They are rutting pretty good right now. Seeing new bucks moving through and my does are spread out.
Good to know
Warm, muggy, and windy in Leon county. Cold front hitting tonight/early morning. Been a slow season here

Took a shot on a wide 8 pt at 8:30ish.
He's hit but hadn't gone down by 9:15 but I glimpsed him in the woods. Hopefully he will be down soon and I can track him.
Lost the blood trail after an hour of tracking. Probably ended up being a muscle shot.
Eating tag soup today I guess.
Just wanted to update this and say he survived and we met again this past Saturday morning. Apparently I hit him in the front leg the first go around and he was able to make it around for 3 weeks.
Perfect shot second time around, when I gutted him the heart & lungs were disintegrated. Looks like he also got into it with another buck between visits because he is missing a brow tine. Taxidermist said he could add it back for me.
I love the ending to this story!
Check out this dumb dumb. Pretty sure he is 3.5.
Could have shot him with a snub nose 38

I just shot a hog with an old WW2 Mauser rechambered to 30-06, and watched him lay dead for about 5-10 minutes. Climbed out of the blind to take a pic and he was gone. Turns out he was just mostly dead.

Guy I hunt with shot an aoudad, pretty good size ram too, in the head with a .270. It somehow jumped over the hog panel and basically died stuck between to the panel and barb wire suspended in the air….
He went down to check it a few minutes later (without a rifle - dumbass) and when he put his boot on the aoudads snout/head, it miraculously came back to life and sprinted off into the hills. We had pictures of that ram about a mile away the next week with blood down his face. Still find that situation hilarious

Sneaky.

Dang, why I hate head shots. Poor little innocent aoudad. Just minding his own business. PTSD now.
Dude has full blown CTE
Dang TBI's!
Missed a headshot on a doe today, decided to take out the frustration on a jackalope and rabbit. At least I'll get a nice little meal tomorrow.

I shot a nice big male coyote this morning... but since then have had to put down a calf and a horse, that's definitely not the kind of shooting I enjoy.
I've got my almost 8 year old daughter, 6 year old and 4 year old boy with me in a blind in Mills County this evening. 3 tablets going. I'll give it 30 mins before one days they are bored. Hoping for a doe, spike, or pigs to show. At least it's not 33 degrees like it was this morning. Didn't bother taking any of them out in the cold this morning. Good luck to all hunting this evening. Beautiful day out.
Brave man!
Well they made it about an hour and a half and I ran them back to camp and came back. They got to see a small doe and what I thought was a spike but he has some brows forming once I got the binos back from my 4 year old.
Going live from McCullough county. Less than a mile from the geographical center of our great state.
It's game day! Let's BTHO t.u. and some deer.
Waiting on this guy to show up.

No moon and no stars make for a very dark walk in this morning. Hoping to close out doe season this morning. Good luck, stay safe everyone.
McCullough County again this morning. I've never felt a warmer 36 degrees. It feels great.
Definitely feels warmer this morning than it did yesterday. Way less wind in Mills county this morning.
Callahan County. Nothing so far this morning but the cameras caught them eating last night. Was a clear morning with beautiful star gazing.
Got the 9 year old boy with me on a doe hunt. We saw a spike last night but he's on a Doe this year, spike next year and buck after that. Don't want to spoil him at 9.

Slow morning but back out again. Hoping to stick something early so I can have he or she quartered and in the cooler by kickoff.
Same here. Got a crockpot full of chili ready to eat already too.
Daughter got her first deer today. We stalked this deer 500 yds. Then she made an incredible 250 yard double lung shot to drop him. 6.5 did its job. Tx panhandle.
Congrats. Beautiful!
That's great. Nice buck. Congrats to her.
Apparently I need to start wearing pink and blue/green camo on my stalks!!

Thank goodness for sand dunes plum thickets and yuccas.
What county? Hartley, Oldham, Dallam?
That is bad ass, congrats to her. I'd quit hunting WTs if I could hunt MDs.
Hartley
Interesting photos here. Not sure if someone tried to shoot this buck or it got hit on the highway.
