Tonight between 5:00 pm and 6:30 pm: I saw 7 does, one very young 6 point buck. A covey of quail that came in to the feeder that looked like penguins, so fat their little wings just stuck out, two cardinals....oh yeah and a partridge in a pear tree!

The hunters saw more but this weekend just from the porch I saw over 100 turkey. Half a dozen deer (too far to tell what mostly does) 1 hawk, 1 armadillo, 1 llama (do they count?) All different kinds of birds,rabbits.

Mostly turkey around the house because the rancher is feeding corn, so too many sheep no deer. Evenings bring the turkey back to the roost and dove come in for water. Deer were all over the place this weekend, good at the blind as well.

I have hunted in my stand 16 times this year and I saw a 9 point for about 1.5 seconds, 4 point about the same 8 doe which I saw 7 of them in 1 day. Burleson county

Went to burnet at my buddies lease in 1 morning saw 3 8 pointers and 3 doe. Im ready to get a shot off. I do not have any doe tags so I will only get to shoot a spike or an AR buck (13”), getting pretty desperate at this point. I have Monday and Tuesday off this next week so I can go for 4 days and hoping to see something then.

I NEED A GOOD LEASE!

Sometimes nothing. Been a really bad year in acorn country.

One interesting thing. A couple of weeks ago I was sitting on my wheat patch in the afternoon and watched a Siamese cat a little before dark.

Zavala county

usually see between 15-30 deer, about half of those does and yearlings.

a slew of 3 1/2 year old bucks, some older, managment 8's.

if i'm lucky i get a glimpse of an axis walking thru the brush



For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

For the last three years that was exactly the same luck I had in Montague.

When I go to Bosque I have seen up to 7 in a morning. Maybe 1 to 3 in the afternoon.

I'll let you know how Anderson county is after my first hunt there this weekend. All I expect to see are hogs so a deer would be bonus and tasty.
