I had a great season. Didn't kill any big trophies but I got plenty of meat and got to spend a lot of time in South Texas with my family. Going back in a few weeks to start puttin out the protein - can't wait to see what next year brings.

wacky worm

Uh,........yeah,..............I guess that counts .

New Caney has a girl that can. New Caney senior Courtney Gathright broke a world record with her lift of 300.8 pounds at the WABDL World Championships in Las Vegas. The article is in the East Montgomery county Observer [Hidden Content]

YEah, I got your PM, I know right where that gate is south of the Goofy, just didn't recognize the arrowheads on the gate. Didn't see to many snakes this year but killed a 6 1/2 footer last year. We went down last weekend and knocked out a few more does. Probably be back in a few weeks to start putting out the protein (that stuff gets mighty expensive -but it works). You should have a little better luck in Oct-Nov, still a long way from the rut but less hunting pressure on the deer and probably better weather.

A few week ago while discussing deer meat you said - I wouldn't put it in the category of awesome however. - we'll the tenderloins I fried up last night were in fact truely awesome. You were wrong, wrong, wrong . (Actually me and TVC are tight since we been hunting right down the road from each other down in South Texas)!

Best - Galena Park Worst - Huffman

Dont think he'll be seeing any this trip.

Yeah, I just checked the weather down there. Currently fog and freezing rain with snow tonight---------but I betcha he's loving it!

Good luck TVC and keep me posted.

Now that took a lot of guts!

Pretty impressive ain't it. Indeed it is!

Bring your long-johns, it'll be cold!

I agree!

Think I'd have to move.

How long till you leave TVC? Are you packed yet? One of my buddies killed a 160 this past weekend just west of where you will be.

they might even help trim the region‚s burgeoning deer herd. Some areas are on the verge of a major die-off and if coyotes help to keep that from happening as their numbers grow, that is a good thing.

Your best bet on turkey down there will be near a live creek or water source. Your ranch will be very near a big ranch named "Turkey Creek".

You will be in a very good area. I am not familiar with The First Point Ranch but I know of several others right there (probably within 20 miles of the Cobb, Paloma, Sanger, Picosa, Coots- Mathews, etc.). You will probably be in Maverick County (possibly Zavala) definetly hunting South Texas deer (not Hill country). My lease is about 3 miles south of the Fm 481 intersection on HWY 57.

Anyone have any experience around the Uvalde/Eagle Pass area or any of the south Texas brush country? TVC184 - I just spent a week in Eagle Pass and I am heading back down there on Thursday - rut is in full swing right now. Where exactly is the ranch? Will you be hunting closer to Eagle Pass or Uvalde? I am asking because the terrain is differnet - FM481 goes from Eagle Pass to Uvalde and the land changes quite a bit. Eagle Pass will be a little flatter with lower brush and Uvalde will be a little more hills with bigger mesquite. Will you be in a tripod or on the ground? If your closer to Eagle Pass, I would suggest a shorter tripod (6') or on the ground because unless you are in a creek area the brush will be low and in a standard tripod you will stand out like a sore thumb. Most important - CORN!!! Find a few spots you like and corn heavy - dont be afraid to over do it with the corn. This year has been very dry down there and the deer are really coming to the corn good. If they are corning senderos then I would stay close to that area. Be patient and don't shoot the first nice deer you see! Good luck from "the know it all"

Now thats better. First pic in series shows mass and mains much better. Beautiful deer.

Where you hunting CATS?
