Headed up this weekend to go hunting , some of you guys that hunt the area how's it been ? I haven't been since Thanksgiving

[Rusty S]

The week before Christmas I saw a couple of herds of does but no bucks, the deer all looked to be in good shape and were feeding mostly in the evening, this was around Livingston.

[Reef Drifter]

That's what I was afraid of , were not to far from you , but at least I'm staying Monday for muzzle loader season and does are fair game then , thanks Rusty

Im near nacogdoches and mine are feeding just after sun down and at night... So my camera is pretty much the only way i know my nice bucks are prolly goin to make it threw the season.... Maybe i can get one of them next year

[Reef Drifter]

It's been a crappy season , out of fifteen Hunters on our place only 1 buck was shot this year

The moon is in your favor right now, get to the stand early and stay till dark, the only bad deal is it is gonna warm up fast this weekend. With the new rain, the morning could catch some overnight rooters that are a bit to greedy, other than that I would sleep in and go to the stand after lunch---good luck Reef. rs

Well nothing this trip , gonna give it one more shot during muzzle loader season the second weekend , this sucks

I hunt in Shelby County, around Timpson. Didn't see one buck all season. Probably saw 25 does in half a dozen hunts. Popped a 3.5 year old doe that was in good shape for the freezer. The TPW biologist at the processor said the rut was sporadic this year and he had reports of bucks chasing does at various locations from the first week of the season through mid December which is way late for the area I'm in.

I don't know if we have a muzzle loader season, but I'm going to find out and if we do I guess I'm buying a muzzle loader for next year.

It will be under the county listing in the hunt. Regulation book , we typically get an extra two to three Weeks of season with it

i hunted 12/30-31 and 1/1 saw two buck,s very small 1 1/2 year old's we hunt Sabine co. north of Jasper the rut was so spead out that it was hard to tell if we even had one this year or lease is mld 3 so we can hunt from oct. 1 - the end of jan. hoping the acorns will rot and the deer will start coming to corn again brfore it's over

[Reef Drifter]

I'm in Jasper county , we found two scrapes and saw a buck running a doe in September , had me scratching my head wondering what was going on

Tyler county, made about 15 hunts and saw just a few deer. The drought and enormous acorn crop got me, but looking for oak trees to hunt next season. I had pictures of a few nice deer but billions of hog pictures, I fenced my feeder last weekend and betting the corn will just pile up. We will see. We are also looking for a few hunters on a MDL no guest non family lease just north/East of Woodville on hwy 69. $800 a gun
