After hunting Sonora area my whole life, it looks like we are finally moving out of the area. Tough decision, as it was a great lease, and this is the first year that we killed Axis out there. But a bigger, closer, lease with bigger whitetails is too good of a deal. Sure wanted an Axis before leaving though. Good luck to all you Sonora guys. Maybe ill find my way back out there.

Just for y'alls info San Angelo Pellet has %17 protein for $7.50 pr bag. And for you guys hunting closer to central Texas my buddy is opening a new feed store behind Tri Supply in Temple and will be selling Lyssy and Eckel feeds I think he said %20 protein was $10.70 pr bag and he's opening Febuary 1. In my opinion Lyssy and Eckel has the best deer feed . And I think Rafter W in Sonora is $10.60 on protein.

And Bowslayer it looks like from the # of Audad your feeding you may want to make a trip to Angelo ! I know when we hunted the Devils River we'd fill feeders and set cameras and those dang things would set up camp till it was all gone. People that talk about how bad hogs are ain't hunted around Audads much.

I'm rooting for you Millman! I sure hope next year turns out better for you guys than this year did. This rain should definitely help the bucks begin to recover from the rut.

Thanks brother! Our bucks may not be back this year but within the next couple we will grow some good ones! Heck with a year off hunting we got the cows looking good and if the deer don't work with us we will at least have plenty of steaks!

I am searching for a lease for myself and 8-10 other management minded hunters. I know a lot of people are looking but it doesn't hurt to ask. We can pay up to $2000 each for the right property. We are hoping to find something in the Sutton, Kimble or Edwards counties area. Any help would be appreciated!

My wife and I took our camper up this weekend and set up one feeder running corn and milo. Saw a ton of whitetail and some exotics along with a good # of turkeys. Hoping to get some protein out when we come back to set up the rest of our feeders and stands next weekend. My brother (TXFirefighter_04), my cousin and I will be looking forward to this season and hopefully many more.

Moral of the story is, if in Sonora, when you look at the end of a rainbow, there's not a pot of gold. There's a protein feeder.

The landowner stood it back up and filled it. He also added a large rock to the top of it.

Bowslayer I assume your using one of those cameras that sends the pics to your phone. If so give me some info on it . Like what brand ? What kinda charges to your phone ? How do you set it up ? And do you have any trouble with it ?

Its a Spartan GoCam. Cost is about $12/month on AT&T. They are pretty easy to get set up. I built an external solar/battery set up for this camera and haven't had to touch it since June. I love seeing all my pictures as it takes them. I can also change all the settings and take pictures on demand. |

I agree 100% It's been a long time since I've been as excited to get on a place. We've not seen too many exotics, but hoping axis will be making an increased showing in the area.
From what I've read, it's best to feed protein starting the next few weeks and continuing through late summer, is that correct? |

Bow slayer - every one of my feeders has at least 1 big rock on top for that very reason. It helps a lot. You're lucky to have such a helpful landowner!
Sackett - definitely doing the right thing by starting protein now. The deer need it now to recover from the rut and put some weight back on to finish out the winter. The does will eat it now thru fawning season and the bucks will really hammer it during velvet. Most feed protein from Jan-Sept. Others (myself included) feed year round. My deer still come to it regularly during the season and there's always exotics that will come to it. Hope this helps. |

Bowslayer, looks like you made your own corral panels using square tubing. Curious how tall the panels are and what size tubing you used. Do they pin together? They look great!
