows up at this distance.

Beautiful view on the side of the hill though.Gonna' get chilly tonight. After the hunt I'm gonna' make a fire in the woodstove and sip some wine cheers

It really is. Theres a line in the movie, "Last picture show", where Sam the lion takes the boys fishing in a west Texas stock tank. The boys complain about not catching anything, and say there's nothing but turtles in this tank. Sam says something like, and I'm paraphrasing, "good, if y'all had caught a mess of fish, then we'd have to clean them". I feel about the same with the deer when it's cold. I usually take them into Bluff dale.

Erathkid I live in Comal county and see deer every night in my back yard. Live about 100 yards from the river and quite a few in the neighborhood. When out hunting spend hours trying to see deer then come home and they are here at the house. Sometimes you just can't win. Dang bucks ruined 2 crape myrtle trees (small), 3 other shrubs...real pests. Good luck at the lease.

Re: Who's in the stand right now? - 12/17/19 02:27 AM

I hunted this afternoon but hands were to cold for live updates. Wind was absolutely brutal with wind chills in low twenties high teens. Felt below zero to me!!! Lots of movement when wind calmed down though.

Good luck in the morning. Me and the Beagle will be snuggled up in the sleepin bag. Got my buck opening day so not going to freeze for some pigs.

I'll be heading to Brady early tomorrow morning. I've been looking for a big 11 that was easy to find up to the week before bow season. I've tried known bedding areas, watering holes, travel routes, and watching the feeder. So far he's winning but I'm hoping he will slip up. aim

I see this quite often. They'll lick each others faces. Weird. Let me rephrase that. I "used" to see them do this. Before the UFO came and beamed up all our animals.

seriously considered it, but I had a truck bed full of corn I needed to get put out or I would have.


Saw the deer pop out about 5 yards from the blind just before sun up. Cloud cover and drizzle made shooting light come a little later. I wrestled with the idea of letting him walk and trying for a bigger buck, but since its Christmas break and odds of me being with my kids from now till end of season are pretty high, I decided to take him as a cull and get him off the range.

Waited until the feeder went off and he fed in front of it which presented me with a 16-17 yards shot, which is my ideal range when I can get it. Drew back and settled in, I was shifting in my seat and he must have heard something as his head snapped up. I settled the pin right behind his shoulder and hit the release, heard the impact and watched him bolt off out of my field of view. Shot felt good and I waited my usual 5-7 min before I get out to look for the arrow.

get down to where he was standing at the shot and I find hair and a few pieces of meat......which makes me scratch my head a bit. I have not been shooting my bow at all ( last time I fired an arrow was 10/21 when I shot the last deer ) but 17 yards is pretty much a gimmie and replaying it in my head I was dead nuts. I look around and find no blood.....zero. Go about 20 yards further and find the arrow. Blades are deployed and I see just a teeny bit of blood on the vanes and another teeny bit on the collar near the broadhead.

Now i'm thinking WTF as due to the low light I physically did not see where the arrow made its impact but i'm still certain I was at a dead hold and did not drop my arm as I released.


I start following the trail downhill where I assume he would have gone and started looking around under oak motts. About 5 min later, approx. 60 yards from the shot I see him laying under some oaks with a perfect exit wound behind his shoulder. There was a little blood around where he thrashed a bit before giving up the ghost, but nowhere near what one would expect from a big 3 blade mechanical.


Dressed 94 lbs post rut....these deer are tiny!

I've only missed about three weekends since bow opener. I have had one fawn and a hog in bow range all year. Last year I don't think I had a weekend I didn't have a deer in bow range. Two years ago I shot 27 hogs with a bow in deer season. I've seen a lot of deer this year just not up close. Hunting with 5000 oak trees of about six different varieties during a record acorn crop has been difficult to say the least.

Re: Who's in the stand right now? - 12/21/19 02:56 AM

I sat from before 3pm to 5:15 without seeing an animal. No flags, no blowing, nothin'. Really weird. They're on the camera, just not tonight.

