2017 Panhandle Hunting Thread (5th Annual!)

[Aggiehunter08]

Ready for that cool front. Deer movement hasn’t been good today.

Buddy hunted this morning, and saw 50 plus deer. I sat same stand last week and saw 14 deer. We got 40 acres of wheat coming up this week plus cold front got them up and going. No big shooters but a ton of deer

Awesome movement, Jed. I think the most I've ever seen in one sit is 17. Cannot wait to get in a stand. Just a little over a month away for me.

We just started this plot back up about mid-summer this year after it laying out about 5 years, so it is still a little weedy. Burned down weeds with gly in July, Johnsongrass was head high. Mid August we ripped it up with a spring-tooth harrow. Third week in Sept just broadcast Triticale right before a rain. Probably should have burned it down with gly again first, but didn't. We got a really good stand on the Triticale, and the brassicas I slung over the top of it first week of Oct are coming up good too.

This is a trail going through the woods from the main plot to a feeder 75 yards away. You can see my mineral station there as well. No prep at all on the trail, just sling it out before a rain and let it grow.

nope!

I saw that a couple weeks ago, but despite the article's misleading sensationalism and not clearly explaining the zone, it only applies to about 6 counties.

It's a beautiful thing to see good rains come back to the Panhandle. Great posts, fellas. And I've been wondering when Clark was going to share his buck with us Panhandle folk.

Beautiful buck!

Clark setting the bar high! Great looking buck!

Nice! No ground shrinkage on that guy. I'd call that ground growth.

Yeah, he tends to do that.....great deer

Thanks again, everybody.

I saw a fantastic buck yesterday afternoon in my neighborhood, movement picking up around Austin.

Typically, this would be about the last weekend to catch a buck running with his bachelor group and his daily feeding pattern (at least in my pasture).

Thanks for the CWD links.
Anybody hunting this weekend?

I'll be doing the daughter wedding thing this weekend. My only hunting will probably be hunting adult beverages to ease the stress of my stressed out wife and daughter. LOL

I will be in Briscoe county tomorrow through Monday. Will be my first time to sit in a stand this year so pretty pumped both to hunt and look at pics. We are doing our game survey on Monday so with a new moon and decent temps it should be a good weekend.

[Mudslinger]

Hopefully, already passed up 2 nice bucks, but too young. Only one weekend hunted so far and all I have seen is groups of bachelor bucks, no does or bucks.
