Well I saw a guy in the spot I had picked out in the pasture on 11 and didn't wanna crowd him so yesterday I setup on a spot that I could use my bow at. Didn't see anything this morning so I went to my truck to eat lunch real quick and nobody is out here and there are no blinds or anything setup so maybe he moved or never ended up setting up here. I setup my popup facing the tree line in a good elevated spot in the pasture, so hopefully I do better here. Definitely using my gun in this spot though, wish I had brought something with better range than my 30-30. At 100 yd it starts to drop and just gets worse the further away the shot is. Right now I'm trying to make sure my blind doesn't blow away since its so rocky I can't get the stakes in the ground properly :-).

2 deer shot all weekend (1 doe and 1 spike). NO hogs. There were tons of animals, but all moving at night. Weather was rough.
We had some fun hunts, and it's beautiful country. We were on hunt unit 7. We never saw 1 deer while scouting or hunting, and we hunted HARD. It's funny that you mention the coyotes. We never said anything to the biologists about them, but we were covered in them, and they looked REALLY healthy. We had 1 literally touch the popup while we were sitting in it. He caught a whiff of us and all hell broke loose. 5 coyotes ran 250 yards up the hill. About 5 minutes later the alpha dog came right back down the hill and straight to the blind, passing 20 yards in front of us in the wide open. Wish i had a camera running.
I'll try again next year.

I heard what sounded like 50 coyotes all howling at the same time just was I was leaving Saturday night. Viper glad to hear you shot something, I wish I had gone there Sunday too after all. I got to Granger and the wind was so bad I wasn't willing to take my boat out in it, and by the time I had driven all the way there and back home to drop my boat off I was too worn out to drive to Balcones after. Well congrats, and it was good to meet you.
