I hope that doesn't mean they are laid up with does already. Sunday morning I must have watched half a dozen bucks chasing does north of Loving. It was like a deer speedway around my blind with bucks chasing does in my food plot, in the clearing and thru the woods. The does weren't receptive yet, they just wanted to eat but the bucks wouldn't give them a moments rest. Shoot, it got to the point that if there was a buck in my food plot or at the feeder - the does would let their yearlings come on in but they'd stay back and not come in till the bucks left. I'm hoping it's still going on when I get back out there this weekend. I saw only young bucks chasing - not the big ones I have on camera yet. Earl If the rut is happening north of Jermyn it must be one of those were bucks don't chase does.lol. Saw 6 does this afternoon and no bucks..

I hunt south of Bryson an Santo, have some awesome bucks on camera. They have been chasing does since around 10/11. I have rattled in 11 bucks for hunters that we have taken down. Only 4 off the lease, the rest on a ranch in Santo. I don't know if its just me, but the horn development this year is really good. I have seen some of my biggest bucks to date on camera, only at night. Growling grunts an ticking tips is a killer right now early, then just a good old fashion horn bustin during the day. Good luck guys, stay in the field.

281 N of 2190. Saturday morning full moon early and at 0830ish wind blowing like crazy. Saw 8pt moving to fast to check AR's, then had 3 doe stop at feeder. A few seconds later the old 8pt with 17.5 in spread showed up.......He's at the processors.  BTW - Game Warden showed up too! No big deal Very polite & professional. Got pics, but I can't figure out if it's my computer or photobucket....can get them to load to photobucket but I'm working on it.  Here it is.... 45-70 at a bit over 110yds!

We are't seeing as much at the place in Jack County as we are at our place in Young. Usually one or two young bucks a hunt - maybe a doe every other hunt or so. I have some really nice bucks I've posted on this thread that occassionally show during shooting hours but never when I'm there. There is a 6 pointer that shows practically every hunt..I hope he keeps up that habbit next year as a big 8 or better. The turkey are coming almost every day. I'll take one after I get back to hunting after Thanksgiving weekend.
I did take an 8 pointer yesterday in Jack. He's not as big as I had thought or wanted - he was chasing a doe hard and I had to make a decision quick. I did not take a deer last year so was antzier than I should have been.
My son did take a nice 17" inside spread 8 pointer in Young north of Loving Saturday evening. Pics of both are posted in a seperate thread on Loving/Young County 8 pointers. That's my sons's best buck yet and is going on the wall for him.
Oh yeah, how happy have you guys been with J&J Processing in Jacksboro? We took my sons buck to Clear Fork in Graham which we've used for years, but I took mine to J&J - figured I'd give them a try. They did have more options than Clear Fork - jerky sticks, german lins, hot links, giving some of them a try. The fellow I talked to there said that the person that opened it last year didn't anticipate all that went into the business so they contacted him to help out - he being the processor in Graford. They've been running things since bow season last year and are thinking about buying the operation from the owner.

Okay, hunted from Friday evening thru this morning. I am stumped. I had at least two hunts with a hot doe in front of me but only young bucks were chasing her. I keep waiting for the big boy or just any mature buck to come in and take charge but no. Still seeing does with fawns and have yet to see a doe and a mature buck paired up like I would expect during the rut.
Hunts seem to also be pretty much all or nothing. Seems like all the deer move or none of them do. Still better than last year. But still a lot different than Val verde county. Oh but so much closer.

To make it better it was my first buck ever. I was packing my bag and about to get out of the blind when I saw him. Nice 7pointer. Got to share the experience with my kids and that made the night even better.

Please remember to go by Diamonds off the square tomorrow and register for the big buck contest. We are giving away some nice prizes and have the supplies you will need in camp.

Jacksboro is on the board! Had a young man bring in his first Buck. If you get a good one bring it by so we can fill out our leader board.

Another terrible weather weekend. Still not seeing mature bucks while hunting or even on cameras. Still seeing plenty of does with fawns. I just don't get it. This is only my second year in jack and last year was whack. Thought this year would be better. Wonder where all of the nice 3and 4yr olds I let walk last year are. I'm starting to think every year is strange in jack county.
