About that time to put a deer down. Heading towards Mountain Home and hoping to get something on the ground soon. Going with a brother in law since my wife is quite pregnant and "not in the mood" for hunting. No clue what is on the hit list yet.
Off to the Hill Country!

And just to filter out haters early, it's high fenced. Hoping one is already tied up waiting on me.

JK! Is this the official "going live thread"?
Whack 'em! Sack 'em! Feed 'em fish heads!
Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really
Is this where the wife shot an axis a while back?

No, she got the axis in Paige 2 years ago after we got skunked on axis here. We shot 2 good bucks last year here on opening weekend.
Saltlick. Not bad.
That's a lot of Oryx! Smoke a cow and no one will ever know when it's on the wall

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Saw some monster deer, but I was going for a cull this hunt. This guy finally came in a little before dark and took a while to come out from behind the feeder. When he got clear I put the 6.5 in the shoulder and popped him. Dropped his head and ran 40 yards and crashed. Solid hill country deer I'm happy with. I love typical deer and he was a solid pretty typical buck. My BIL managed to shoot his first deer at the same time and…. he's a doozie…
Man great update!
Is it weird that it's almost dissatisfying when giddings actually drops something? Or did he cleverly not go live so that it would turn out well for him?
Great cull deer by the way…I bet a lot of places wouldn't call that a cull
Congrats bro! Great buck

Thanks. There were a few bigger deer I really liked, but didn't want to stray from the original plan. There's a few guys here bowhunting huge deer, but no luck yet. This afternoon before the game we may go on doe patrol.
I know, I know, it's Texas, and he said it was a HF operation, but a comment "...and took a while to come out from behind the feeder.", makes just a small groan come out.
No, I don't hunt with a spear, or leap onto a deer's back, for the kill. Just still relish my Dad showing me how to find game trails, food sources, natural travel paths, etc. Just yesterday I "cleaned up/prepped" a 30+ yr old brush blind, that overlooks a creek bottom.
Hunting season prep that really amps up the excitement (and I'm an old guy).
But I know regardless of methods, being in the woods is an enormous plus.
I'll prepare to be blasted....
Edited to add: Giddings clearly had the right attitude, going in...."And just to filter out haters early, it's high fenced. Hoping one is already tied up waiting on me."

I bet 95% of hunters on this board hunt over a feeder so it shouldn't be a surprising comment. Next time I'll say "waited a while for my deer to come out from behind an obstacle".
One of the trophy hunters got his buck with his bow today. Huge.

I believe many true hunters in Texas scratch the itch by heading west for elk, etc and view whitetail hunting as a more casual experience. Wasn't like that when I was growing up, but that's what I see today.

Ehh, I'm sure other people here think the same thing he does. It's nothing personal and all good. Different strokes.
My deer just taped out at 149, the second buck was 187 and the one this morning went 212.
This is actually my biggest buck ever beating last year's out by less than 2", but he's what we were after. Football all day then maybe an axis or whitetail doe. One hunter in camp is still going for a big buck.
I'll never understand the reason people feel the need to post this ***** Make your disgusted noise to yourself and move the hell on.

Not in the slightest. It is just completely uncalled for on a thread that specifically stated how the hunting style was by the OP. Yet you feel the need to chime in with your holier than thou post…
I don't care how people want to hunt. High fence, low fence, feeder, or fair chase. Doesn't make a damn difference to me because that's THEIR choice. Instead of bickering with other outdoorsman, I just am happy they're outdoors and contributing to our sport.
Does that compute?

User name is appropriate...
And congratulations to Giddings on his kill

Hmmmm
Congratulations on a beautiful buck. Love the bladed tines. And I am posting on the east coast sitting in a tripod overlooking a feeder and food plot. Sure I am giving someone an aneurysm even though I bought it all and my son and I put it all together and worked the stand during the offseason.
Nice deer Giddings! Wish I could get a "cull" buck like that!
