Real mean hunt with teeth and nails. This generation is soft.

Corn is up with everything else.. I ended up getting Bucees 5.99 for 50 lb bag last year as the best price over Tractor Supply.. Theirs was 5.99 for a 40 lbs bag..

I go to fill up feeders this week and Bucees is 8.99 for the same 50lb bag and tractor supply 8.49 for a 40lb bag..

I think you win for the oldest post revival...geez like 9 years.

Man, fuck that baitin shit. Go park yourself down wind in an animal/deer trail and stalk that fucker down...

Agree. Getting protein on the ground for 6 months helps the chances of those deer trails existing in the area you are allowed to hunt..

I actually went and walked my new property on sat.

I helped the land owner set up 2 blinds out there about 10 years ago and haven't seen either one since. (he's a family friend and I was just helping out). One of them came down about 5 years ago in a nasty storm and had been sitting in the barn as a rattle snake den. The other one is still standing and has grown a cedar tree around it. I will post up some pictures when i get them off my camera. Pretty crazy to see how much a cedar can grow in 10 years. I will just trim around the ladder and shooting lanes.

Im really excited to have my first property to myself next year. I've always done public land and invites to private land in the past.

Looks like I'll be in the market for a new deer lease. Myself and a few buddies were on a nice lease in San Marcos and due to poor communication from our lease manager, we're having to get off after the first year...what sucks is this is the first year I took my 5 yr old son and he was really digging it.

If any one you plan on having any open spots on your lease, I'd like to hear about it. I'm laid back and play well with others.

Damn that sucks. Too much work involved to not stay awhile. I think everyone is gonna re up on our place in Cisco.

Ok so deer season is over, this guy doesn't really care...I am a very avid pig hunter. I put some stuff out a week and a half ago to see if I could get a new wallow going. What are some of the things you guys put out to get the pigglets coming in? Oh yeah and

I thought I saw one on a friends property last year when walking in the woods. I bought a game camera, deer corn, and Hog Heaven attractant and poured some on the ground. The hog found it that night and returned every night. I eventually put out a small feeder and it would be there 15 minutes after dark almost every night.
It loved to rub on the creosote power poles on the property. I've heard you can staple some burlap or carpet to a tree and soak it with diesel and they will do the same.
The property owners son in law killed the hog in October and now nothing but cows and coons come to the feeder with an occasional coyote. Of course on my way home from checking the camera today I saw a buck about 2-3 miles away standing on the side of the road.

Not a deer but who cares.

Yep, even youth will have to have the license in order to tag their game. Or maybe he told you and you just heard what you wanted to hear, as in selective hearing?

Nah, my brother told me it was the last weekend for youth so just get a basic license. That's all I knew.

[Lone Sailor]

Oh, that was my understanding. I don't know shit about hunting. All I know is I had to buy him a license. lol

Unless my wildlife book has a misprint my county is done with deer.

Didn't realize you were referring to only your county. Most counties have a bonus season from January 2nd through the 15th for doe and spike bucks.
