was seeing the deer in the fields in the evenings a while back...thats slowed lately have been seeing them regular on the early morning drive to work....ive only got pics of a single doe and her fawn on our feeder...a lil off from last year when i just scattered the corn on the ground...seemed to get way more pics this way...but there are some big peanut fields nearby that im thinkin probably have the deers attention right now. Hope some of the young up and comers that cruised through late last year show back up for a sniff around while im there

[hortonhunter22]

Hosed again at rivercreek,even got me on adult/youth hunt. I guess I'll just go sling arrows those two weeks. Did get second hunt again at silverlake with no priority points .I'm thinking they can't give that hunt away. Anybody have any luck on first pick?

 

[hortonhunter22]

man if ya want to go to river creek you will have to decide up front and not apply for any other hunts...you will need at least 4 priority points i would guess. The chances of getting the december hunt anyway...i hear ya can get that early gun hunt with only 1 or 2 rejections. its kinda hard to wait that long, especially when ya have other places around that you could hunt the rut on a quota and probably get a nice deer if ya put your time in. They kill some nice deer at silver lake every year. but ill wait it out at least one more time...after that my boys will probably be ready to start chasin after em, maybe, and we will start goin somewhere with more deer

First sit of the year tonight and I was on the deer. Got busted by a spike when he crossed below me instead of above me like he was supposed to. After he blew I found out there was at least one more with him. Oh well, I'll take it for the first sit.

 

[hortonhunter22]

For all you Thomas county guys, when is the "time" to be in the woods? We've got some land right on the Grady/Thomas line just off Hwy 84 and I'm just wondering if a difference in a few miles could make that big of a difference in how they rut compared to our land that's closer to the city limits of Cairo? Its usually mid to late December there.

 

[GAMHUNTER35]

wish this wind would lay down lol
