Lone Star Hunting Forum

OK wish me luck everyone....Going to head down to the lease this evening & probably tomorrow evening as well. NEED...and I stress NEED...to get at least a couple more doe to fill the freezer. I have 4 tags left to burn & bayourat has 2. Our girls would NEVER let us hear the end of it if we ran out of venison. We don't even buy meat from the store. Season has sucked here on the home-place, that's why we got the lease down by Lake Ivie. Its packed full of deer but we haven't had the chance to go down as much. Plus we got it half way through the season(cheap price tho). I will spare no slick that walks in front of me that is big enough. BRING IT ON!!!!!


WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!

Good luck......Get ya some backstrap. The only things I killed this season was 3 hogs & some gentleman jack.

Good luck, we got a doe in the freezer and hopefully my son will kill that 7 point before the weekend is over.

Good luck!

Well I managed to get 1, saw a LOT of animal activity as well. First deer to come in when I got there was a small, yearling doe fawn. I mean small, my DOG was bigger then this. I couldn't pull the trigger. Once the feeder went off, a massive flock of hungry turkey hens swooped in & ate....and ate...and ate. After watching them for almost an hour, I have come to the conclusion that turkey are retarded. Ran around, clicked, clucked, jumped over each other scooted here & there...it was funny. Next to come in was a 3+yr old 6 pt (over twice the size of the yearling) then followed by 2 more small yearlings. After a while the 3 yearlings meandered off, leaving the 6 pt to eat then he left. About 30 minutes later, after the turkeys cleared (stampeded over to the water) a young (2.5 yr old) 8 pt came in to eat followed by a nice, tall 4.5+ yr old 8 pt. They ate for a while then left. I had set the feeder timer to do a small bust of feed at 5 & not even 1 minute after that, the 8's came back. I noticed a group of nice sized does just across the fence going up the hill & away. I thought..."well there goes my chances" but about 15 minutes later, not long before dark, they came back. Even had a large button buck with a double throat patch in the group. I picked the biggest doe, waited until she was by herself & BOOM. Doe down. Surprisingly enough, one of the little yearlings just stood here watching them all run away as if it didn't care & proceeded to eat until I got up to walk back to the truck. She is a GOOD sized doe. Funny thing is that she had dark hocks like a rutting buck & had a musty smell also. But she was 100% doe, no antler/antler buds, noticeable bag. Won't be able to go back to the lease this evening but can sneak out on the home place here & try to get at least one more. One is better then NONE. Phewww feel a lil bit better that there is at least one more for the freezer.

Good deal, glad you got one. Maybe you can get one more before it's over!!

Glad to hear you got one. Good luck the rain made us stay in this morning. My son is out right now, it is his last chance to get one.

Congrats on the doe!
