Since no one has started one, I figured I would get one going for rifle season. I envision lots of pigs, aoudad, and maybe a whitetail in my future. I'll be in the blind (might still be bow hunting) Saturday AM in N. Uvalde County.

Be safe, have fun, and good luck everyone!

Deer looking in good shape in La Salle county, despite the drought conditions right now. Good Spring rains. I'll be in the blind Saturday a.m., maybe in shorts, if the forecast for lows in the 70s and highs in the 90s holds.

Weather is looking more like bow opener than rifle opener. At least we have rain in the forecast! I can hunt in mud boots and a rain jacket.

First year with my own lease. I've been bumming off people for years. Damn it was work setting it up! Got a lot more respect for those that invited me out in the past. I know now why they didn't want me taking any bucks.

Seeing some good looking whitetail bucks in the Abilene area. If only I could get the cattle to stop messing up my game cameras

Hot with a pretty good acorn crop. Most of my deer have been feeding at night. I hear more shots from my neighbors on opening morning than the rest of the season combined. Hopefully the conditions result in a lot of deer making it through opener this year.

Success during opening youth weekend in Bosque County.

Moon phase should be good for the opener. Of course it might be cloudy and rainy at night anyway. Should limit night feeding some. Last year it was full.

Was down south last couple of days. Hot and windy but saw some decent bucks. Was trying to take some does prior to December but nearly every doe we saw still had nursing fawns and many still in spots. Awful late for that but I guess we had a good 3rd rut.

Means you need to kill more does this year, same problem we have.

Deer count was up this year, but still not where it was pre-drought. I plan on taking a doe this weekend and using the rest of the time thinning the hog population.

We're on the West side of Mason County. 48 tags this year but we'll probably only use 20-25

I get to hunt Thanksgiving, between Christmas and New Year, and the January quota hunt this season so I can spread out the harvest.

Interesting enough our doe tags went down this year per MLD.

I cannot wait!!

We are heading down Friday to set up the trailer, get the cows out of the bottom pasture(uncle doing that tomorrow), and count deer. We will bring a rifle but this weekend is mostly about getting a plan together on what we want to kill. My guess is it will be one buck and two doe again just like the previous couple of years but you never know.

We have a really good consistent healthy herd of doe that quite literally never leave the bottom pasture. Maybe a little but not much. Most sedentary herd of doe I have ever seen. There are actually two groups of them, probably 20 or so in each group. One group goes up to the top but the other just never leaves. And they are scared ****less of people. It was fun hunting them before I put a blind up. But if we don't see the right buck we can shoot four doe

We do not plant or run feeders or anything like that. But we have several dozen pasture oaks and pecans that keep them relatively planted. And the river. We also don't run any cameras so we will see.

I'll be in the blind on Saturday morning wearing shorts and a short sleeved shirt. This is our third year hunting our own place in north central Real County. Looks to be the best year so far, so many more deer on camera this year than the previous two years. We also have a lot of pigs to kill.

Nice! I didn't shoot anything this morning because it rained 3" and damn near flooded but am now sitting in hog/aoudad blind. Mostly because it has decent reception to track the game.

Wasn't setup to get rifle and shot off out of that window before they dropped down into cedars. Working their way down now, I think.
