Stud showed up

Stud showed up - 10/24/21 08:37 PM

I have been on this property for over 40 years. There was one other deer about 30 years ago that was spotted like this one. This is post oak savanna and these type deer just aren’t usually here. This is at my deer feeder about 1/4 mile from the house. This is the first time he’s been on camera. Opening day just got more interesting.

You need to hit that request full HD button on the app. It’s like 5 bucks for 50 HD pics. It will send you a high definition version of that pic

Really guys, even with my ole eyes that not a hard choice, pick up rifle, load cartridge, acquire target, take rifle off safety, pull trigger. Then whoop and shout oh yea baby, thank you Lord.

Or you could wait till next year, to see if he gets gooder.

Re: Stud showed up - 10/27/21 12:06 AM

I'd let him go another year.. He prolly wont make AR's... Looks like one eye is larger than the other... Your neighbors wouldn't shoot him...bolt

No more pics of him. I hope he hangs around. I’m staying out of the area but will be checking the feeder this weekend. Steady doe traffic, hope that’s what brings him in come rut time. I’ll hunt this one hard.

Well he’s taunting me now. He shows up the evening before the opener. Hope he’s there in the morning.

Re: Stud showed up - 11/07/21 01:35 AM

Hunted hard today, saw 2 above average 8 pointers, one was doing some serious lip curling. No sign of the 10. Signs are pointing to rut here though. Buddy had 2 fighting for 10 min. ( prolly 3😂) not far from here. I’ll be back out tomorrow, I waited until we’ll after dark to sneak out.

Re: Stud showed up - 11/20/21 01:27 PM

I caught about a 3 second glimpse of him this morning. He’s still running.

Re: Stud showed up - 11/20/21 01:34 PM

The rut is in full swing, may be time for some tink 69 this afternoon.

Re: Stud showed up - 03/05/22 05:16 AM

Well I haven’t seen him in almost 3 months but he made it through the season but he lost a lot of weight. No broken tines though. Now to get him on the protein!

He’s hitting the protein feed hard, this is an absolute monster for the Post Oak region. Talk about wait till next year!

He did not, he taunted me by showing up the night before the opener. I hunted him hard and saw him once for a bout 3 seconds.

Beautiful buck! Shouldn't he be dropping is horns by now?
Posted By: Texasbdog

Re: Stud showed up - 03/09/22 10:18 PM

Should be anytime but all the bucks here still have their horns. I’ll be looking for these sheds in a couple weeks.

That is good!!!
I was worried that maybe he is a buck that completely changes location.
He is just very smart and you will have to play the game better to get him killed! up
