Official deer hunting thread

I know personally two people that have seen mountain lions. Never met anyone in Texas that has seen a bear here.

I have personally seen a mountain lion back in 97 I want to say maybe 98, me and the guy I was with both shot at it, but not sure if we hit it since it ran off so fast. The shitty part of the story is we were out rabbit hunting...so if we did hit the damn thing it was with .22s. Now on to the bear thing, there ARE Black Bears up where I hunt, the guy who owns the land next to our place was telling me and my buddy about the state releasing them to try and control the wild pig population. Haven't seen one of those yet though.

Sweet, on the bears. Had no idea that they were releasing them. I was down in the river bottoms on Monday and it was evident that the hogs were way out of control as, in one location, there was a 100'x100' area that had been freshly rooted. Had to get the hell out of there as I had my bloodhound with me and there was no way I could have gotten him out if we ran across them. It had rained the day before and there were more tracks than you could count. Where we were was within about 100 yards of where I had tracked them to the previous year, though I'm sure they move around a good bit...

I was just sitting here considering taking a couple days to go hunt, but i have to get my dads car done this week (hopefully) for his birthday (12/12) which means I'll probably miss the rut completely !

Damn sleeper...you're tearing it up. I ended getting me a small buck(spike). I know not very many will take that shot, but I did. Was only deer that I saw. Got a decent amount of meat from it being that small. We cleaned it up and cut it up there at my friends shop on his land. Was my 1st hunting trip and it was awesome. Wasn't too bad waiting out in the trees in the cold as long as you're clothed up.
