No category for me. I took pics and looked for culls. So it was a total success just being outdoors.

No category for me either..I've had to work all weekend running around ranches checking oil and gas wells..I have however seen alot of deer.

I saw about 50 doe all very young. Tons of doe had twins too. About 15 4 pointers. 10 6 pointers and 3 8 pointers. All deer were only about 1 to 3 years old.

The neighbors have leased their land for 6 years to some out of town hunters. Ever since then each year the deer are younger and younger. Then one guy had to talk to me and was an a hole!!! I swear they shoot everything legal. This year I will be there every morning and weekend and watch them closely for illegal activity. Pissed me off!!!

I've had a great weekend. We have eaten some awesome food, spent stress free time with friends, drank cold beer, and as a bonus shot a nice buck. Good times

My season doesn't start till Tuesday...

No category.....saw quite a few deer, just nothing I was looking for!

Mine hasn't started so it has been lousy, gonna get better though next weekend

Mine starts the Monday after Thanksgiving. Have two days off,Monday&Tuesday.Best days to be in the woods. So darn many hunters looks like a pumpkin patch in the woods. Floresent Orange mandatory. Still love it though!

I seen two deer all weekend two 8 points they where both hanging in the skinning rack other than that nothing Oh well I get em next time.

Took a decent deer... Saw some deer, I'm more upset I saw 2 hogs and they're still alive.

No category for me, saw lots of deer, just didn't see the one we (grandson) wanted, it was great, whacked me a hog with my bow.

Runnels county report - just south of Winters - lots of trucks, heard some good sounding hard hitting shots- saw a total of 1 - 4point buck Sunday morning, other than that - wind had em laid up i guess (am hoping), cause didn't see shart! it was great to be out there though!

I am hoping for a great hunt in December, Houston boy here, hard to get all the way up there on a whim.

Hope they come back, the deer we have seen are pretty poor, but every now and then a healthy one comes on cam.

No category for me. I saw 9 yearlings at the feeder Saturday. No bucks or does. Sunday we saw nothing. One guy stuck an arrow in a pretty good sized hog Saturday afternoon.

Somewhere between a 3 and 4 for the guys on my places. I should also say gals because one of the wifes took a hog. Considering that most of 2011 was the Year From Hell and all the wind yesterday, this seems to be a good start.

no catagory for me either I'm moving so been packing/cleaning all weekend

Voted best buck ever, but I didnt shoot one my daughter did. So that don't fit but the 5 does.

I saw 8 total deer. 3 doe, 3 spikes, 2 fawns. I invited a friend and told him he could shoot anything that wasn't a deer. He ends up seeing the buck I'm after this morning. I chose the wrong blind. haha At least it's early. I really hope the neighbors don't get him first.

Forgot to mention that it sounded like WWIII on our neighbor's ranch. I must have heard other 30 shots from them this weekend, including at least 10 shots on Saturday night around 11pm.

I spent the opening weekend with my best friend. He may not have too many left in him so each one is special regardless of the deer hunting.

Slow weekend in Live Oak Co. About 40 deer total, 1 young 10, 1 nine about 140" and some decent 8s. Lots of hogs and more turkeys than I can shake a stick at. Did get some good trail cam scouting done and will be back next weekend. Need cooler less windy weather.

Did end up harvesting about 30 miller lites and shiner bocks.

I saw deer, just nothing worth shooting.

My son rattled up an 8,10 inch spread.I rattled up an 8 13-14" spread,my brother saw a 10 pt but a young deer.Shot a hog with an arrow stuck in it's jaw.Good weekend all around.

I'd say 7.5 to 8. Tons of activity, saw a couple of shooters, but couldn't get a bead on either of them.

Even had 1 last buck run across the road in front of us as we were filling the feeder on our way out.

I mostly spent my time watching the deer and trying to assess the condition of the herd. Surprisingly, they look like they are in pretty good shape. The range conditions in McCulloch County are very poor. We need rain in a desperate way.
