Well, we got another 2.2inches of rain this week, which puts us at 13.25 inches for the year. This is the wettest spring we have ever had. Can't wait to see how the antlers look this year.

Same for my ranch. Lots of rain, and no Protein/ cotton seed consumption. Double edge sword. They have plenty to eat, but the protein content in what they are eating is not as high as the protein/Cotton seed . Love the pictures. great looking place.

Thanks! It seems to get better and better every year due to all of the work we have put in over the past 5 years. They have definitely slowed down a bunch on the supplemental feed (protein & cottonseed), but I will take lots of rain and low supplemental feed consumption vs no rain and lots of supplemental feed any and every time.

Picture of San Saba River - 5/13/2016
Here's a picture of the San Saba river on our place. It's flowing really well and is really green out there.
Let's hope that the pecan and hay farmers in Mason don't pull so much water from the river this year since we have gotten so much rain this Spring. Last year, even after a record amount of rain, they still sucked the river completely dry in our area.

I don't think I have ever been there and not seen 20-40 deer from the gate to the house. We saw 5 all day. They are def fat and happy right now and no need to move around.Last edited by bgleaton; 05-18-2016, 04:12 PM.

5/29/2016 Update
Well, my dad was at the ranch this weekend and it looks like protein consumption has increased big time. We were out there two weeks ago and they have since eaten around 600lbs out of each feeder in that time span. Here are some updated trail camera pictures. The does are really big and ready to pop and the bucks are about to start growing some G2's.
