The rain was everywhere this weekend. Land not accessable unless by 4x4. We used our Kawasaki UTV 4x4. Pic doesn't so it justice, as some of the land looked like a marsh. Near Madisonville, Tx and it rained pretty much from dawn until dusk Saturday. This morning was clear skies but not as cold as they said. I saw lots of activity. One good buck about 200 yards from me, but he was running pretty quick. |

I may go back in a couple of weeks and get a score on him or just wait six months and do it once the mount is done.
He wasn't very wide but that's one of the reasons I liked him. Also a prime example of why I don't always agree with the 13'' rule some counties have. His genes are out here, I was after his daddy/brother/whatever that was only a 8pt but a couple years older. . |

Nice. How do you like the mossberg lc? Is it pretty accurate? Quote HistoryQuoted:

http://s793.photobucket.com/user/mxtaco48/library/Mobile%20Uploads Still trying to figure out how to imbed. <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://s793.photobucket.com/user/mxtaco48/embed/slideshow/Mobile%20Uploads"></iframe> Shot him at 6:30am this morning. Came out of a trail about 50 yards in front of me that I was huntin. This is my second deer using Hornady Whitetail 150 grain .308 that it dropped the deer where it stood... Both time the exit wound was minimal. You can see the exit wound on the skinned pic. ... Pretty much what the doe I shot looked like. This was in Newton Cty and my lease has a minimum 14" spread. I was pretty worried when I walked up to him and saw 5 points that I had shot too small of a deer but his spread was 14 1/4. Nice. How do you like the mossberg lc? Is it pretty accurate? Actually, it's a Savage Hog Hunter 308 on a MDT LSs chassis. I love it so far. Really fun to shoot and fairly accurate. Picked up Sellier and Bellot subs to shoot while in the stand and took a few shots with it. The twist, 1:10, stabilized the round enough to be fairly accurate still. |

I heard a few duck hunters around me Saturday morning. Actually, I think there were more duck hunters out than deer hunters because of the storms. |

I'm not going to lie, I haven't seen much this season worth shooting yet and today my buddy decided to make an appearance.

I know of a 12 3/4" wide buck that scored 198" that was a 9x8 typical, just a really tight rack that a guy shot. The 13" rule is useless, luckily I don't have to deal with it. |

Got this cull the morning of the 14th, got 3 hogs in the afternoon (2 100-125lb sows that got dragged off, and one 30-40lb boar that I cleaned) didn't get any pics of the hogs though. I'm in the lead on hogs for our lease so far this year with the one I killed youth weekend. |

I'm in the lead on hogs for our lease so far this year with the one I killed youth weekend. I wish I could see a pic of him live, but from the ground check pic I'm guessing 4.5 years old. Good shoot, and good venison in the freezer! I think we are lucky on our family land. While we do have some hogs, they all pretty much only frequent a small 50 acre section of the property. The rest of the 300 acres is hog free judging by trail cams and lack of sign/tracks. Coyotes and dogs on the other hand.... Edit: http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae360/captwoodrow10/Mobile%20Uploads/20151122_202906.jpg That's a big pack of dogs there. Good luck with removing them. How hard are they to hunt? Good question. I hope to find that out this weekend. I've hunted coyotes all my life, but these beasts are another thing entirely. I don't know if they will come to hand calls, bait piles, or what. |

Wow...pic of feral dogs is crazy.

Went ahead and shot a doe yesterday. I used 62gr Fed Fusion, shot was around 90yds, double lung and she ran around 20-30yds and fell over dead. No blood trail but nice entry and exit wounds. Once I started dragging her out of the bush the blood really started to pour out.
I already have 47lbs of burger plus the backstrap and tenders from my buck so this will be a nice boost to my yearly supply. I'll be teaching my seven year old nephew how to process, he's excited.

Sitting in my blind and I've gotta say,
People firing off rapid behind me in the next property is pretty lame. Even if it's hog control. I would wait until night. Oh the woes of deer season.
Hi everyone! From Outside Leona, Texas. |

There are always a few meat hunts posted there, the exotic section will have some posted as well. Average price for a doe is around $200-300 sometimes that may include a hog. |

Not me or mine, but a friend. I may get a chance to hunt this property at the end of the season. It's a high fence MLD ranch west of SA.
Scored 173

Both my girlfriend and myself have taken 2 doe each. We are pretty much set on venison, so I'll just be a spectator now, unless mr BIG steps out. I take that back. We've seen more coyotes and wild dogs this year than ever before, so I'll probably be on predator control more than anything else from now on. I had pics of 12 wild dogs under one of our feeders last weekend. They need to die. Quote HistoryQuoted:

If your freezer is full and you haven't bought another I'll probably pass and stick to nuisance reduction (reducing nuisances by killing hogs, coyotes, and leaving before my welcome runs out.) The Mrs. wants to buy a freezer, so maybe next year I'll try to con you guys out of a doe. |

I actually almost shot him last week as I watched him breed a doe, but decided he would be good for a friend or guest. We need his genes gone. If he's still around the last couple weeks of December and I see him...... Go buy the wife a freezer, they are worth the money. |
