Give your opinion as to where we are or evidence you have seen to the contrary.

I am aware of the general principle as it depends and can be regional.

I am at 96 and 255 and I saw hard evidence of pre-rut activity in Mid to late Oct.. scrapes .. rubs.. all of this is none existent right now.. which leads me to believe they have been breeding for around two to three weeks or more and  we are done... someone please give evidence of the contrary.. buck nose down on doe trail etc.

grabbing for straws and do not want it to end just yet.

in East Texas i saw a buck tailing a doe this past Friday, and Sunday, after a heavy rain the night before, my dad found a fresh scrape.  Our lease burned, though, so i don't really know if our rut has been messed up out there because the does were stressed.

The Lord heard my request... saw evidence here in Beaumont that the rut is still in full effect.... I was going to my home off Walden rd and in a big cattle pasture which I have never seen deer after 8 years of living here.. I saw a doe being tended by a buck...5:15pm. I rush home maybe 300yds from the sighting and go get my binoculars to get a positive id on the buck. ( shooter, non shooter) well when I get back the doe is 30yds from the road up against the barb wire fence buck 45yds from the fence.. I pull over and just watch for a minute when a fed ex truck needs me to move up so he can pull into the new edition. I oblige him and that is when the doe spooks a breaks out into a full on top end sprint and the buck hits the nitrous bottle and is right on her tail... reminded me of top gun when the pilot was trying to shake the enemy... crazy.... she would break left and he would break left... she would break hard right and he would break hard right... ( you know in eastexas with all the trees you cannot see all this activity)  it was awesome.. she finally gives up and stops out in the middle of the pasture... and he strolls up to her and says.. you thought you were going to loose me didn't you.  Now come to big Papa.

The buck appeared to be an 8pt ( never got a side view) but was not symmetrical and just under 13 inches but sure was cool to watch..

I am hunting tomorrow for sure!

      2024 WOS Mustangs

      Been said before but you’d think with a program that WOS has had the last 4 decades, the history and traditions it has, it would have attracted a few high caliber quality coaches from strong programs.  That didn’t happen. Which leads me to believe it’s small town politics mainly with the school board that kept any from applying.  Schools like Gilmer, Southlake Carroll, Celina, Austin Westlake and others can have a new HC step in and keep the train rolling pretty much without missing a beat.

      Y’all had it good for a long time… it’s pretty clear to see that it’s over. West Orange isn’t some blessed zip code that’s always going to win… y’all just had lighting in a bottle for a long time.    HH isn’t a bad coach, he’s just not as good as your last two. Very, very few are. The question is whether or not y’all can attract another HOF caliber coach to bring the program back to dominance-which isn’t guaranteed.    I think the future involves y’all mixing it up for DCs in some years, making the playoffs  most, then eventually dropping to 3A D1 and having more success down there.    No Thanksgiving practices in your future, though. At this point the chain is broken. There are no kids left who have any time under that level of coaching. I just don’t see things getting better.

      Angleton vs College Station

      By purple reign · Posted

      Angleton fans are going all out in support. There is a tailgate in the early afternoon Friday at a local car dealership, followed by a send-off parade. College Station has only had 3 turnovers all season but Angleton has 26 takeaways so something has to give.
