2024 Deer Season

[Red Leg]

This photo from this morning is the best one that I have had on the place this year. They tend to be spindly here, but I can't stretch him more than 3 1/2. The rut will start fairly soon, so perhaps an uncle will show up. I had a great 10 pt. on camera at the end of the season last year.

I had been watching this deer on a cellular game camera. Went opening day and it did not show up. For the past week I had not seen the deer on camera. I thought the neighbor took him on opening morning. Then, he shows up mid afternoon and heads back into the brush before I could shoot. About 4:20 he walks back out and starts out after another buck (the rut has not started yet where I hunt) the other one runs off and present me a open shot and in the back of the truck he goes. Unfortunately, I think he's a little young, he only weighted 126 field dressed. I am used to in the 140's for average.

Looks identical to mine from Throckmorton County, but mine has an extra sticker point. Congrats!

No luck for me, my friend’s in-laws sold the place we used to hunt. We’ve been unsuccessful finding a lease. May go to a friend’s farm to get a doe or two

I don’t have much to offer… just a little 135 acre place that’s covered up with does and pigs, that occasionally gets a nice buck to come around.. but if you ever just need a place to sit by a fire for a weekend and bag a little venison for the freezer (doe are super easy to come by), feel free to come to Texas for a few days..

@Ryan and @Milo are you Alaska guys shipping Sitka blacktails to southern Saskatchewan? I shot this mulie with a perfect 4x4 whitetail rack this morning.

Yes, you caught me. Please butcher, package, freeze and return all the meat. You can keep the rack as a souvenir.

My hunting partner's buck on Prince of Wales island this morning. 4x4 with some cool character from a healed injury on one left side point.

Well I did 21 miles on foot in a day and a morning but can't seem to come up with much, at least of the right thing. Passed on some little forky muleys and a little basket rack 4x4 whitetail but can't seem to find the dominant bucks. Of course I bump into this guy out of season, pretty good bull for here. Hope everyone's seasons are going well

Well this is happened to a camera this evening…

Tagged a little spike on Saturday morning… been watching him on the trail cams for almost 2 months… not much to look at.. but he’ll fill the freezer a bit…

I’m pretty sure they’re on the leading edge of the rut in E TX now… we caught a little button buck trying to mount a doe on a trail cam last week, and the spike was in full idiot mode in broad daylight… we’re supposed to have a good temp drop this week.. I’m hoping they’re rutting good by this weekend and maybe one of our better bucks will step out..

Found another good one on my place over the weekend. Best buck I’ve shot in Georgia in a few years. Real pleased with him.
