Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Welcome slickhead! I only made it to one sitting this weekend and got skunked. Didn't see a darn thing except some turkeys going to roost. Looking forward to some significantly cooler temps later this week. Will probably hunt once or twice locally then head out west for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddhunter Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 15 points for usLast morning of our Primitive firearms season and I decided to venture to a stad that we usually hunt in rifle season because it's so thick and the deer usually hold up there as hunting presure gets higher. Almost took a doe being last day and all but it was to early for legal shooting so I passed and boy am I glad I did. About 30 minutes latera shooter walked into a shooting lane and I had to make a quick decision and shot. He went about 20 yards and "DIRT NAP".

Spanky72 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Congrats, Awesome buck. Muzzleloader starts on Saturday here. And looks like the pre-rut is started. Should be a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Dang, I just checked the scoreboard and it looks like we've jumped out to an early lead. I guess the rest of use deadbeats better get on the ball and kill something. Rifle season opens here on Saturday, but the weather doesn't look too promising. Lows in the upper 50's and highs in the 70's. The deer are trying to start their rut, but I think the warm weather has all of the chasing happening at night. We'll see how it goes this weekend. I'm taking off Monday so I'll get 3 days of hunting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoodsbowhunter Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Sorry I haven't been on lately guys. I had my senior night football game Friday and dislocated a rib so I've been gettin that better headed out Saturday though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesse8953 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 team #2 is in the lead.Rut has started but havn't seen anything that is worth shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Didn't see too much over the weekend. About 30 does and maybe a dozen or so different bucks. Saw one decent 8 point chasing a doe and a young 10 point that has a free pass this year. Rut still hasn't cranked up yet. Going back on Thursday. Got a light rain last night at the ranch. Hopefully it will be enough to get the wheat going. Cut back on the planting this year from 600 acres to about 350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Well the rut is in here. Rattled up a nice 8 point shooter last Friday morning along with 2 small bucks. The 8 point wasn't as big as my 10 so I let him pass (lol He didn't give me a shot !!!!) Seriously doubt I will do better than my 10 though. It's taken my 22 yrs to kill one that big and is going to be hard to top. You know if everyone kills atleast a doe we would be in a huge lead !!!!!!!! lmbo Good Luck everyone !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I have until mid Jan to shoot does, so that won't be a problem. I also got an invite this morning to go hunt a high fenced ranch for their annual doe kill. Their biologist recommended, actually it's more of a requirement, they take 200 does this year. Not sure when (or if) I'll participate, but I may go help them out. Last time I went on one of those, I killed 7 does in one day. I swore after that I'd never do it again. I was so sick of skinning deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Well boys...some bad news....we did a drive on tuesday and a buck came out to me about 100 yards though some pretty thick bush....I took one poke at him and he ran down the line to the next guy who put him down.So it was his deer right.....wrong after skinning him out I had hit him and he was running dead.....so no pics and no points for us....hope to get one with the bow next week Edited November 11, 2011 by Muff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I didn't have much luck either. Saw a couple of mature bucks, but neither one had a decent set of antlers. One was a 7 point and the other a 6. I guess the drought we had all Spring and Summer has really taken it's toll on antler growth. Pretty depressing to see a 5 year old deer with a 7 point rack that might score 100 on a good day. I did have a really cool daytime encounter with a badger. Got some close up pics that I'll be posting up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Just checked the weather for this weekend. Looks like it will be a balmy 80 with 30 mph south winds. I can barely contain myself. Someone hold me back.....sheesh! I don't think we're going to get ANY cool weather. Rut is on right now (I think), but all of the chasing is happening at night. OK, I'll quit whining now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Way to go team! Looks like everyone is having a good season but me. I still haven't seen anything close to a shooter. We're finally getting some slightly cooler temps. I might shoot a doe over Thanksgiving weekend if the bigger bucks keep hiding out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
