CowboyReb91 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I know it's out of season y'all and that I haven't shot my first deer yet. But My dad and I decided to set out a trail cam around the place and see what came up....and what do you know...this ole boy showed up! [ATTACH=CONFIG]11429[/ATTACH] I know it's not a good picture...but look at the size of the deer! It could be about a 8-11 pointer. So I need y'alls help since I don't know a darn thing about deer and how they are. We live on a low fenced 240 acre plot. We use to raise cattle but we still have some places on the "56"(which is what we call it) that are very very good for deer coverage. What me and my buddies were thinking is that we take off from work or go up one weekend and plow one of the fields and plant some things in there...but we don't know what to plant. We have a feeder as well, but it's not currently running, but my buddy knows a place to where you can fix the spinner and replace all the bells and whistles the feeder comes with. Y'all I thank y'all for looking at this, and the patience that will come along with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Welcom to the forums! looks to be a decent racked deer - really hard to say anything else since all you can see is a partial of one side of his rack. Sounds like youve got yourself a nice little chunk of heaven to hunt on. I can't help with what to plant as i have no knowledge of texas agriculture other than it gets very very hot and very very dry. Im sure one of the other texas members on here will be chiming in soon and can help ya out. Good luck with everything! dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboyReb91 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thank you! And we had just thrown that trail cam up to see where some feral hogs were and this big guy comes along. We are thinking about planting some oats, sunflowers, and corn I think. Also we're gonna put up some ground blinds and build a couple as well.

wtnhunt Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Welcome to the forums. Looks like a pretty good deer from the one side. Don't know what I would try to plant in Texas, would be worth a call to your ag agent to see if they have any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
