Latest I have ever punched a tag in East Texas, just a broken up old man that I have passed twice in early November then had a close encounter around Thanksgiving where I almost shot him with both my daughters in the stand. On what was going to be my last hunt of the season, possibly the last ever on this piece of property, I decided it would be a fitting end to this chapter.

Not a giant by any means but a mature East Texas bully of a deer. Every time we saw him he had broken more off. Riley my 6 year old has logged a little over 50Hrs in the stand with me this year. We shot that deer today from the same spot I killed my first deer 25 years ago. With any luck we will get to keep the lease long enough for her to get her first deer in the same spot, but if not we went out on a high note and will find somewhere new to keep it going.

Hunt when it’s perfect and usually get 4-5 sits per property a season and I feel they are done
You can’t hunt small property the same as large tracts. And even then big land is useless if it’s getting stomped through weekly and offers no safe zone

Originally posted by Low Fence View PostAll of my properties are small. 40 acres or so. On 40, I MIGHT hunt and penetrate 5-6 acres. The rest is off limits. I probably average 1 gun hunter per 15-20 acres. But they blow them off their property by 2nd weekend. I hold the deer, but still don’t mean they are huntable. I only

1. Should I continue to run the corn feeders or should I shut them off after season?
2. Should I try protein?
3. Should I burn the property or let it grow? It is pines with a lot of underbrush. A tornado in 2017 wiped out most of my hardwoods and the underbrush and briars are so thick you cannot walk around in it.
