An hour and 15 minutes into my 5-day draw hunt I killed a nice buck.  130 4/8 gross 10-point with an 18.5 inch spread.  They've got some absolute giants out here, but I couldn't pass up a deer of that quality on the off-chance of seeing something better.  I actually saw one that may have been bigger about 30 minutes into the hunt, but couldn't get a shot.  I'll see if I can get TVC to post a picture

TVC is about to post a picture of the buck I watched for an hour tonight at 60 yds. It was painful not being able to shoot him, but there was no way I could pass the one I already got considering there was no guarantee I'd see another deer at all, much less a shooter.  That being said, I've seen 9 bucks, 7 of which were legal shooters, 4 of which were wallhangers, and one of which was by far the biggest buck I've ever seen from a stand. the buck tonight was a gorgeous 10-point.  Not super wide, maybe 16-17 inches (the one I killed was 18.5), but he was very, very tall with good mass.  I'd estimate him between 145-150 inches.  Phenomenal deer.  This week a 159-inch 12-point, a 140-inch 12-point, a 135-inch 8-point, my 130-inch 10-point, a 122-inch 9-point, a 118-inch 8-point, and a 123-inch 9-point have been taken.  My buddy Dan missed a deer he swears would be between 150-160, and he's not prone to exaggeration.  This place is amazing.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
