Good luck fellas.. wish I was at my lease in Leakey. Wife has a girlfriend coming in, so I’m earning brownie points. Next weekend I’ll be at Timberlake Ranch, then every weekend after that I’ll be at the lease. Have y’all been seeing rut activity ?
I hunt just North of Leakey about 10 min off 83. Between work and the hot weather, decided to wait until next weekend. Interested to know how this weekend goes from all that hunted.
Heading home from Edwards Co lease.. Got passed by a white tundra with a bowhunter sticker on the passenger side.. any of you guys? About 2.5 hours ago on 377 heading towards Rocksprings
Between my dad and I we have an axis doe in the cooler.. which is sweet! Saw a nice 8pt at my feeder but he needs 1 or 2 more years, beautiful buck though!
We didn’t even hunt this morning, my son and I hunted yesterday and did not see a deer. We had to turn the feeders down because the corn was stacking up. Acorns everywhere, never seen anything like it. 7-Miles West of Leakey on 337.
Lots of animals on camera at night all of a sudden with no pressure on them, maybe it’s just the moon.
We had deer at the feeders but they did not hang around too long. All of the bucks that were on camera in September regularly are very sporadic now. I hope it turns on by thanksgiving.
I wasn't able to go. But my dad got this guy Sunday morning. He was 100yd behind a doe. But not chasing her or anything. No chasing seen. Just scrapes and rubs. Good pre-rut activity. Rattling is somewhat productive.
We hunt west of RS, north side of 377.
AT&T is the only thing that works and we get get good LTE in spots.
A WT doe was also taken and a few hogs.
Hunts started slow. Then Sunday evening it really picked up. My dad saw 24 different deer that evening. And my buddy saw 11 Monday morning.
Buck went 152lb on the hoof. 4.5yr old 9pt
One of the heaviest bucks we've seen in the 3 years we've been on the place. We've increased protein feeding every year. Put out 30,000# this summer on 3200acres.
