So what have you killed this year?

I had a shot at a spike tonight, but he was forked on one side and the other side appeared broken off. While texting the game warden at the park to ask if I could take the deer, I looked up and there were two does at 15 yards staring at me. Needless to say I did not get a shot at ANY of the deer. But it was encouraging that I saw some at least.

Called in a 8pt on Nov 13th and shot it really fun hunt.   Daughter who never hunted before killed her first deer ( a spike) while I was gone to get the truck. Nov 28th .  As soon as I left 3 deer came out... 2 made it back to cover one took a dirt nap... Craziest thing had my two 20 sumtin daughters in the stand with me day after thanksgiving.. sat from 6am to 10am... left to get the truck and when I returned they bound out the stand saying, "we got one !!!!!!!"  Yeah Right.... then the youngest handed me my binoculars and there it was dead as a door knob. Prince family had a good year!

 

Sad thing is we only took 3 deer off our 1100 acre lease.  I say sad cause 9 members did not even get an opportunity.  Just very very low deer sightings. I hunted many days many stands..... extreme caution to wind and scent and only saw 3 deer all season long... my brother in law has not seen a deer in 3 seasons.. now he only makes 3 or 4 hunts per year.  but is this typical for east texas and if so why ?  And will killing fewer deer as Campbell timber has prescribed increase deer sightings over time. Since enacting the 13inch rule ( Which I like) 2 or 3 deer killed on our lease has been the rule not the exception but deer sightings have not increased! The good news is I am usually one of those two or three members each year.

DEER

Lots of rain and green grass but still saw plenty deer corning.  Took a Doe opening weekend of bow season. Shot 2 more doe in November.  Then finally took a 5.5 yr old 8 out of the gene pool late December.  3 Hogs by bow also a Javelina.  Have 4 good bucks pushing over 140 that we let walk on our 2nd year lease.  Potential is there just got to stay focus and get our buck average age up plus bring the doe population down to a 1:1 ratio.

 

DUCKS

Teal season was lights out like always.  Didn't really hunt that much this year but when I did 1st split of regular duck season was good with bags of Pintail, teal, spoonies, and occasional greenheads.  2nd split slowed, most of the birds in the marsh by then and I hunt mostly rice fields

 

GEESE

Haven't shot the first one.  Had opportunities but got greedy trying to let them make that last circle.  Expect to put some on the ground come February

    • And you have that right But Gun to your head and you had to vote for biden or trump.  Who you picking?  
    • After listening to a podcast from the Michael Berry show yesterday, interviewing the lawyer that led the fight to the Louisiana Supreme Court, it changes things a bit. St. George was never part of Baton Rouge proper. According to Louisiana law though, the mayor of Baton Rouge was automatically the president of the parish which I believe is roughly, the equivalent of the county judge in Texas. So the mayor of Baton Rouge had control of the city and the parish  simultaneously. As such she had control over Baton Rouge and St. George, but without having to provide city services to St. George. According to the St. George lawyer, Baton Rouge could have annexed the St. George area at any time but apparently chose not to as they had access to that tax base but did not have to provide any city services. So St. George decided to create their own city but not by separating from Baton Rouge who had some control over them even though they were not within the city limits. It kind of harkens back to taxation without representation. We want your money but you don’t have a say so in how we spend it. I guess St. George had their own mini revolution. The Baton Rouge response was something like, “how dare you use state law to create your own city and take your money away from us!?” 
    • Yeah, but to the ignorant people, it gots to be Trump or nobody.    But let’s be honest… “border security” and “Make America Great Again” are just thinly disguised pleas for the racist vote… which apparently he has locked up. 
    • If you are basing it on the environment that we now live in due to extreme liberal policies that have molded everyone s thinking then yeah it seems ultra right but when the goal post have been moved so far left that the middle is now actually old democrat then anything right seems ultra. have you been one who Has been molded over all these years of liberal environment? Have you been desensitized to such ways that now you just accept it? early in my younger voting years I leaned libertarian but usually voted R for major elections.  But as time went on and I became wiser I saw how society was changing and the forces that be were using Ds, Ms, I s, as well as Rs. i didnt vote trump in 2016 primaries. I ll vote for trump cause who else is there and come 2028 I ll vote for someone else who is not a D. Trump will be a thing of the past for some people but will still live in the heads of many Ds and probably some Rs.  
    • Better find a turf field for this afternoon or Saturday morning...Good news is that teams have until Monday to complete this round.
