Me and some buddies got on 1600 acres that is in far north brown county in between cross plains and rising star. The property has elevation,
Mesquite flats, lots of wheat, 12 ponds and a wet season creek. We are also feeding corn from10 feeders.
We have put a lot of time in this season including bow season and have not seen a single buck older than 3.5. We also have cameras everywhere and have only seen two bucks that we think would go 4-5 yrs.
What’s the deal? We are hunting it right and not joy riding, shooting beer cans, or acting like newbies. Lots of 3.5 year old bucks , tons of does, and your regular mix of spikes and fork horns. We see rutting activity but nothing to shoot at.
Is this common with the area? If so I’ll be shopping for a new property soon. Lots of money spent on lease fees,campers, corn, and everything else this year with zero results aside from a few does. 2700ea and Six hunters for reference
