I was out there this weekend for first archery hunt. Had a nilgai cow at about 45 yds, but she was behind a tree and shrub. She also came out downwind of me. She was there 5-10 seconds and bolted back where she came from - I couldn't get a shot. Next morning, I set up in same spot, but further downwind. Well, wouldn't you know. A darn nice 8 pt buck comes out about 5 yds from where I was the day before. Only thing is that he would have been behind me. He was about 50 yds away. Again, he was behind some mesquite trees for a couple of minutes. He was walking towards me, then stopped. rubbed on tree, marked his territory, then took off to the south-east. I tried calling him to stop, but he kept on going. Talked to game warden and he said they've had about 25" of rain in the area and a 10 pt buck was taken from a private ranch close by. They haven't seen much action on the roads. Deer have lots of food and water. Heard a few hogs in the morning but didn't see any. Lots of tracks. Another hunter I talked to said he saw a couple of does and about 20 turkey. Well, got close twice, but no dice. Laguna Atascosa is next. Hopefully I can shoot a stick and harvest over there. Shoot straight and Good Luck!!!
