Get in early. He's coming back

[Hix]

Toted in 3 sacks of roasted soybean mix & some golden deer nuggets. They had wiped out my piles.
I slip back in around 2:30 and see what happens.
With the ground froze over I’m betting on hunger getting the best of him soon.

[Landrover]

Oh wow.....i am liking this!
Dumb guy question as I am new to my east texas place. Are you hunting MLD or there is a special season in your area?

[Landrover]

Place has been dead all season but it’s go time now. Tagged out with 2 bucks at my farm so I’m down to my last tag.

Only get one hunt before I leave out for work but with tomorrows conditions it may be all i need, or ill get 10 days of muzzle loader when I get back in town.

Target buck showed up 2 nights ago finally on a scrape and daylighted this morning (Christmas morning). Perfect wind tomorrow and 30 Deg temps. Hope it’s happens. Typical 10 point with a small drop tine and should be 7.5+ this year.

I’ll update in the morning!

Ahhhh.........I guess it is muzzleloader season in East Texas? Can you hunt with a bow also?

It’s muzzleloader and youth only.
We can use ML only and youth can use any means or method. Doe are back on the table again too.
I’ve got one tag left and it’s reserved for this buck.

This time of year is some of the best hunting around my house to catch a mature buck starting his post season pattern. All my bucks usually return this by now, luckily he’s not broke off this time.

I am really excited for you!!! You will get him. If blowing that pine tree up did not deter him......lol.....i think it is only a matter of time now!
My place is only 20 minutes from Longview but in Smith County.....i need to check the regulations there with TPWD.


UPDATE: Just checked on TPWD......January 8 - 21 in Smith county is youth and muzzleloader also. Odd that a bow is not allowed however.....either way cool to know this for next year. I still have 12 MLD tags left in the hill country to burn thru.

[axisbuck]

They should be back soon with these temps. That blown up pine should make a good pedestal mount lol! Good luck hope you get him soon!

I’m in early. It’s a sunny 24 degrees

[Hix]

Deer starting to filter in now

[Hix]

Eyes on target

[rjet]

Get him

[Etxbuckman]

Over an hour since he laid eyes on him. I sure hope he’s in a warm pole barn skinning him out.

[Hix]

Ain’t good.. shot felt great. Can’t find anything. Backing out till in the morning

[Hix]

He came in with the big 6, a passing truck on the gravel road near by spooked them both. Eventually they came back by but weren’t coming in to the corn. The 6 started to leave and the big 10 stepped into a lane at about 80 yards. I sent it broadside. Not sure how i didn’t fold him up. Smoked cleared and I saw several doe and a buck running north. Couldn’t tell if it was him or the 6

He wasn’t piled up and i never found blood. I’ll grid search tomorrow and hopefully find him.

[lab man]

Good luck looking for him today.
