It was a dang good thread in 2017 again and with protein, cottonseed, alfalfa, turkey and coon killing season coming up it's time to start a new one.
![]() Post up your pics and stories fellas as usual. Hunts, trail camera pics, LDPs, work weekends, new projects, food, drinks, coons and other varmint carnages are all welcome! The more participation (and last year was a great example) the better the thread. Here's to a bountiful 2018 for us Angelo area hunters! ![]() |

Trying cottonseed for the first time this year. They aren’t killing it but they are getting used to it and nibbling. Fine by me. Mother Nature seems to have put some weight back on em after the rut already so they must still have a good source. I prefer her financing my feed bill anyway. I’m sure that will change soon.

Already finding sheds in the feedpens with 4 full sets so far across the ranch from the doe and spike hunters. Seeing several deer on my Covert with them gone as well. I guess it’s not real early since it’s mid January and we usually have a few lose them by now. But it it is a larger than normal amount found for us already.... especially with their bodies being in seemingly good condition.

Yeah saw a 12 pt buck at the sterling processing last week that had both horns laying next to it. They said they shot it and when it fell they both fell off.

Anxious to see how this year plays out. I may be letting my spot go but not positive yet. I’ll still control the management (age minimum, culls, and numbers) since it’s my families property, but may be moving on to more of a trophy setting.

After my cotton seed sat for 6 months, the deer and turkey would brows through the corn and gorge themselves.

Hopefully mine doesn’t sit that long. ![]() The other two guys on my place that feed it have problems keeping it filled so I’m hoping my deer do the same. |

Filling bulk protein now haven’t seen any sheds around feed pens yet. I’ll check cam cards later.
Sure been a dry winter not many winter weeds, etc. Last edited by txwhitetail; 01-14-2018 at 01:14 PM. |

Cottonseed topped off and Buck (TXBuck74) got a Blackbuck yesterday afternoon . Deer are hammering the feed right now. All our free choice protein feeders on the ranch will be topped off in a few weeks. Deer are looking really good right now. I’ve never seen our deer’s body conditions this good.

Dang. Didn’t see this thread yesterday. Going to be a long 10 months. Got a little calling in this past weekend and ended up with a few quail killers.

Id like to hear from anyone that hunts around the Barnhart area if that's not to far. It was my first yr on the lease and seeing trophy deer on camera much less shooting them was pretty slim. If anyone hunts close Id sure like to hear if your year was any better.

I hunt South of Ozona, which isn't exactly San Angelo area, but still not all that far, and we usually don't shed until March. |
