    Freeze aftermath

    Turkey trip to a buddy’s family ranch in Schleicher county this weekend. He said they were not seeing many blackbuck and thought they lost quite a few to the freeze. We had seen a carcass here and there but drove around to an old work pen yesterday and found this up behind a wind break. Guess they tried to hunker down there and never got up.


    Lots of cows lost too but the turkey and whitetail population is as strong as ever.

          There's a reason African animals don't do good in Texas.

              I don’t know what killed those, but if that pic was taken recently, they certainly don’t look decayed enough to be from the freeze!!!

                    Hmm, that was my first thought too. Pic was yesterday. They didn’t really stink was the odd thing so I think they didn’t die recently. This place has no yotes but we see buzzards everywhere. I can figure out why the carcasses are so intact and not ripped up more.

                    Cow carcasses out in the pasture were obviously picked clean.

                    This one was just around the corner

                      I don't think that is winter kill from February

                      That was nearly 90 days ago

                      Guess it could be but would not be what I bet on
