SUPER SEASON- 100% success on 4 man lease

SUPER SEASON- 100% success on 4 man lease - 07/28/21 08:48 PM

Photo disclaimer, the second buck from your right in pic has been photo shopped so it could be included with the other 3. Showing all bucks in the same pic was just a visual way to commemorate our great season where ALL 4 members killed Super Trophy bucks. They range from 160 BC to 181 BC and average almost 170 BC. Low fence, non protein fed and basically our first full season on the property all adds to the accomplishment. The deer history on the Ranch indicates we may likely kill bigger bucks in the future, but Im unsure we will ever have a season with 100% success at this level. I feel very blessed and want to thank all parties involved that helped make it happen.
If interested, theres another thread titled “SUPER TROPHY LEASE…Gauging Interest” from a couple weeks ago that will offer some insight into our unique situation on the property.

I’m not sure photo shopped is the right word. The one buck wasn’t in the original 3 deer pic and I had it “added”. Actually did have to go to some trouble to insure it was “sized correct” in proportion to the others. The middle two deer ran together so we knew how they matched up to each other.
Does this help?

Yeah. FR, since you did so well and now have so much time on your hands, you should give up big deer hunting and find another hobby. Shopping maybe.

Hud, I hope most understand your humor. Now that we actually met the other day, it has made available more ammo for your humor. Which reminds me, was the red bandana the sausage was wrapped in get picked up out of the pasture?

Incredible take freerange! Those are all monsters. I'd be curious to see if you have any trail cam photos on the additional property you're considering for the super trophy lease thread. $10K is more than I can spend, but I'm sure there's folks out there that would be willing to have a convo if they had a visual of the potential.

Lastly, no protein?! What the heck are ya feeding? Gonna have to buy that brand of feed!

0619, we aren’t feeding at all except corn from feeders. Some areas just have great natural forage, along with great genetics, so if they’re left to age then it’s special.

Thanks Hud. Hope y’all have a super season as well. With all the rain this year, it appears there may be a lot of good deer out there.

Re: SUPER SEASON- 100% success on 4 man lease - 08/02/21 02:50 AM

Fingers crossed some of those genetics run a little south wink and fingers crossed we can all be as patient and management minded as you when the decision counts. Heckuva a group, looking forward to seeing what comes this season, if only just one or two as good those four!

I am going with Hud this week to pick out a pontoon boat for him to turn into his new top drive for his place this year.

0619, a couple of these bucks had a thread about the hunt for them. Im not good at posting links but I tried to post one below that was an extremely long post from Oct 2020 about the 181 I got with my xbow.
All 4 of the bucks had been seen on camera and 3 of them were pretty regular early on. I got mine real early before he changed patterns. Two others disappeared for a good while from cameras, feeders and all visual. Finally the guys just kept at it and they came back in to the feeders and they were ready and got them. The 4th one was somewhat of a roamer and he came into our 80 acre wheat field in middle of place(its great and planted by owner) and he got him. For what its worth, my buck was the first Ive ever killed at a feeder. Thats partially due to putting out a lot of road corn, doing a lot of spot and stalk and just doing a lot of hunting without ever needing to kill anything.
