Hey Ken
Just curious, do you own or lease the land you hunt?
Nice bucks!

Bill, my neighbors let me hunt on 50 acres at no charge, and my son in law has 60 acres, Roland leases about 100 acres in east Texas. Lots of land and you know someone or lease some land or both. For bow hunting you don't need much but the law states you must have 10 or more acres.
We have 3 months to hunt deer with bow and you can kill 3 bucks(2 in your county) and 4 does where I live( 254 counties in texas). Some counties have a one buck( has to be 12 1/2" between antlers. Makes it hard for bow hunting, because you have to get out of the tree and measure the horns before you shoot(just kidding) ha,ha? It is over 500 miles for me to get out of the state in any diriction? Ken

All beauties!!  Congrats to all the hunters!  Texas deer are indeed the pretty boys of the whitetails, kinda like the guys in the perfume commercials.   :goldtooth:  No offense to any of you perfume models.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Any Trad Gangers coming to Texas to hunt deer at Solana ranch or other better get ready for the deer ducking your arrow? This season the weather has been quiet and even the deer from  7 yards out are ducking my longbow and it is quiet!
I hope Terry will post the great stuff about where to hold to hit these wild Texas deer?
These deer only weight field dressed about 75 to 120 lbs and they are quick. I think it is because they are only half the size of Northern and Midwest bucks?
At 12 yards we are holding at the elbow and it hits 5 to 6" high! At 15 yards holding  about under belly behind front leg?
My bow has a SBD string and cat whiskers and is quiet! I use carbon arrows! The only other thing might be to use wood arrows?
Hope Terry will put up the point of aim he made up for Texas deer?
