Trying to dig some deep roots in this one. Been trying to get to this area since 2009 but never had an Opp. One finally came a knocking so here I am.

Really missed my west tx homies!

I have a feeling this lease is gonna be a good one.

txwhitetail · 02-14-2017, 07:37 AM

1.5" on my wheat in Sterling Co.

bgleaton · 02-14-2017, 07:54 AM

Should be a great start for the year. We normally don't get much rain during Jan and Feb, but it's been above average for us which is a great sign. I'm hoping this will get the forbs and all of the food plots growing again.

Brett C · 02-14-2017, 07:55 AM

Excellent rain !! Gonna be another great year

KactusKiller · 02-14-2017, 08:02 AM

Yep yep

Smart · 02-14-2017, 09:08 AM

Great timing for sure after coming out of the season in pretty dang good shape moisture wise.

8pointer · 02-14-2017, 12:08 PM

Just heard we got 1.5" in Christoval. I was going to top off all protein feeders tomorrow but now I'm going to wait until next week.

KactusKiller · 02-14-2017, 02:15 PM

Any rain totals in north irion, sterling, watervalley area

KactusKiller · 02-14-2017, 02:28 PM

Well that figures........well maybe I got a little.

RRagan83 · 02-20-2017, 07:56 AM

Had a good weekend at the lease just north of Eldorado. Found a few sheds. Topped off water, Cottonseed, and protein. Trapped 3 more coons, and had time to sneak in a evening hunt and connected on a decent Black Buck.

bbqfan5909 · 02-20-2017, 08:04 AM

Very nice Robert!

KactusKiller · 02-20-2017, 08:08 AM

That's what you call a great weekend!

KactusKiller · 02-20-2017, 08:40 AM

Looked like most of the rain kicked up at San Angelo and east. Did we get much west of town?

I had 0.03" SE of Water Valley.

KactusKiller · 02-20-2017, 08:55 AM

That's what I figured, look like most was to the east

elliscountyhog · 02-20-2017, 10:18 AM

If you guys know of any GOOD family type guys looking for a place out our way have them get in touch with me! Looks like I may have a couple openings on my new place.

TildenHunter · 02-20-2017, 10:22 AM

Congrats Robert. That BB looks heavy. Looks like be bled just a tad!

Just a sprinkle WV west out of that last round.

I missed your post on that last rain but we ended up with 2.75" out of that two weeks ago.

KactusKiller · 02-25-2017, 10:12 AM

I was out there wed and it looked like the primary was in high gear but of course it still looked like winter time. The ground moisture good so everything should start getting green soon.

RRagan83 · 02-25-2017, 10:34 AM

Need 8-10 acs planted a few miles north of Eldorado the field has mesquites popping up the bigger ones are a few inches in diameter nothing real big I got video and pics of the field anyone interested or know someone willing to prep and plant the field I am wanting to get it going soon

KactusKiller · 02-25-2017, 11:58 AM

X2 may have 10-20 acres near watervalley that needs the same

Smart · 02-26-2017, 10:01 PM

Lowered some corn feeders for easier filling, filled feeders and water, killed some coons, brushed in turkey ground blinds, did some camp repairs, installed a new throne and set up my Covert Code Black. **** productive weekend but we are all beat!

Oh yeah... and we grilled some superb Azteca seasoned Tablitas over mesquite..,

KactusKiller · 02-26-2017, 10:07 PM

Bet y'all are but those are some great weekends when they are that productive and still fun!

Weather sure did cooperate!

My protein hasn't been touched too bad but cottonseed is getting hammered so refilled all my hoops and did some road clearing and water line repairs after getting a little crazy with the road clearing lol

A weekend trip to Gods country does the soul good!.... I just got a new all season feeder and it's wayyyy taller than I had originally planned, but didn't have a way to shorten legs on hand and had a lot more feed to put out. Next trip out, I will be cutting those suckers down some, climbing up that high every time will beat you down quick! Especially when it's 15 times. Lol

KactusKiller · 02-27-2017, 06:57 AM

Fill my 600# stand and fill for the first time last week, man it was nice and well worth the $$!

LostHawg · 02-27-2017, 07:55 AM

Keep me posted. I have a 2016 I just bought from a member here and I planned on taking it out there. Hopefully you just forgot to screw the antenna in

Jzoch · 03-02-2017, 02:51 PM

Ready for another year gentlemen!!! Made a new set up on the lease in Water Valley and have some young deer that I'm really looking forward to seeing this next year. Good luck to everyone!!

Jzoch · 03-02-2017, 03:03 PM

This is one of them I'm really looking forward to seeing what he turns into this year.

I moved one of my setups South to the other side of my draw last month as well. It took me a few years to figure it out a little bit. They summer on the North side (where I was) and migrate to the South when deer season gets rolling. I'm really excited about this new setup.

Found one side of the big 8, he dropped close to the feeder last weekend. Hopefully I'll find the other side soon. He's the one I can't wait to see....Hoping he blows up this summer.

LOL....It's in there... I tried both antennas and it was working pretty decent when I left although I had to jump through hoops to get it logged in. I'm either dealing with a bad camera, a bad SD card or the hole I am in won't allow consistent enough signal. I can change the SD card....but I can't fix the rest..

Jzoch · 03-03-2017, 06:53 AM

Working on a new bow blind for the lease. My version of a Krivoman, haha. Going to add some Deer View windows and put it on a platform at my new set up.

The Crippler · 03-03-2017, 01:42 PM

Lease partner went out this week to fill protein feeders and found this poor guy. Hate it when that happens. This is the only feed pen we have, no livestock this year so we should have just taken it down.

Smart · 03-03-2017, 02:12 PM

Bummer....I hate that . Can't say you didn't give him a spot low enough though. Did he get hung up on one of the nipples created by the panel cutoff? I try to take those down as low as I can with a cutoff wheel or grinder to help prevent that. I had a young buck get one caught in his leg joint

Ronnie · 03-03-2017, 02:24 PM

I cut this one out a while back, when they run a strand of barb wire over hog wire its pretty much no differ

ent than a trap. pretty sure this little fella was ok though

Ronnie · 03-03-2017, 02:27 PM

cut this one out a while back, he hobbled

around a little while then hauled boogy
