Set up feeder today. Alot of new growth and brush on my area. Will be setting up stands next weekend. Hot day.

Looks like they found the corn... Still really hot, so only daylight photos on the couple cool mornings this week.

That didn't take long

Has anyone done any good hunting ducks, dove, squirrels, or rabbits on Georgetown in the past few years? And is the small game permit easy to draw?

Found out about the deer draw too late, but mainly a duck hunter anyways and looking to expand my options.

Haven’t personally duck hunted Georgetown, but can tell you last year early season while sitting in my deer blind, hundreds would fly over at a time. Fairly low too, so assuming they were coming off the lake.

There are ducks on lake Georgetown. You may have to use boat to access a huntable spot. Dove hunt is vary. One year, I saw and got few limits, but others didn't do good.

Same here. Did it yesterday at Double G. Going Sunday morning to put up my stand and pull cards from the trail cam around my feeder. Just started seeing a group of about 5-6 doe show up at my feeder between 6:45 am and 8:30 am on Monday. Hope they have gotten used to the feeder there and keep on showing up!

Checked feeder and camera this morning. Just one big hog so far

If sunflowers are up dove are decent. Can only duck hunt down the river channel basically. You can scratch out a few but it is slow. Lots of ducks in the main lake and coves but off limits. It is nice to duck hunt there though as there are not 500 people on a shoreline

Thanks for the duck/dove info

Just sent you a PM - I picked the same spot and then found your ribbon a few weeks ago. I'm set up SW of you a bit.

I’ve got a nice group of does that’s been visiting my set up.

Im a bit confused on aging a doe. Sounded like Brad was just saying dont shoot one thats small enough to carry out in a bag. Is there really not a more scientific way? And if i shoot one thats 2 instead of 2.5 what happens then?
Also do we gotta wear blaze orange at gtown? Sorry if these are stupid questions...

He was joking about if you can carry it its definitely not a mature deer. They age the deer by lower jaw bone. A 2+ year old will have had its replaced some of its juvenile teeth. But the volunteers aging the deer are not experts, they do the best they can.

A 2 year old deer would be 2.5 because he was born the summer before hunting season.
