    2019 Panhandle Hunting Thread (7th Annual!)



    OK boys and girls, you've been waiting for it...let's get this sucker started!

    It's time to crack open the 2019 Panhandle Hunting Thread as we lift up a quick prayer that it will be a great year. Amen! We've had some great threads in past years, and I'm expecting the mature age classes to be a bit better quality this season.

    And I actually get to hunt this year! My daughter shot her first deer in 2016 at 11 years-old and this year, my son has reached the same age with the same intent (he's the 4 year-old holding my hand in my avatar). Cannot let Big Sister show him up so he's chomping at the bit to fill a tag and fill a clear space on his wall with some taxidermy.

    Please post all your panhandle hunting observations, successes, whatever... The season is just around the corner.

    Best of luck to all the Panhandle Boys and Girls! Here's to a safe and successful year! Godspeed and safety to all!

    P.S. Don't forget that some counties have new ARs for mule deer this season.



    [Cue: the requisite disclaimer... it's almost SOP]

    NOTE: Occasionally, some folks have wandered into the previous years' threads in hopes of exerting influence on how panhandle deer hunters should manage their herds, and belittling those who disagreed with their opinions, i.e., shooting does, or not. Those posts were reported and removed.

    While that argument may have merits in another management thread, it has no place in this thread. Like past years, any hostile posts (management or otherwise) will be reported and removed as the mods see fit.

    Let's just keep this thread about soaking up the great outdoors, enjoying time with family and friends, and counting our everlasting blessings. Of course, LDPs are always welcome, if not mandatory.

            We had 30” of rain between Jayton and Rotan at our place from Jan thru June. Unreal growth on grass weeds and forbes. Never seen it this thick but it is drying out so rain is definitely needed. Looking forward to see if it a better horn year than it was last year. Past year was disappointing for sure.

                      Nice bucks Mike.

                      Took my boys up last month and it was green.
                      Things looked great.

                      Here's a few pics from camp and a couple TC pics.

                        Your bucks are looking good, but that frying bacon picture wins............

                        Best of luck to you and those boys this year.

                            I do, but about 2/3 closer to Memphis.
