deer hunting

[pmkkdx]

I just got a chance of a lifetime dropped in my lap this morning ... my bro in law leases out about 50,000+/- acres low fence free range up in the TX panhandle and then subleases out and guides hunters for high $$$ for monster TX whitetails & Muleys (b/c 160"<). The first couple of weeks of season were extremely hot and not all the hunters took a deer, leaving a couple of whitetail tags open that he offered for my son, son in law and I to go up and hunt between Christmas & New Years for free in exchange for us helping him load and haul stuff back. I have always wanted to hunt up there for a wall hanger monster but couldn't justify the $$$ with all my other hobbies (and my current central TX lease). I am stoked if we can get the group planned out around the other activities during the holidays...

good deer management late afternoon yesterday ... my son and i took two more nice does ... we had over a dozen in the food plots all around us ... they are both xmas presents for friends ... off to the garage to start butchering

Before I got my 9 pt, I botched a 25 yd shot on a heavy, tall 8 pt. I saw it two more times, but never closer than 50 yards. A friend of a friend got it during shotgun season, probably 200 yards from my spot. It scored 166".

Here is Bruce's (14) buck from last evening .... he was in a tree stand in an open field of food plots ... he saw him walk out about 200+ yards then waited (patiently) for 30 minutes until he was 125 yards ... one shot from the Weatherby 240 mag loaded with 85 gr Barnes Triple Shock bullets dropped him in his tracks!

Needless to say it was a great day. Bruce passed a slightly smaller buck in the morning ... good hunter ...

Ha! We can show pics of dead animals, but not ones of plus sized 'models & girlfriends' in bikinis. I don't get it.

If deer wore bikinis then when I'm hunting it would be "a perfect world"!!!


2yourlake---shooting doe's is true hunting in my book!! They are whitetail and have that great nose like any buck--- I think they are even sharper, cause they have to raise young ones and keep themselves out of trouble---bucks only have to worry about themselves...I'd rather eat a doe any day. Some great deer in this thread!! I hope to get one more chance in the woods this season, then it's on to waiting on turkey season!! And what follows spring turkey??? BOATING season!!!!!!! :-)



Dog I don't get it either!! I mean she wasn't that bad!??!??? I mean mike205 must love her!??!?? since he wants to keep her all to himself.....:-)

She's actually on her way to his house as we speak. He got pretty jealous when he found out that Kyle was popping the stinger to her too! No wonder he deleted her pic TWICE! He needs to learn to control his feelings!
