Hope you get one! I shot a pig this morning, but never found it. Oh well, the buzzards and predators will take care of it. Buzzards gotta eat too, and pigs are good buzzard bait lol!! It's been crazy slow here. Summer before last they select cut our entire lease, and clear cut a 200 acre tract. Between all the green new growth from the cutting, and the acorns dropping, the deer aren't having to go far at all to eat. And they don't eat much corn here when there's acorns anyway. I guess on the positive side there are some great bucks on cam this year, but mostly at night right now. I'm headed to go on an exotic hunt here in a couple hours for the weekend. I've heard cell service is bad on the ranch I'll be on, but I'll update when I get back. Any exotic does that stand broadside will be in trouble, and of course pigs are on the menu too. I really wanna shoot a big Axis buck, but I'm poor lol. But they take credit cards.....

I tell ya, I almost don't get excited about whitetail bucks anymore. I much prefer axis. Having them on our new place is heaven! lol Good luck on your hunt!

Won't be long now boys and girls. Bow season will be here in less than 2 weeks. I've got a beach trip with the wife this weekend, then the next weekend it's game on! I've switched from compound bows to traditional archery, so we'll see if I can get it done with the longbow this year. I like the way he tosses that beach vacation out there right before Deer season. Well played my friend, well played.

No luck this evening, but have a pretty cool looking spot for tomorrow. Only bad thing is I didn't have much time to scout....but I may have gotten lucky!! I drew a compartment nobody has hunted yet. First rattle out of the box I found a good oak flat with a ton of sign about 50 yards off a pipeline right of way. Set up a pop up blind and brushed it in a little. Weather is showing a few storms in the morning ahead of the front, so I may get rained out. Even if I do tomorrow evening and Friday morning should be good!!

Yes, that front should help get them moving. Hope the storms are done before the afternoon, should be a good time to be out.

Well I saw an absolute monster yesterday evening, but he was way too far for me to shoot. Already had a young buck cruise through this morning, and that's it so far. The first 2 hunts before the front I didn't see anything. I'm gonna hang out until 10 so we'll see what happens!!

It's been a little slower than normal here in my neck of the woods. I did manage to fill both my doe tags with the ol 270 though.
