    Took my middle boy up for the Youth weekend.
    Weather was perfect.
    We've gotten some rain.
    Once again, they emptied the 1500lb feeder in less than 3 weeks.
    Movement was good.

    Bucks still in bachelor groups.
    Doe wanted no part of coming in with bucks dominating the feeder, they were immediately harassed.
    It won't be long.

    Based on lack of older bucks, we're in management mode this year.

      Seems like the bucks are starting to split up. Starting some scrape activity near my blind this week. Wish some bigger deer would come around or some does. Freezer is getting empty.

        Congrats to your son Clark, that's a horse of a doe. Looks like a perfect weekend. What caliber is the Ruger?

          Headed up to Quanah this evening. Last weekend those bucks hadn’t split up. Weren’t interested in those does either. Very little sign and only a few bucks on camera. Need that first freeze. Seems like it won’t be this weekend.

                Well done, Clark. As always.

                And did I miss something about Mudslinger?

                  I’m in for the evening sit. Checked cards this afternoon. Bigger deer showing up at most blinds. Groups starting to be doe buck mixes. I saw several scrapes today. I’m still seeing does and fawns in the middle of the day. They are eating the green growth the rain pushed up. Fairly optimistic for the evening. Good wind direction it could use a little more. I can’t believe I’m saying that in Garza county. I will try to update. Feeder rings at 6:30

                    View from the blind. I just had a coyote sound off real close. Not the start I’m looking for, but definitely on the hit list. It would be bad for Wylie to get in here.

                      Arrow away. Pig shot before feeder went off. Cull 7 and a button buck here now. 7 used to travel with mr big. Hope he still does. Another arrow already knocked.

                        Prime time. Hopefully he’ll show.

                          Cull is chasing a very mature doe all over and grunting a ton. I’m hoping mr big hears all this and comes by. If he’d leave the doe alone I’d shoot her as well. We have history with her stomping ways.

                              If anyone wants help culling a doe or buck, please let me know. Was unsuccessful getting on a lease this year.

                                Around McLean, believe Bucks breaking patterns and moving out if bachelor groups. Partner sat tonight and had 15 does come through and no bucks. I sat same stand a week ago and had 7 bucks come through. So far I passed a 7.5 year old 135” 8 point this year. We have more deer running around this year than usual. Feel like we should have some big boys show up in a few weeks.

                                Buck I passed a few weeks ago, had him on camera a few years, first time I have ever seen him in person.
