2300 linear feet of forest road leveled and seeded.

Some serious erosion damage from flooding we had back in 2008 was finally repaired as well.

Is that Sorgum on the other side of your tractor?

I know how you feel with your buck.
Last year I took a smaller buck but my brothers were there with me, having good friends to share that experience with is what it's all about!!!!

He's a nice looker

What???? I thought that was a changing room.

Congrats on that deer Jim! The Hill Country was suffering from pent-up-demand is all.

Not much hunting for me since Thursday.

I spent a lot of time over the weekend helping buds add to the score card.

A new blind set in the tall Egyptian grass produced a doe 5 hours after setting it up

I also spent time butchering and working on a Euro mount.

The cooler is a wonderful tool. I have never cut up a deer that has hung for four days in a temp controlled room. What beautiful meat was made!

I over did the heat on the skull and lost a little of the nose.

It hangs now in the yurt with others from the farm .

I was not the happiest with my shot the other night and have been in the tree stand set for practice daily. Still hitting high every once in awhile.

Friday's morning forecast is finally calling for the wind to switch to the north. I'll be up on the top of Rattlesnake ridge if it does.

varmint101 · October 07, 2015, 07:53:00 PM

Can't remember if I said anything, if not congrats on another fine buck! And that's a sweet cooler!!

Stump73 · October 07, 2015, 08:01:00 PM

Nice buck! Your projects you been working looks great. Congratulations!

LITTLEBIGMAN · October 10, 2015, 02:34:00 PM

It's been rather quiet the last few outings. It sure doesn't take long before an undisturbed deer herd is taking note of the presence of hunters in the woods.

It wasn't until last night I finally watched deer on their feet prior to the sun going down.

Today was the coldest it's been here so far. 32 F on the nose. With calm winds out of the WSW I decided to hunt up in the bedroom on top of Rattlesnake Ridge.
