Glad I found this thread. This is my second season on the Brewer. We had good bucks on camera late season but early season was tough. Pigs took over so we put in some feed pens around a few feeders. I'm already thinking about now season pretty much non stop! Can't get here soon enough.
Rain is setting up a good year so far. If VV keeps stacking good years it's gonna pay big time. The deer are there. Here's to hoping it's a cold dry winter so the deer hammer the corn.
I'm guessing its looking pretty green out there right now. I haven't been out since the end of March/first of April. Itching to get out there and work on some hogs and add tot he coon carnage count. I don't wanna see any more rattle snakes in the cabin though. That was a real downer for the weekend.
but it was before I got on the lease. The guys next door have seen them along the Pecos River though. I saw a huge one just off the main highway on the last weekend of the regular season in January a few years ago. Locked up with a doe. I keep hoping a good one will present himself.
I hunted mulies for 30 years north of Van Horn in the Delaware and Apache Mountains. It will have to be a gagger before I kill it.
One of the guys on our lease just down the road from the Brewer killed a mule deer last year. I've never seen any though. We were out there last weekend killing coons. It was plenty green, and they got lots of rain last week. But as green as it is, I still have several at the feeders regularly. Still learning the area, its only our second year out there.
TP3, I've seen the quality of bucks killed on the brewer in years past by my group and also the solid deer we had on camera. We were picky and only killed 4 bucks last year. However, I was surprised at the number of young pencil horned deer brought to camp by other pastures. Is that the norm with some of the other groups there?
