atthewall Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 We had a pretty tough 3 month drought in Texas this year (June - August). Concerned it was bad enough to impact the local critters and it has but not to a point they can't recover from our recent rounds of well needed rains. Hoping they can catch up before winter hits. Thank goodness winters in Texas are typically mild even when it's a cold one. El Nino this winter does bring the promise of more rain..fingers are crossed. Shot these pics roaming around a low fence ranch in Central Texas. Spent roughly 3 weekends following the scene and here are a few shot during September. Bearded Hen Free range Blackbuck (Texas feral animal) marking his territory on an open field. Blackbucks use dung piles vs a whitetail using scrapes. They always mark an area where they can see a long way and then strut around waiting on does before lighting off. Interesting and beautiful animals.

atthewall Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Re: A few Pre-Season Pics The drought may have taken it's toll, but this is the key to helping the herd. When you scout land in Texas to hunt game, here's what you need during those summer months. Several miles on either side of this water source, the game continues to thrive.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Re: A few Pre-Season Pics Great series of pics. Gotta love the abundance of wildlife in Texas. It was dry in West Texas too until mid-August, then the Pacific monsoonal flow finally made an appearance. Its green and lush out there right now.
