[quote name="COOG8BRONCO" post="1298383" timestamp="1350091975"] They just said on tv if central wins this game they should have the fourth playoff spot. Is Livingston not a factor? [/quote] I believe that everyone but Lumberton is a factor.

[quote name="olddadt49" post="1297501" timestamp="1350009767"] This is only my second year on a lease near Spurger and I was late starting this year, but I mowed with my tractor in a new area I wanted to try. I was mowing the middle to the last week in September. No feeder just one bag of corn on the ground. The Monday of opening weekend I shot a doe with my bow, so I guess it's like he said right place right time. [/quote] I have seen that deer will find corn even where none was before. I think they can smell it from a long way if the wind is right. It is then a matter of being there at the right time and in a position that the deer will not be spooked by you as they come into an area.

I think that it will cost you twice as much feed with not nearly twice the results. I can maybe see it by scattering corn with a spin feeder and then gravity feeding some protein. That way they come to the candy (the corn) and then eat the food (protein) that is better for their body and horns. I am not sure why you would gravity feed corn and then spin feed corn.

[quote name="marshman" post="1294412" timestamp="1349670599"] When is the rut in SETX? I just moved back after being gone nearly 20 years and when I did live here I didn't deer hunt.  I hunt now of HWY 62 between Mauriceville and Buna in South Jasper County. [/quote] The "peak" in my opinion is about the middle to late November in the east Texas woods.

I just like to do my own scouting and find some fairly thick cover (near water if possible but not needed) with good trails and lots of scrapes and rubs. I have more big and mature bucks in more hidden areas rather than in the open. Does will go almost anywhere and during the ruts, does nearby usually means bucks nearby but that is a short lived anomaly. Then I try to find a place to set up to see that area where I don't cross the path(s) where the deer get into it, preferably downwind from the prevailing wind.

[quote name="summitksd" post="1289744" timestamp="1349285292"] i always figured if the idea was to kick it high enough for a fair catch,,,,,why not punt it. [/quote] Wouldn't that be great if it was allowed for onside kicks? Punt the football almost straight up and when it comes down, watch the scramble. Unfortunately..........

If the pooch kick is done correctly, it is a good option. I believe the idea is to kick it high enough that the receiving player will almost have to take a fair catch at around the 30 yard line. An end zone kick will now get a touchback to the 25. The problem is not the idea of the pooch kick but the execution. If you kick it low enough to allow basically a conventional return, the runner gets to start from the 35 instead of the 5. That isn't good. Pop it up to the area of the 25-30 yard line and allow no return and it is great.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1289687" timestamp="1349282441"] It's a violation of the constitution to kick it out of the end zone. [/quote] Now that's funny. [IMG][Hidden Content]]

[quote name="Buccaneer#3" post="1288623" timestamp="1349180348"] I think the type of scent blocker you use should be taken into consideration as well [/quote] I have used all kinds of ideas and gimmicks and I don't usually notice much difference in the results. I won't say that they don't work but I have done just as good when I did not use cover scents or scent blockers as when I have. I think at the very least they make us feel more confident.

Whoever it is, he is probably better than Romo.

You have to consider that as well. [/quote] When choosing the best QB, why does it matter if he plays defense? Now if we are talking about MVP as in, who is the most valuable to their team, I think Quirante is right up there.

[quote name="Buccaneer#3" post="1287608" timestamp="1349059774"] .Anything on scent blockers (doe pee, sprays etc..) or calls (antlers rattling or buck call etc..)? [/quote] I have mixed feelings about the effectiveness of scent blockers or eliminators but I still use them. I think if the wind is wrong where you are setting up it won't matter and if the wind is right, it also won't matter. It makes me feel better to use them sometimes though. As far as calls, they can work at the right time or they can be no help or they can hurt by scaring deer off. It all depends on location and timing. Deer seem to be curious and noises attract them many times. The real deal though is when the deer are in their rut. I have called in deer a couple of times but not often. I saw a pretty good big buck walking about 40 from my bow stand. He was checking out the feeder that I was near but kept on walking into the thick brush, walking away from me. I grabbed one of those doe bleat cans and hit is a couple of times. I sat in the ladder stand about 18 feet up and thought that I wouldn't see him again. A few minutes later I heard a twig snap. I looked below me and that buck was directly under my stand. He managed to come back to the exact spot of the sound of a (probably what he thought was) hot doe. Another time I was hunting in south Texas in a ground blind on a bow hunting day lease. I saw a buck walking away from me and rattles some horns a few times and then stopped. That buck stopped almost in his tracks and looked back my way. He then walked into the bush where I had a hard time seeing him but he made his way near my ground blind to see which bucks had invaded his territory. Those two times, I was in the right place at the right time that those sounds draw the bucks back in. Maybe other times it worked and the deer just came from an area that I never saw them. I will never know but those two times it was obvious. I think there are times that if the deer are not in the right mood, the sounds might scare them away if they are too close when you use them. I also think the buck to doe ratio might make a big difference also. If there are 6 does to every buck like on my east Texas lease for a good while (until we really thinned out the does) I believe the sounds of does in heat or fighting bucks is less effective. In other areas where it is close to 1 to 1 or 2 to 1, there is huge competition between bucks and the sound of fighting will bring them running. It just depends...........

Speed is everything. There is no way that Nederland can overcome the speed of teams like Livingston, Ozen, Central, WOS, etc. I doubt that Nederland has ever made the playoffs with Neumann as the head coach. If they ever got luck and did, they surely have never made it out of the first round. They simply don't have the speed to match up and speed rules the day.

[quote name="bullets13" post="1286629" timestamp="1348956730"] Curious to see how my season goes.  All of the trees that burnt last year have been clear cut, so there's not nearly as much cover, but we've put in about 10 food plots [/quote] I love clear cuts if they have good wooded areas nearby.

[quote name="Buccaneer#3" post="1286515" timestamp="1348948719"] I'm hunting in sour lake so I bet its a lot different than south or east or west texas [/quote] But probably not a lot different than when I hunt near Woodville which is where I hand tossed corn opening day only and killed a decent buck. In south Texas and the Hill Country I have seen big bucks walk in the open all the time to come to corn. Maybe it has to do with the conditions there and not nearly as much browse as in the heavily wooded east Texas. The only time that I have seen big bucks in east Texas is deeper in the woods or crossing an open area but not stopping to eat. I think a lot depends on the area that you are hunting and you have to play to their game.