Walking to my ride and heard 3 drawn out shots just to the west of me. The third must have been stretching the barrel way out there by the way it sounded. Pretty sure it was my "bow hunting only" Louisiana neighbor. Hope it was pigs. If it was the big 10, I hope they were clean misses, or at least a quick death. I wanted a low fence place and I'm still very happy with "The Rocking 'G' ". grin

Early to bed, early to rise.

There were at least a half-dozen mature does at my feeder, but no shooter bucks tonight. Leaving the does 'til our upcoming "doe smack". 'Hope we get the one that throws a conniption fit every night I come back to the house and sit on the front porch.

Beautiful morning here, but just does. a very young 8, and the young, slightly more than a spike I call "Mr. Pitiful".

How come solunar tables always say "Good" the day AFTER you have to leave? Is that related to the fishing guides saying "You should've been here yesterday"?

Thanks guys. It's probably his biggest ever. He past on a group of 100 pounders about an hour before the big guy showed up. He didn't want to shoot one because he is still trying for a buck but passing on a trophy class boar is hard to do.

Re: Who's in the stand right now? - 12/24/19 10:50 PM

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
So wouldn’t you know
I’m out at the ranch
But the hunting is slow.

The feeders were filled
The corn it was spread
With visions of a buck
With 10 points on it’s head.

Asleep in my bed
I hear such a clatter
What in the hell…
Is making that splatter.

I turn on the light
And open the door
It’s raining like hell
And all over the floor!

Morning is here I’m dressed and well fed
Hot coffee and biscuits I no longer feel dead.
I stumble in the dark in search of my blind
Where wind and rain is just what I find.

No rain gear
No gloves
No face mask that’s odd.
That’s just my luck as I climb my…. TRIPOD.

Now I sit and I wait
For something to see.
Ohhh boy Ohhh boy
I REALLY gotta pee!

For hours I sit
I’m drenched to the skin.
No bucks and no does
It’s happened again.

No problem I say
And smile with a grin
Lunch and a drink
And we’ll do’er again.


I’ll call you folks later
When this is all done.
And wish you a Merry Christmas
That was just too much fun.

MERRY CHRISTMAS Y’ALL

Anyway, fog as thick as soup, I think visibility is less than 75 yards right now.
Had 5 doe and a decent buck out so far. Hoping another doe sticks it’s head out and I will take that one. Wasn’t in a rush to do anything this am as I still have the whole weekend to hunt.

No big boys at the feeder. Walking back to the truck, I pushed axis off the windmill troughs. This guy stood 50 yards behind my tailgate. I was about 50 yards in front of it. Very, very low fence! He's no monster, but the Mrs. wants axis meat. grin

In the stand but not optimistic. Checked the camera yesterday and all that’s been here for 4 days is small bucks and doe with pigs at night. You can’t win if you don’t play though! This will be my last two days as well since next weekend the Queen wants to go to the lake house.

An 8 point sounds good to me right now. Other than the Axis I’ve put nothing in the freezer this year. Truth is though if I don’t find a buck I want I will take a doe from the backyard in muzzle loader. We have one that hits feeder 40 yards from the back door that’s has been injured with a bad shot by someone. I wish there was legal provisions to handle something like this but since there isn’t I’ll wait for muzzle loader. I don’t know if I hope she makes it that long or hope she doesn’t.

Yes congratulations Creek, did he have a wound or injury that caused the one side to grow that way? I shot a deer a few years ago that barely used one of his hind legs and he always grew the same weird rack on one side. Come to find out he had broken his leg as a young deer and it healed badly.
Posted By: Creekrunner

Re: Who's in the stand right now? - 12/28/19 08:40 PM

I couldn't see any injury and today he wasn't limping hardly at all, but earlier in the season he had a definite limp.

Y'all kill something! Gutting it out and loading both those deer up by myself this morning to take to town has taken its toll on the ol' lower back. I'll be in the Martini aka house blind this evening .

Well, I saw 0 deer again this morning. I am officially done for this year due to other commitments and wont be able to hunt again. Terrible ending to a terrible year overall. My dad saw one doe this morning and shot it. My 6 year old was with him and actually spotted the deer.


