Cold this morning but only saw one spike. Had about 15 pigs last night.

One small buck and four does outside Comfort,Tx. Will give it another try in the morning before church.

Bucks are finally chasing down here in Duval Co.

Daughter got a great one last night. Both of us were very nervous till she calmed down enough to take shot and actually found it back in the woods after running for about 45 yards.

Stud!

That's awesome!!! Great memories, and a hell of a buck for her!!!! Way to go!!!!

I sure need to head to the woods. Haven't been able to hunt a single day this year, sadly. But, I might get to sneak away with my boys at the end of the week for a quick trip.

I'm hoping this massive unit is still hanging around. He needs a dirt nap, bad. Anyone have a guess at his weight? I have no idea.

I'm surprised he hasn't knocked your feeder down. Yet.

280#.

It's a 2500# feeder. We braced and buried the legs a number of years ago. You don't need 2 guesses to figure out why.

They have never knocked ours over, but the jerks did rub on the legs enough to bend the feeder up real bad. One other type we used to have, they pushed on the legs so much and spread them out, which lowered the feeder. They then knocked off the spinner and timer, dumping a nice 1000# pile of corn for a piggy buffet. We declared war at that point, and started trapping whole sounders in our rage.

That pretty much what I was thinking- maybe 250'ish.

I hope I get a chance to ground check his sorry behind.

I know I need a fence around it but I haven't had time. I haven't even hunted it LOL

I just left deer camp after almost 12 days of being out there. I know I'm getting older because I didn't take a buck in almost two weeks of hunting, but the trip was incredible, and I'm very thankful. Ten years ago me would have been pretty upset with myself for not getting a big buck, but I put two does in the freezer, shot a couple of pigs and a couple of yotes, and my liver is still intact as far as I know.

What I do know is that I left with less than what I came with when I first climbed into the blind. That is definitely a perspective that has improved with age.

I'm probably the worst millennial of all time with my phone, and I always forget to take pictures, but I did remember to take one to show a buddy the mobile gantry set up I have.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, and here is to closing out the season strong.

How do you like it?

I bought one after my wife encouraged me to so I wouldn't need as much help.

I didn't put it together, went hunting, shot a buck, and ended up finding a tree to hang him from.

I got a similar one that has 2 winches … one to lift deer and the other is to skin the deer. Really is a time saver, i cant remember the name. Will try to find it.

Koola hide ripper. Very highly recommend.

Never heard of it - watched the video - really cool!

Its great. It is super easy to use and makes life a lot easier. It also swivels so you can turn it and easily swing the deer around to load in the truck.

What I do is split the chest open on the ground and then hang it to gut and skin. It saves your back and you do not have to crawl around on the ground to clean the deer.

Looks awesome... only thing I would change is I would get/ make a cable gambrel for it.

No luck, but it was a beautiful morning.
