CHILDRESS COUNTY HUNTING

HEY WE LOOKED AT A LEASE JUST EAST OF KIRKLAND I WAS WONDERING IF ANYBODY HAS HUNTED THIS AREA. IT IS NORTH 287 AND HAS ALOT OF WHEAT AND SOME HEAVY BRUSH. WE SAW 10 DEER 2 TURKEY AND HOG ON THE PLACE WHILE LOOKING AROUND.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

It was just a "fluke". No deer up there,....Gotta' go south for real deer hunting.

I FIGURED THERE WOULD BE MORE PEOPLE HUNTING AROUND THIS AREA WITH A LITTLE MORE INFO

i just got asked to get off my spot in kirkland because they want family only on it . a slap in my face for ive known these guys for years , guess you find out who your real friends are. but as for deer there are some monsters there my friend, no exajeration. lease it if you can, and if you need an extra guy let me know thnx

dont lease there, pass along info to me though!

Good area. Just be real careful on trying to hunt too many folks on the property. You need a lot of land per hunter up there because of the deer density and hunting pressure.

Exactly!

lol

sorry.

thanks guys we leased it and hoping for the best

HEADED OUT THERE TO MOVE STANDS THIS WEKEND AND START FEEDING SURE HOPE THERE GETTING A LITTLE OF THIS RAIN

Our place in Hardeman County got rain today so maybe Childress county did too.

Used to Hunt Collingsworth County.

HUGE deer. Biig Body deer, there. Near Wellington.

Good Luck,
Shane

Hunted the area my whole life. The deer are still good, but quality is going down. Too many hunters taking too many 140-150 deer now days. It will soon go the way of the Albany area. Once a place gets known, its over.

Its sad. I am looking for new uncharted land now. Trophy hunting is best in areas that are just getting established and before they get inundated with hunters.

Absolutely! Guys have come up there and just shot the hell out of the three and four year olds because they havent seen 130 to 150 inch buck before and the herd has gone significantly down hill!

Preach it brother. I sat and counted 8 towers within sight of my stand last December. When I put that thing up in the early 90's There was not another stand on our place or in the surrounding areas. I didnt see another tower until 01 and then the floodgates opened.

Yep in 97 when I started hunting up there never saw another stand, now I see em on every piece a dirt in the area, if guys had self contol it wouldn't matter but that will never be the case a young buck with a solid rack steps out and they can't help themselves, then they come in to the taxidermy shop bragging bout what a trophy hunter they are fun to watch their face when they figure out they just just shot a three ur old buck

Waaaay too many hunters in the area.

Idiots try to hunt it like the hill country - shooting out everything and stands every 500-600 yards. We drive by a pasture going to one of our places that we leased in the past and gave up on several years ago that is slightly less than a section of land.

When the "new" hunters invaded that property two years ago they put up 7 stands on that property and had the hunters to fill the stands - are you kidding me ! Totally ridiculous. That section was good for one trophy every other year - at best. Totally ruined the place. I blame both the landownder as much as the hunters in that situation.

Our landowner is good we only take one or two a gear off 4000k acres and are very particular, and have had years where we shot none, and he has 8k more acres on side for himself and the other side is surrounded by 16k highly managed or we wouldn't have deer, if your gonna hunt the panhandle you need to be patient and prepared to not shoot it is not the area for guys he think I paid I am shooting! And really burns my arse when they shoot a ten that scores 130 and they passed an 8 that scored 140 and was mature, I see it all the time in my buddies taxidermy shop, we sit around all the time laughing at some of the stories it is cheap entertainment.

thats what we are there for is a true trophy not 130- 145 3 year old. hopefully we will find some. what about mule deer in that area are they just few and far between. well all stands are up, corn feeders running, and all the protien they can stand. we saw a few deer but it was the middle of the day and we were trying to be quite.

Guys this is my first year to hunt in Childress. Been feading since first of April or at least until the wind emptied all my feeders. have camera's up and are seeing good deer numbers. Even have mule deer coming to corn which is odd as we hunt in Sanderson and they will not come to corn there. I am one of the guys you are talking about that has never seen a 140 or 150 so i am trying to do everything i can to know each deer on camera to judge correctly when the time comes. Mostly there for my kids. Was very surprised on the amount of hogs up there. They are everywhere. We have shot 10 or so in 3 short trips up there. Any advice you guys can give on the area would be greatly appreciated. i took the do not shoot babies to heart. Thanks

They mulies will wear the feeders out!

If they find a feeder the will wear it out and it's worse with protein feeders!

I have always been amazed that people say mulies wont come into feeders. They wear mine in the panhandle and SW KS out!

Down in Sanderson over the last 8 years we have never had one come to a feeder. When we got our first pics back from Cildress we all just sat there staring.

Oh by the way the stuffed jalepeno peepers at Jackson's in Childress are worth the drive. thanks

Pretty much all mulies!

Wt and md together

Josh and I watched this sucker for over a mile as he crossed a green wheat field and then a wheat stubble field to come into Joshua's pen. Battery died in the camera or I could have few 100 pics. He and his does stayed for over an hour.

Wow thanks. Keep the pics coming i love them. You guys have plenty of pigs also?

Yep! And I hate em!

A couple Joshua has killed the last few years.

Awesome. Here are a few of the monsters we killed back in April. There is nothing like hunting with the kids. i love it.

good pics
i hope them ule deer like the protien keep um coming we have plenty. we arent afraid to get rid of them pigs either

BIG DEER!!!!
