Deer Camp

    Where you from? I have worked all over Kentucky, Georgia, and South Carolina. The deer weren't to bad, smaller, but not tiny.

    I own a house in South Texas, now those deer are like a large dog. Pitiful to see. The rack looks nice from a distance because the deer is so small.

    Bingo! I am northwest of Houston now, hunt sometimes in the hill country out around Austin. There are tons of dear, but most of them are barely over 150 lbs.

    My house is near McAllen, and those deer around there are tiny. They are the only thing in Texas that isn't bigger.

    This is looking north from my driveway this morning. To the east is a creek that runs north and south with a deer stand on it. The half-rack was killed out of last night, and 30 does were seen from it opening morning. You can take a doe almost every morning and night as they go back and forth through there.

    Absolutely picture perfect, imo.

    lol That's right.

    The mule deer in the Rio Grande valley are decent size, but the white tails are very small.

    I will literally be counting the days. That's a really beautiful piece of property.

    Yea, as I said in the other thread, I am blessed to have what I have.

    Indeed. Plus you have kids that get to enjoy that, which is the best part, imo. I feel sorry for these people who haven't experienced that kind of living. They don't know what they're missing.

    We can meet up there, but we will be heading down the road to a house sitting on 400 acres, is fenced in, has 100 head of cattle, equipment to dig a moat around the house, and has several gun full of various firearms. thumbsup

    For sure. I grew up there playing outside day after day. I killed Russian invaders by the scores. I stopped the whole invasion myself countless times. lol

    sounds good. if we can dig a deep enough moat, we wont need any weapons

    Shouldn't be a problem, an excavator and dozer are sitting there.

    I wanted to shoot my daughters dog last night. A doe was headed my way last when her dog came trotting down the lane. Second night in a row that she let him out and didn't watch him and he ends up under my tree stand. On top of that, my other daughter thought that 5:20 was a good time to jump on the gator and take the trash down to the end of the drive and then take the scenic route back to the house. I love my daughters, but there are times that I don't like them.

    Holy smokes! How do they not know these things, living out in farm country? Keep the dogs and the equipment locked up until hunting is over.

    My wife keeps telling me I should take our lab deer hunting with me. She doesn't get it. Women.lollol

    The 15 year old (she took the scenic route on the gator) is a work in progress. She doesn't think of the consequences before she acts.

    The 17 has a good head on her shoulders. She forgot the first night, and one of the little ones let the dog out the second night.

    Daddy had a family meeting to discuss this. I doubt it helped. lol

  • I just picked up a Glock 9mm "baby Glock" today from a buddy of mine. Sold it to me for a song. I'm pumped. I've been wanting to get a pistol for a long time.

  • I'm reading a great book by one of your native boys. Meateater by Steven Rinella. Talks a lot about hunting in Michigan. He also does a show on Sportsman channel called Meateater. Awesome show.
