    Terrell County Hunting

    Just making a new Terrell County 2018-2019 thread for all of us that prep, feed, and hunt out there.

    We will be hauling our first load of protein out the last Sunday of February.

    Changes/Additions for me this year will be:

    1.) Adding a set of CoonHoods to my protein feeder.

    2.) Moving my broadcast feeder outside and away from my feeder pen in an attempt to coax in some pen-wary mature bucks that I have seen and allow for the whitetail and muleys to feed apart from each other.

    3.) I'm also going to quit mixing corn with my protein and feed only L&E from the protein feeder all year.

    4.) Going to add another game camera.


    I have three bucks (if they made it) (one WT and 3 muleys) that should be absolute studs this fall.
    I think I love watching them grow on camera almost more than I love gettin' a shot on them while hunting!


    Here's to the Terrell County 2018-2019 season.....DILLEY-DILLEY

      Bad mojo to post pics of my main target bucks. Seems to work for others just fine, but EVERY time I do it, it ends unsuccessful.

      Hopefully (God willing) I will be able to post trophy pics come December.

      Just the way I do it.....

        I'm glad you started this thread. I'm kinda on the fence about an issue-whether to put up a protein feeder in addition to my corn feeder or not. I was going to buy a timed unit because it's a 5 hour drive one way to fill feeders. Additionally, I'll be the only one on 4k acres using protein, and the overall cost is a concern. Additionally, there's a bunch of mouflon/barbado/black Hawaiian friggin' sheep that I don't want to feed. We probably killed 30+ of them this past season, but one of the neighboring hunters said he had 30 more hanging out in his canyon. I said "choot 'em" and he didn't want to shoot during deer season.

        Anyway, I'm considering protein feeding, maybe another camera on a different feeder (I'm the only one running cameras), killing more sheep and pigs, and working on building a bow set up for my feeder.

        I'll be headed out the last weekend of February as well to fill feeders.

            My main target, we have only seen him in daylight hours after the season. They are smart.

                He looks like he's a 3 year old. If you can hold off for another 2 years, he'll be a brute. MD don't really get good until they're about 5. Nice deer. Probably 22' wide with some good forks.

                  I gotta try and get out to one of those ranches to kill a ram. I need a set of curled horns on my trophy wall!


                  Feeding protein was the best move I ever made out there. I wouldn't go back to not, now after seeing the results.

                      If anyone needs any help on any of these Terrell county places(shooting animals, fixing pens, filling feeders, etc) I'd be happy to make my services available . That area is a place I'd like to try to spend some time in and find a lease on while I'm in NM.

                        they get really good at 6 and 7


                        mule deer really need age....great thing is they can get hooked on the protein and if you put the feed to them they can really pop.


                        That is a good buck

                          Unfortunately I don't have any MD on our lease. I see them driving in on occasion, but never on the lease property. I used to hunt them north of Van Horn for 25+ years and I sure do miss it.

                              really good at 6-7 turns into old giants at 8-10. Hunting old muleys gets in your blood and cant be shook......
