Texas controlled hunt

[JV842]

Those deer down there sure are small. Up here they are quite a bit bigger, a good sized buck will be pushing 200 pounds. I haven’t ever shot a doe in Texas but I think I’m going to have to start, I’m over run with them on my new place.

Yeah I feel a bit silly using it. When I went to pick out a rifle from the safe the 243. got some consideration but the 300 is my new toy and I have only got to use it on one hunt. Good news is there was no tracking .

Glad you got to hunt that one and the state park is a pretty place. I was down there with you trying to get on standby but was surprised how many other people had my same idea on a Tuesday for a spike/doe hunt. I didn't get a chance to meet you but good luck on the rest of your hunt!

Thank you sir! I was very surprised at the turn out for the standby myself.

Very true. Now that I think about it I've seen bigger does killed in the panhandle and even the piney woods. Should've said biggest doe I've seen killed in Texas south of I20.

Well that lone broke buck was my only visitor for the morning. Will head back out around 2pm looks like the wind is picking up a bit. Didn't see two of the guy's but there were 2 more does and a spike on the skinning pole when I pulled up.

Tweezers are a mandatory part of the hunting kit. Got some use last night and that was just from being careless opening the gate.

Upland hunting pants or Duluth Firehouse pants work very well in that kind of country
