Every week it's like you get to see a new deer they grow so much. I've been running coon traps because they are so bad so I'm checking stuff daily at times. The growth in one or two days is even noticeable . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Normally i have two or three target deer. this year Im at 8 and still expecting a couple more. If we get those 8 on the ground...it would be the best season we have ever had by far.

This will be our second season after absorbing a "problem child" lease next to us. We're expecting good things after a lackluster season last year. I sure hope the Trinity Cafe gets finished up before the season. Fire was the best thing to happen to that place. ![]() |

It's the Saturday closest to Oct. 1 every year. Sometimes it lands in Sept, sometimes it's October

Well...we generally have good luck getting our target deer killed. I agree that all eight would be over the top but these deer are ALL deer we have passed before and deemed killable. There are several more that come and go not included in that number.

"You can't manage small property"

I have a feeling this will be a great year for us.
I just secured 400 acres next door to me that has had almost 0 hunting pressure for years. The previous guy that was hunting it one or two weekends out of the year got booted for not keeping up the place. Now its mine to roam and hunt as i please. Only problem is the landowner prefer me to not use cameras. I thought it was kind of weird, but i have known him for a long time and trust he isnt pulling our chain and day leasing or anything. He is the only one that uses the place and he doesnt even like to hunt. There are lots of deer around the property. Saw a group of 6 bachelors while riding some of the trails yesterday. Two are questionable. The rack says shooter but i want to get a good look and age them. A third one is undoubtedly a shooter in my book. Got a good look at him to age. He looks like a buck i aged last year at 4 and his rack has grown substantially. The other three were all too young to worry about. Guess i will have to do this the old school way and do all my scouting from the ground prior to setting up any stands or hand corning. Will be a challenge without the use of cameras |

I'd have a discussion with him about the cameras. Maybe cook him a steak and have a few years pictures up. Discuss the importance of using cameras to dedicate target deer so field mistakes are less likely. As far as the new property goes and very little pressure. It won't take long to change that if you're not careful. ANY intrusion is pressure to them if they haven't been conditioned. I'd try to find the thickest 15-20ac on that piece of property, feed heavily on the fringes, and never step foot in it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I plan on getting together with him about the cameras a little more. As for finding the "thickest" part of the property, i'm not sure i know how to approach this. I mean the ENTIRE property is one giant thicket with several trails running in and around the whole place. Best thing i can think of is locating an oak flat in one of the bottoms. This type of property and situation is completely new to me. The way things are laid out, its tough to stay out of a certain area. Example, getting to the barn where the tractor is stored is in another part of the ranch. There is a power line easement that runs parallel with the driveway. His cabin/weekend home is in the far back. He hired me and my father in law to build a new road system so we had trucks/tractors trailers and heavy equipment running back there for the last two months. I also have been running the tractor on all the trails to clear fallen trees and mow. I don't think the deer are fazed by it much. I suspect the property will go on the market real soon. If you have a few free minutes, i would like to PM you and get your thoughts on this. I should have some pics of the property lines someplace. |

Mine are finally showing up on hand corn and hitting it hard. 50lbs a day nearly.
Got brow tines? ![]() ![]() Pretty sure this is a 8 I've been watching for 3 yrs now. He's a slow grower and doesn't have a lot of tine length. Hopefully I can arrow him this year. ![]() Last years pics of him. ![]() ![]() Last years July velvet pic. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It never takes them long to find a new corn pile. Not the guy I'm trying to close in on, but a little something to look at.

Looks like the one on the left has been around a while. Still waiting patiently for my hit list deer to show back up.
