How old is ME now?

[Low Fence]

9.5 is my estimate. First started hunting him in 2017 and called him 4.5 then. I’ve seen him just about every season from a stand…. Just wrong trail or wrong scrape line. Every time I’ve seen him in person he has not walked past a camera except the first time

Hope ya get him before he dies.

Is honestly rather him die that the new troll THATS tried to move in, by 100% tracking my truck. He will put enough pressure on him to change things for sure. May be the reason he’s off his normal routine anyway

It’s almost as much fun honestly just to keep him alive in the gauntlet he’s in. Lol

Amazing with the drought this year he’s still alive

[Low Fence]

I got water, I got food

Fawns took a beating but I’ve got more deer than ever on all my properties. He’s showing some age now. Lol he’s basically a rectangle with hooves. Lol

Nice flyer buck. The trail rider not so much.

Pretty sure it’s the same guy. Didn’t put up our trespassing signs or purple paint earlier this week when I took the box blind in. We’ll update then go the GW route if he shows again.

Especially after meeting them face to face and shaking their hands! After tomorrow it will come to an end I promise that!

I doubt that people seem to struggle with being told no.

Gotta love east texas, the good and bad! Atleast he is on a horse, keeping it natural

[ElfEyes]

Any of y'all had much luck hunting over scraps? I've set a few cameras up on them and they go cold. I assume I've left too much scent being careless.

There’s a difference in scrapes. This time of year I see a lot that get hit one time and never again, I assume just bucks cruising.
Then there are other scrapes that are there year after year, those I have had better luck with.

[Low Fence]

Phone got lit up this afternoon with pics of “Main Event” @ 7:45 pm!!!!!! That puts him under my stand in daylight if he took trail he appeared to be on!!! Hog ran him out of pen 20 minutes later but he came back. Condition look great for
Sunday evening. As of now that’s my plan!!!



Good head on shot today….. he’s bigger than I thought!

I’ve hunted coyotes over scraps

I know what you saying…scrapes

I tried a mock scrape & so far nothing is active on it

All my major scrape activity in daylight anyway is August through mid September. It’s non stop

Typically A taped made along a trail year after year are a good indicator of natural travel…. Though probably dark. Random smaller scrapes and ribs are often made out of frustration and may never see a deer the rest of the season

I hunt an area…. And if it happens to have scrapes and right be good! If not I’ll hunt it vs sitting over one at any time of the season. You might get lucky….. but the odds are not in your favor

Lol dang phone. I think I attract coyotes anyhow. Every year it seems I have some come through while hunting in the national forest.

Some parachute cord stretched real tight about 7’ high on a two track would just about right.

[JhuntsAlot]

Suppose to have a pretty good front coming in next week. Calling for low in the mid 30's on Wednesday in Houston county.

Going to head to lease for the week and hopefully see some good daylight activity.

Glad it ain’t just me I’ve had people park outside my house several times and follow me over the years. How sad it is isn’t it

“ME” triggered a camera at 7:02 this morning. But with this wind it’s impossible to even enter the property. TOMORROW though….. cooler and perfect

[Snowflake Killa]

Back at it again

I’m waiting on the cool front & hopefully some rain
We got a little rain this past Wed night & I chanced it on planting my food plots hoping for more rain tomorrow into Monday

[boy wonder]

I know a guy that was shown some trail cam pics of a BIG buck. He went and knocked on doors and got permission to hunt close by. Put out a corn pile and killed said buck…….180+ in North Texas.

All’s fair in love, war and deer hunting.

[Low Fence]

Don’t like the weather conditions AT ALL. but I’ve been in tree since 3:00. 3 new scrapes since rain stopped around noon on old road bed walking in. I could hear a buck making another rub/scrape within 40 yards of me but can’t get a visual. Small 8 and a goofy spike live 24hrs a day in the area but who knows

ME was at feed pen 3:30am. Tons of deer last night. None in daylight on camera anyway this morning

Gityasum!! Mine are on acorns right now it appears.

[BarW]

Hot and slow in San augustine county. Not a lot of acorns but I'm watching some whiteoaks that are dropping a few.

Hopefully that cold front next week gets some things stirred up.

Anyone know which part of Jasper county the 170" came from? I know of a mid 60s killed on the south end of the county.

Same at my lease. I did find some scrapes this weekend but they'd obviously not been touched for a while.

I am thinking outside the box (literally and figuratively) and now have a climbing stand positioned along an old logging road where two SMZ's intersect. One of the SMZ's was littered with fresh rubs, and that's where I found the aforementioned scrapes, so I've got a camera watching the road bed now. I'm pretty darn excited to get back and see what shows up.

With my luck though it'll be a 2.5 4-point or something.

[Javelin]

Guess it’s my time for trespassers and poaching. I am hoping they didn’t shoot this buck but it doesn’t look good [attach]1106031[attach]1106032[/attach[/attach]

[AgHntr10]

Wow! Is this on the new place? Hopefully they just bumped him coming in
