Successful Texas Deer Season

Recommended Posts

Today was the 3rd time I’ve been out hunting at our family farm this year I usually go for 2-3 days at a time.  I didn’t get any Doe tags this year but they sure are thick when the feeder goes off

This morning about 10:30 I connected with this nice 7 point Buck. He was a larger than average bodied deer and had fairly long and heavy tines, but not  a lot of width to the antlers. In our county  you can shoot a spike or a buck with antlers at least 13” wide (which the say is outside the ears). This one measured 14” wide and gave me a nice front look to see his antlers pasted the ear test.  I had to use my old Oliver tractor to go pick him up as it was to wet to drive in the pasture. I haven’t run the Oliver in about. 2 months but it’s 4cyl Continental Diesel engine kicked right off as always.  Never get enough Oliver or Wheelhorse seat time.

Got him skinned, quartered and iced down in the cooler. I’ll debone Friday. Time to make sausage, jerky, and chili meat.

Congrats on the score!  That’s a nice 7 point!

Nice buck Jim....WTG.    I didn't score in archery  season, so I'll get to hunt the rifle season this year.  The two week rifle season opens on Monday.

Nice deer, glad to see I'm not the only one that uses the loader bucket to haul 'em in...mine opening morning here in the VAs.
