What a dinosaur. That dude has to be 9 or 10.

He was an old one for sure. Teeth didn’t show it but he was up there. This younger boy of mine always likes going after “something different”. I’ve given him the opportunity to shoot some nice bucks but he’d rather kill wonky culls. He killed this one earlier this year but the trail cam pic is his target buck this year.

I will be heading down Wednesday and hope to see some rutting activity.

Scooped out one of our smaller water tanks and we did the big one earlier. Gonna is the big one to float around in during the summer.








Stared organizing and cleaning out the shop. Tore out the old shop sink and cabinets because all they did was collect rats and mice.





Started putting lighting up and making a skinning rack because I’m tired of doing it on the front of
a tractor or over a branch.

Ordered an electric winch that I will be installing this week along with two more lights.

Ordered a stainless table and will install a hand sink.

Concrete slab will come next year with a nice fire pit in case we want to hang out over there.





Bought a Jeep from Chuy and we attached the high rack and moved it back for taller folks. We alsowelded a ASF feeder to the front bumper. A











Basically just been doing a ton of stuff instead of sitting our butts on the couch and watching TV between hunts.

We are right at 200lbs on bucks and 100lbs on does.

Finally killed a doe that went 112 this year which is the biggest I’ve ever weighed.

Started feeding cotton seed in the spring and not sure how long it takes to see difference in body weight.

SS was spot on with the new bucks showing up comment. Watching cameras all weekend has been entertaining.

[Muddy Bud]

This will most likely be the last couple weeks of good weights for us as they will soon be thinning out pretty good. Two culls taken this weekend and both had live weights of 213.

I’ve got a big 7 I may end up taking if he shows.

Things have slowed down for us over the last week or two. Same ol bucks on camera and we're not even seeing them as much as we have been.

[powderburner]

finally made it down this last weekend.

We knocked down a 6pt. 8 missing brows. Hogs and Javi all over the place.
Calves looked OK Heifers are on their last leg.
Talked to the Game warden Sunday morning as we were pulling out.
He said deer were OK. But the wet over the weekend was dang sure nice.

Our horns are WAY down. On our particular pasture we have had exactly 7.9" of rain total for the months of March, April, May, and June for the last four years. That is 16 months of prime antler growing and last year we had absolutely zero rain those four months. We have a lot of 6, 7, and 8 yr old deer because our fawn crops were great those years they were born. Just no horns! My son did run an arrow through an old buck we have let go because he was really unique. He went way down hill also but is a really neat 6 pt. Also saw a lot more fighting for this early in the year but really it was one buck picking fights (4 of them) with several different bucks. Kept getting whipped but coming back for more!
