We will be hunting a newly opened pasture, the Cut pasture. It is located just south of the Waver Tree pasture and staying in the Will Rehm camp house. Looking forward to just getting out in the wood again. It's been a few years. I have been recovering from knee replacement surgery this time last year.

Talked to Ava yesterday in advance of our trip next week. She said some good deer have been seen but none in bow range. So many acorns, the deer are not coming to corn yet. Good luck to everyone out there. Seven days and I'll be out there seeing what I can find. If no shooter buck shows, I will gladly take a doe.

I rattled up a very nice shooter 8 pt Thursday morning down in a low area behind my blind. Couldn't get him to stop and when he did, all I could see was his butt at 18 yards. Friday morning the same buck walked by my blind at 6:36. Too dark to shoot. Ten minutes later he walks by again going back to the area he originally came from, again too dark to make a good shot. Never saw him again. Tried to stir his curiosity again around 8:00 by rattling again but it was a not go. After a few rattling sequences I looked across the oats pasture and with my bare eyes at 200 yards away could tell there was a big buck standing in the oats. Glassed it. Big heavy horned 10 pt following three does around the edge of the pasture. After a few minutes he followed them off into the brush.
All in all it was a tough hunt as you well know zookeeper. Deer early in the morning and late in the evening but they were definitely showing signs of starting the rut Friday morning. Looks like my buddy and I missed the pre-rut by one week. That's the way it goes sometimes. Still a great time. Shared the cabin with some great hunters out of San Antonio and Dallas area. Already looking forward to giving it another run next season. Hopefully we can hook up again zookeeper. Good luck the rest of the season.

And look under around the campfire and rate the deer lease. I did and it produced several pages of results. Lots of info out there and too much to post again.
