Any one have any updates from Houston cou
nty

I hunt in Houston county and what I have seen and heard from others is that there is not much going on up there. I usually see 2 doe in the evening hunt and that's it, but Monday morning I saw 8 doe. not sure what that was about. no bucks though. other then that not to many gun shots so I think its a slow season.

In our area of Houston County, the bucks are definitely back together and trying to make up for those lost meals they spent during the rut. I've seen more bucks over the past three weeks than I did the entire season up to this point. I took a nice 12-point a couple of weekends ago, and jumped a nice 8-point last week while walking back to get my ATV after shooting a boar.

If you see a buck now, he'll probably have some company.

I hunt right on the Houston trinity county line and I haven't seen a decent buck all year. I'll be up there for the last weekend hopefully I get something

The weather is expected to be perfect guys, with cool days and cold (at least for us) nights.

It's so slow with many people still out at work, that I'm probably going to take Friday off and hit the woods a little early.

I was up there on Monday to check a few things on our place and noticed that the deer are finally hitting the corn hard as well as the oats/clover I plant. My guess is the colder weather had a lot to do with that, but based on tracks and camera pics, they are out and moving again. I had three new bucks on camera that I have never seen.

You hunting any food sources?

corn and an oat patch

we saw a few moving tuesday to friday, a few daytime buck pictures, but they shut it down for the weekend

wow Dan. where in Houston county do hunt? is it a high fence or just a regular fence?

Low fence.

We also feed year-round and have done so for a while now.

Must have heard people coming after them.

Them deer have us patterend. They are all over my place Mon-Thurs and gone Fri-Sat. The darn hogs have gotten smart and doing the same as well.

See does every hunt but more in mornings and hitting corn good. Bucks are slowly starting to show there faces again....after about thanksgiving the bucks went underground..just like every year . It's best to get your buck in the first few weeks of season here in Houston county. At least we have a muzzle load season and by mid January the bucks will start moving during daylight again.

Huntfish- Is your oat patch fertilized? IMO you can pull some deer off of the others if your is fertlized and the others are not. Won't help much for hunting this year, but there is always next year.
