      I would target that big mature old 8

      You got that 11 at 5.5?

        It's very difficult to get native deer in that to hit 150.
        We hunted 1100 ac in Blanco for 20 years - saw 4 killed 1.

          Congrats on the buck & the plot is looking good.

            Yes, we have the 11pt at 5.5yrs and are going to give him one more year.

            Here are the bucks we are targeting this year, which are mostly culls or bucks past their prime:

            This is an old 8pt, probably around 6.5yrs+. We have pics of him going on 5 years and he goes from 7-points to 8-points every other year. Never seen him in person.

            This 11pt is 8.5yrs+. We have pictures of him going on 6 years as well and we thought he was 3.5yrs the first year we saw him. He looks younger and younger every year.

            This is a big bull of an 8pt. He is at 6.5yrs+ as well. Lots of history with him as well.

            We have a lot of great looking 2.5yr olds through 4.5yr olds that we are excited about. Just trying to remove some of these older bucks/feeder hogs.

              Well, it doesn't look like it's gonna get much cooler over the next couple of weekends. I was hoping it was gonna get cooler this next week and more rain would come. I hope the food plots hold up. We got 1.7" of rain on one plot but it seems that it's going to be in the high 80's for a couple of weeks without any rain. This is where I wish we planted with a seed drill and had some good thatch on top of the soil to preserve moisture. We'll see how well they hold up over the next couple of weeks.

                FarmLogs shows we got 0.40in of rain last night. I hope that's correct bc the plots needed it with these high 80's/low 90-degree days recently.

                  I monitored that shower that popped up just west of our place, dusted us then went right over the San Saba towards your place. I don't think we got much out of it though. There was another good rain just at the Menard/Mason county line that went north.

                        10/24/17 Update

                        We shot a couple of does this past weekend and I shot an old 11pt that we have pictures going on several years. The 11pt looked younger and younger every year and he never had a big body:

                        We think this is the buck that had a growth on his face in 2012, which we though he was a 3.5yr old back then but who knows. Here are some previous years pictures of the buck i shot:

                        We found one of our 10-pointers dead in the middle of a field. before I saw his teeth, I thought he was a 6.5yr old based on previous years pictures, but his teeth look like a 4.5yr old. Here are some pictures of him over the past couple of years and a picture of him in velvet this year with poor body condition and a picture of his teeth:

                                Thanks! I wish the big bodied 8pt came around for one of us to shoot but he didn't show last weekend. Maybe next time.
