Finally gettin back at it today.. No clue what's been coming in or what stands are hot since I've been at the rig the last 4 weeks but I'm gonna be there anyway


Was up at 3pm yesterday then worked all last night and still haven't had a nap so it'll be tough but I'll manage

[Bone Thug]

Good luck, Bobby.

This week, I've seen a lot of young bucks and a fair number of does. Not really seeing the big boys during day light. Going out this afternoon to brave the heat.

Man I just now saw this! Wasn't searching TBH all weekend. Heck of an deer! It takes a lot to make an 8 score in the 50's! Congrats!!!!!

Well it's official.........looks like we were off 4/8" on campscore to official gross score.
Congrats to a truly special 8-point,Mike!!!!

Excellent

Some dang nice bucks killed so far. Congrats.

So when will we start seeing more daytime cruising by mature bucks way out west-Big Lake area in particular? So far movement is pretty minimal outside of normal feeder traffic and most of that is young bucks. I've been told the rut is first week of December so I would think movement would start picking up here pretty soon?

When is the peak of your rut? Is there a difference in rut dates, from say Christoval/Eldorado to Big Lake? I know we hunted around Junction for a while and our rut was always about Thanksgiving.

It will be the same as what you had in Junction for the most part.

Changes in latitude generally change the rut timing. Length of daylight.

Ours is Thanksgiving day! Lots of mature deer cruising around +- a few days around Thanksgiving! This is 10 miles east of Mertzon.
