dusted off the old Marlin 336 today. Still shoots about 3moa. Decided to sit with it this evening. I haven't killed a deer with it in about 20 years, maybe more. I bought it in 1984 while I was at A&M. I don't really need another deer as I already have three does in the freezer. Maybe muy grande will step out.

Beautiful rifle!

I shot this one this morning in Belmont with a 257 WBY. Not high fenced and biggest buck I've ever taken. Scored it at 134. Happy Jamie and probably happier FIL.

Did the cowboy get his saddle back? That's a huge beautiful buck! Congrats!!

Leon County…70 and muggy. Nothing so far. No shots heard. Acorn crop is heavy so they don't have travel far for food.

I'm all about getting to the blind early, but this may be a new record.

Couple of pics from a reunion weekend. Group of friends who have hunted ducks together for 30+ years

Not many birds but lots of good times.

An owl just landed beside me.
Isaiah 34:15-17 KJV
[15] There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate. [16] Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them. [17] And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

Thank you for this opportunity to be out in God's Country!

God bless you all today and may you harvest a great reward!

Burleson County proved to be extremely slow over the weekend. Couldn't even get a doe.

Picked the wrong stand Friday afternoon.

Fallen off cliff as in just this season or as a trend? Not too far away and have had several bad years low herd counts.

man its been the last few years for sure. steadily in decline.

we used to look like a petting zoo when feeders would go off. 3-4 young 8s at every hunt.

now its rare I see an 8 point. and there are sits that I will see nothing. Something definitely happened but I dont know what.

Sounds exactly like us. I think it's our area, even though I'm up towards concan. Garner state park has had 2 worst deer counts last 2 year and presume this year will be another bad one. Happy to take this off line to discuss as I needed to vent quite a bit before meeting with biologist.

Assuming you're not joking and referring to the "other thread", we actually had one for a while but neighbors got him a few months back. 146lb Tom… pretty big dude!

Truck thermometer hit 31* by Somerville this morning. Nothing but fox squerrils so far.

Slowest season yet across multiple properties. I'm starting to wonder if the extended doe seasons are hitting the overall population hard.

The majority of my bucks are still coming in at night. Very seldom do I have pictures of them in daylight. I am pretty sure that 3"+ of rain we had opening weekend and warmer than normal weather has yielded more forage than normal this time of year. Hoping it dropped to a frost this morning and activity is hot this weekend.

31F just south of Lexington this morning. The past week has been slow. Opening weekend had a lot of activity but I guess the acorns dropped around here and has everything staying back in the woods

Had to take the kids to school so got out late (and spooked 4-5 deer by the feeder) but settled in and hoping for some late morning action.
