Been a slow year

[Gherkin05]

I live and hunt on a small tract in NE Blanco Co. We’ve had a few decent bucks on camera but haven’t seen many from our two tree stands or out of our elevated blind. My 13yr old killed a mature buck as a guest at our neighbors on Cypress Creek.

I post this to say I will hunt through next weekend and hope to see a mature buck. But we have to learn from each season. Time to think about food plots and changing blind locations. This “slow” year is a good thing, we’ve gotten lazy. Time to changes things up.

Here’s the one buck I’ve taken. He had a dislocated right-rear hip. He’d of been a nice buck at 6yrs old.....all part of it.

Happy 2019, I love the pursuit.

Thanks gents- 27yrds on home turf, I better put it in there or I’ll catch a rash of chit [emoji23].

I would think blanco would be loaded with deer and some exotics. Nice deer and even better shot.

We do have a lot of deer, we’re very fortunate, don’t get me wrong. We only have 53 acres but it’s surrounded by 5k of low fence, managed in many different ways. I’m not saying we don’t have deer we just look for 130”+ 6yr old bucks to take. We have plenty of doe for the freezer. Only my brother, my son and I hunt here.

I may have not been clear with my OP. We need to change what we’re doing. We’ve hunted the same sets for three years, our biggest mistake, I’m guessing.

2019 we’re going to change things up.

Thanks for chiming in. Any advice/recommendations appreciated.
