There’s the crawling into it part. They quit using it and now where that scrape was is thick Chinese privet. I’ve just shifted down to another spot along the same trail.

We hunt in western Polk near the Trinity County line. Around 1400 acres and up to this point we have only taken 2 does, two culls, a spike, and a 130 class 9 pointer. Not seeing many deer either. This year is shaping up to be way down. Anyone else in this area experiencing the same thing?

Same. We've take a whopping 3 does off our place, and no bucks. The weather has absolutely been a huge factor in that I'm sure.

Yup our numbers are low out in northwest Polk. We are going to get together with the surrounding leases in January to talk about raising our population. We will be getting a trapper in come February

Hunting elsewhere during the rut is a huge factor... now it’s time to kill those bucks.

Oh they’ve been coming to corn, and in daylight. Just been hard to get out there with all this freaking rain.

In fairness we have a club rule that prior to the general season you must shoot a doe before you can kill a buck that saved the lives of at least 2 bucks. One of those happened to the lease boss so theres a pretty good chance that rule won’t exist next year.

You know I’ve been trying like hell. I’m leaving tomorrow like you, gonna try it again.

There is no shortage of hogs anywhere in Hardin County

[AndyMane]

Headed out to camp in Hardin Co. this weekend to do some work around the lease. Who else is doing Social Distancing the way the good Lord intended??? .......in the woods!

[AntlerCollector]

I filled feeders this past weekend. Saw a few deer running around while I was out there.

[Grndchecker]

I went up Wednesday to pick up my camper and get the four game cameras I still had running. Limited access to some areas because I was in my truck and the loggers destroyed my road in. Sure is green up there. Mayhaws starting to bloom.

[AndyMane]

Decided to head to the lease this past weekend to put out 2 new feeders and start building our cook shack.





We decided to keep it simple and use pallets and 1x6's we hauled off from work. So far I'm into this for the cost of a box of screws!

Next time out we will add the roof and more storage.

Hows the deer movement in Hardin Co? Made 2 sits last weekend , didnt see a **** thing.
