Dawg

Congrats Frank! I don't have anything to report. I've seen a lot of deer but nothing I want to put a tag on yet. I have an doe permit for one of the WMA's I hunt that is good until Jan. 7. I'm going to do my level best to fill it this weekend. I can't upload pictures either. Not sure what's up with that. I'll check back in later on to see if there are any other updates. If not, its been a good run here at RT. Hate to see the site in the state it is now but there's no sense in crying over spilt milk. Hope you guys and gals have many more successful hunting seasons in the future.

Made my first sit this past Sunday on some of the public land I hunt. Had a buck with about 8" spikes walk by right after I got settled. Beings the WMA I was on has a 1 buck limit, the spike got a pass. The wind swirled and another deer caught my scent, never seen it but heard it blow.

Saturday was the bow opener but with temps reaching the mid 90's I elected to stay home. We have a cold front moving in Thursday and temps are supposed to be in the low 50's Sunday morning. I'll be in the woods somewhere, just not sure exactly where.

I hunt public land so I won't be able to share any pics unless I take some while out in the woods. Good luck this year guys!

I'm in.

I'll play along on deer contest. It's been a year or maybe a little over a year since I've checked in here. Did William leave? He's been the one running the deer contest for awhile now.

3 days and no replies. I reckon it's not on. Sad deal, this place used to be hoppin. Yall have a good one ✌️

Check check...123...Check check.... Can you hear me? Awfully quite around these parts.

Awesome buck Al! I haven't had much luck so far. Only been able to get out in the woods a few times so far. Had one shooter slip behind me at about 30 yards and caught my wind.

You guys have some really nice deer. I'd like to hunt one of the mid-west states one of these years. Saturday is our gun opener. I'll be hunting some Corps land on the Neches River WMA. This is where I cut my teeth on hunting when I was a teenager and have killed many a deer and hog in those woods. It's going to be a cold boat ride but I'm looking forward to it.

Good to see you check back in Gator! Congrats on your marriage and sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. The Childress area is one of my favorite spots in the state. I hunted the Matador WMA there a few years ago.

Good looking bucks there Al!

I'm not sure what qualifies one being an OG but I'm in my 14th year on these forums. Original username was hogdawg, then The_Dawg (a play on The_Kat's username) and now it's just Dawg. I don't frequent the forums as much as I used to. Between my full time job, my personal business I started last year and family there's not much time for anything else. This was the very first forum I joined and still get the "home" feeling when I log in. You guys were the first to go along on my first muley hunt in Colorado and the hunts in the following years. The forums aren't what they used to be but that's alright. Sometimes the camaraderie gets lost when there's too much going on.

Sounds like you have an eventful season ahead of you Al. Hope you have some of those "wow" bucks show up!

Just got through reading this. Hate you had to deal with all that but glad you are making mends, William.