On a high note this was my 6 year olds first time to go hunting and he had a blast. He is good at looking through the binos and seeing deer. Took his BB gun and him and his older brother walked all over our farm exploring and shooting stuff. Mu dad said he was so excited my dad shot the deer he spotted.

Question? What times are y’all seeing deer right now? My area they were showing right after sunrise and beget sunset, last couple weeks they show after dark and before sun comes up. I have one more tag to fill my freezer and I need advice. This is my first year hunting deer as I am retired from the Army. I filled my two does and one buck from a different county.

I was covered with deer 30 minutes before daylight until I got out of the blind. This time of year in south texas, it’s not hard to find them.

A few miles east of you they were moving till around 0945 this morning and they started moving again around 215.
Lots of movement since this last hard freeze burnt the brush.

Not the deer I have been looking for but still a mature deer. I don’t ever remember shooting a deer on the last day of the year so I will remember this one. Tough season but I always believe if you put the time in it will work out in the end!

As you can see, ain't no deer. Feeder went off 15 minutes ago. I'm used to deer INSTANTLY! taz
Seriously, there's something hinky about this place. Decent number of deer on camera, but not so much when I'm here. And I shower daily. 'Faces east (feeder is where previous hunters had one.) I don't know if it's the narrow opening, it being all in shadow, where it is on the ranch, or some combination of above. This is the (edge) of the hill country. I'm used to a doe watching you fill the feeder. grin

I don't think this spot is a keeper.

Re: Who's in the stand right now? - 01/02/20 11:27 PM

I think the previous owner might have built this blind. And I'm pretty sure a couple of days ago that I found where they spread his ashes.
[Linked Image]

Best view on the place.

But...maybe there's bad juju in this blind. Still not an animal one. Second sit this has happened. Did see stuff earlier in the season though, at the height of fresh acorns on the ground.

Wonder what it'd be like to put a blind and feeder where they spread his ashes. geekfreak

Good luck to all! For my last two or three sits for the season this weekend, I'd like to send out this song to my favorite 10 point, you know who you are. (Last seen on my camera Thanksgiving evening.)

Please come home Big Boy. crying rifle

(Apparently, this song is heavily patent protected and the Glen Frey version, he co-wrote it with Henley, is the only one I can load, but, the only real version is the Eagles version. Rock on. But I'm very impressed at the level of lawyers that Don is able to employ.)

Lots of shots here. Way more than opening morning. I've got a mature 9ish cull, but I know I'll be bummed and will just be work if I shoot him. I know culling for "genetics" doesn't work (quickly), but a mouth off the place is a mouth off the place. He's definitely the (insert word for large male rooster that won't get by the filter here)-of-the-walk here this morning so far.

Re: Who's in the stand right now? - 01/05/20 02:53 PM

Childress County, all the deer have went underground in the past week or so. But it's been a great year, I got a buck I'm happy with opening day, son got a nice 10 the next week, and wife out did both of us the week of Thanksgiving with her first buck. Hoping a few younger deer we have seen make it til next year. Was hoping for a pig or turkey this weekend. Turkey came my way this morning but turned. I've got the smoke pole in the blind and it was just a touch to far. Only thing I could think to do was pull up a turkey call on YouTube to see if I could bring them back, I might as well played a screaming wildcat, didn't know turkey could fly that fast and far. Hoping y'all get what you want by seasons end, I know I did, quiet time in God's creation, family time, and time to reflect on years past.

Well that sucked. laugh For the first time in many years, I stayed 'til last legal shooting light. No shooter bucks. 23-25 does and yearlings at the end though. I'd corned the road to boot. Then, at dark, a pig came out at about 40 yds. . He saw the light on my stainless barrel and I pulled the trigger with the safety on! Maybe I shouldn't have had that wine with lunch. bang

4 doe tags it is.

Was about to head out when our lease "boss" decided to let some predator hunters come out this weekend since he thought nobody would be out due to rains yesterday. The predator hunters are welcome after deer season per agreement with landowner - upon notice. Bad executive decision on his part.

To Halfadozen, I agree 100%. Making an assumption, and not following the lease agreement, are not a good idea. The rules become meaningless, and the lease manager loses credibility, if they are not followed. No one wins (long term) when an "exception" is made.
