      I have always experienced it to be Thanksgiving week.

        I think starting the second weekend of rifle season through Thanksgiving is when you will see the most bucks out and looking.

            Gary, you still with us?
            That was a hell of a rain storm we had. Saw pictures of the Llano river and have never seen it that high.

                We are headed down Friday morning. Good luck and. Let me know how the deer are moving. Action is picking up a little every trip!

                  By my cameras the last few days. The deer are really hitting my feeders hard. I’m seeing good numbers at both wireless cameras

                    We have received another inch of rain today. Water is running everywhere as the ground was saturated. Sun is supposed to make a little showing tomorrow and Friday then sunshine over the weekend. All the draws are running water and I am sure that the river will come up just a little.
                    Adios,
                    Gary

                      Thanks Gary for the update. I start my five nights tomorrow and struggling if I want to head to menad or head to east Texas when I get off next Tuesday morning . It’s going to be muddy in both places but at least I won’t be rutting up the roads in Menard.

                          LCRA’s Hydromet is a system of more than 275 automated river and weather gauges throughout the lower Colorado River basin in Texas. The Hydromet provides near-real-time data* on streamflow, river stage, rainfall totals, temperature and humidity.


                          This is a good site when looking at rain. LCRA has different rain gauges scattered around.

                          From phone click on 3 horizontal lines in top right corner. Then click the drop down menu and choose what you are looking for. Should be able to find a rain gauge pretty close to you.

                            We hunted the past weekend after receiving 8in of rain and there were forbs popping out everywhere, especially yellow wood sorrel (looks kind of like clover) which is great grub for deer. We saw some decent feeder activity but I don’t think the feeder activity is going to get really good until It gets colder since there are fresh forbs and browse everywhere. They aren’t even hitting the oats and wheat very hard at this point. I’ll take the rain anytime we can get it though.

                              Gary, I was asking about you a few posts above. ^^^
                              Water ever get up to the bridge through town?

                              Coming up for 4 days starting on the 8th.

                                Got up as high as 18 ft. but that does not put it on the bridge. The river has had a lot of rises on but right now is back down but running a lot of water.
                                Sun is shining this afternoon for the first time in a while.
                                Adios,
