Decisions. Decisions. Watch list for next year.

Amen. I can spoil them and let the kids straighten them out.

The way Logan hunts for Easter eggs, I may have my work cut out for me teaching him to hunt. Maybe I should teach him to bass fish instead. LOL

I guess that means you and Jen are comming over tonight. What we eat depends on whether it's just you and me or all 4. Maybe some of Landrovers wings.

If AJ gets any bigger, he'll size himself right out of my equation. I get him about 56 to 58 up and mid 90's down, with about 38 inches of mass. Hopefully he stays where he is, flies under the radar, and gives me a chance. I'll have several months of pics to see him and the others.

Nice little herd there Doc.

[tuthdoc]

These are the "middle class" population. You ought to see the bucks that read TTH. LOL

Was playing with some cameras to check them out before putting them back out in June and found a couple more AJ pics and one elk. This is AJ's home feeder and one of 5 now that Elk has visited.







Gives you an idea of the width of AJ. I'm figuring around 97 up. If he leaves this feeder and heads to the other feeder, he goes right by my tripod.

as always, some fine animal posted by TD

Well,,,,, any current pics of the deer?

[AggieBall]

great pics. 1st he is hanging with hogs. not sure if I have ever seen that. Not that close together.

I just got back from the ranch NE of Laredo. This was our first month to start hunting for deer that we want to hunt this next year. Two of the above bucks, Elk and AJ, were pretty much 1 and 2 on my list. Disappointment.

AJ's right side is a mess. Only thing I can figure is that he hurt himself after February, or that a hog hunter shot him before he lost his rack and it didn't kill him. I hope they give him another year. He'll be at most 7 1/2 next year. Hopefully he'll get his rack back.

Elk really is messed up. If you look back on the first page at the last pic of him in his initial picture series, you'll see how poor he was. He's a lady's man. He ran himself downl. I was afraid it might affect him this year since he was so poor late in the year, and my fears have come to fruition. He looks to have his big, high frame, but his right side is basicly a big 6 point. I'm going to try and get them to give him a pass. He's not the biggest buck on the block, but I like that high frame. Hopefully he doesn't get put into the cull/management buck pool. I'll lobby for another year.

He hangs with AJ. It's strange that they both would have similar problems the same year and at the same age.

What a bummer! maybe it's something in the protein?

Potbelly Pig looks pretty good. He's a solid 10 this year. Long brows and good points. Still narrow. Still heavy. He has moved up the list. I do have TC's of a good deer that's come out of the blue. I tried to get video of him, but nothing much was moving and my tripod sits resulted in sightings of two skunks and a 5 point. The deer I'm looking for is basicly a 9, but may have a really short 4 on the right. He has double split brows. Maybe 150 class. I'll be searching long and hard for this critter.

Here's the pig
