Have a small place in Kempner been in the family hundreds of years.

[Mastro]

I hunt Oakalla (right next to Kempner). No Axis by me. Wish they'd move my way from Kempner :-)

[686]

Here's a few pics from last weekend. I don't know how old these deer are, but I'll enjoy watching them develop.

[PROUDTEXAN]

how's the pig population going. I usually only have a few pics every year. Yesterday I saw 3 off of 580, kinda got my hopes up. Going to check the trail camera today.

[Hornet Hunter]

I have some friends who have try 380 in the last 20 days in the north west part of the county.

Our place is 2 miles south of NIX off of 580 and we have never seen a hog. We have out four feeders and cameras on 200 acres.

Just a matter of time. We never had hogs and they showed up a couple years ago. Just north east of Kempner.

[PROUDTEXAN]

Yea? I'm right outside Rumely on 3210. None on the TC yet but hopefully soon.

[PROUDTEXAN]

Lot of bucks tho. 99 more days! Lol

[Krivoman]

All of yalls pigs must be on my ranch.. covered

[MathewsMission]

I seen about 20 on my place. and 2 probably about 250LBS just about 500 feet down the road from me on rock church cemetery road

[MathewsMission]

We must be close to each other, Im between the cemetery and 580.

[Krivoman]

I am NW of Adamsville

Here's a couple pics from the weekend:

[Birddog66]

How is the greenery out there right now? Are they hitting protein? corn?

My lease is just North of Lampasas a few minutes on US 281. The place with the for sale sign.

[PROUDTEXAN]

The deer are tearing up the corn at my place right now. Kinda suprised with all the greenery

Thanks! Thinking about heading out there next week to fill a couple feeders and put out some cameras.

[mpotts]

we are green as green can be, and the bucks are hitting the protein hard. have about 30new hatchlings (Turkey) and lots of pigs. Looks like it will be a great year.

General area FINALLY got the rain it needed. Deer should be fat and healthy this year. Cant wait to pull cards in August. Probably a bumper crop of acorns in the works too. I just hope my lease does't sell between now and then. She's about a smooth mill. too high. I think we are ok this year unless she drops price mucho pronto.

edit: my contingent lease

Bucks are looking great so far and are hammering the protein. Nice to see everything green and ponds full again! We haven't had pigs on our place in years but have been seeing some decent sized groups this year.

Big deer killed in bar ditch Just past the for sale sign last Thursday. Big heavy horned 8.

[bho0351]

Do the ones in my front yard, in the middle of town count?

Don't like to hear that.

Crazy how many deer hang out in that town. Do you notice more during hunting season?

It is wild how many of the deer are "resident" deer. Lol. I see a lot of the same ones and the new crop getting raised up each year. For sure during hunting season, I do see some new ones as well. It's not a huge wave of new deer that come in, but I certainly notice the new faces.

At least once a season, usually when we are not seeing much at our lease, we will drive thru the neighborhoods on the West side of town and just check 'em out. Doesn't matter what time of day, we will always see some, sometimes a bunch.

I live on the west side of town. Lol. They're out all hours for sure.

[BGRAX]

I hunt about 10 miles north of Lampasas off 281 near School Creek. Lots of deer, hogs and turkeys according to tc's a couple months ago.

Just passed you along the Lampasas....

[jakhunter]

Made a lease trip this last weekend. Its amazing how much our area has dried out. Deer are starting to hit the feeders a lot harder. Had three decent bucks on cams and we are still missing some nice bucks from last year that we know made it through the season.

[BGRAX]

I will be making a trip in a couple of weeks to set up tree stands and a ground blind, fill feeders and check cameras. Can't wait to see the pics. We have a herd of "piebald" deer running through our place. Owner doesn't allow us to hunt them though. Beautiful animals.

[Krivoman]

I see white whitetails all the time on 281 right around school creek or Lucy. Not sure which one it is.. May be Patterson as well?

[MathewsMission]

Well season is 59 days away ������so close!!!! I wish all of you bloody arrows! Good luck

[686]

Here's a few recent pics. Looking forward to some stand time!

[Birddog66]

looking good 686. Nothing wrong with some chicken-fried turkey tenders!

Big boy in the center of pic. 2 looks like he might be a little older. Is that the same deer in pic. 3? He looks pregnant!

[686]

Yeah our older bucks have some beer bellies on this place. The place hasn't been hunted nor any supplemental feed put out in years, (prior to us getting on it a few months ago) so kinda surprised to see the weight on some of these guys.

[686]

I'm thinking that crab claw buck in the foreground of a couple of the photos will be a cull, and the buck with the grey neck is probably ready.

[Bluesman]

Nice 8 back in there!

[PROUDTEXAN]

Well look what showed up the past few days, a few axis doe as-well. I'll be in the stand the rest of the week end

[686]

Very cool! Good luck and let us know what happens.

[PROUDTEXAN]

Made it out today, saw him this morning got to about 30 yards and he never got comfortable and took off with out giving me a shot. Not a trace this evening. Did see a nice young 10 point thought. Oh well I'll try again next week.

[TexasDon]

Our place is on the river just south of Adamsville, have some promising deer this year, they absolutely benefited from the rain this spring. Very few hogs, have had 2 or 3 on cams in last couple years and never actually seen any. Had 1 axis on 2 years ago, my buddy shot him and he was delicious!

[686]

Nice deer Don!

[jakhunter]

Absolutely covered in hogs a few miles north of Adamsville. Deer are starting to hit the feeders much harder.

[Birddog66]

I've had some better deer in the past, but this is what I have right now.

[Krivoman]

I can not seem to get a nice deer in Lampasas county. Must not be doing it right.
