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

      It’s kinda weird…

      Just to expound a little further, so you are not confused...I, along with so many others, are laughing at your desperation. You are working overtime, nay, double even triple time, trying to convince normal people Trump was bad for the country. His policies provided for peace all over the world, low gas prices, low food prices, energy independence, closed border, low inflation, record low unemployment, and on and on and on. You try to counter this narrative by saying unemployment skyrocketed on his watch. You said this knowing full well the unemployment rate went up due to Covid. Your narrative is just so laughable, to the point of side-splitting hilarity. Who would even attempt this asinine narrative? Now, even if you get past the utter stupidity of that MSNBC talking point, you provide another side-splitting hilarious tidbit of evidence to back your claim of Trump being bad for the country. You actually tried to tie the stock market going down to Trump...after Covid. You, I, and everybody else knows the stock market was flourishing under Trump...until Covid hit. This argument is just as bad as the other one. Again, who would even attempt this narrative? The only thing you could remotely muster that had any sliver of truthfulness, is that spending increased. Sure, Trump rebuilt the military and gave them a deserved raise. But he also had to shut down the government due to Democrats demanding an even more, and very detrimental, increase in spending. And in a true extremely exaggerated fashion, you proclaim that spending "skyrocketed". Again, who would even attempt this narrative? I think I can smell the desperation. Do you have any other whoppers to contribute?

      The AD's job is to win in football. Everything else is window dressing. If the football team is winning the rest can go up in smoke.
