I hunt in Angelina county. Yesterday I tagged out for the year , got 2 spikes and 2 doe, which is good for me cause now hunting won't get in the way of the playoffs! ;D

I went to a stand tonight where we were getting some pictures, and my dad hunted my stand on a whim and shot a 3-point 3 minutes before you can't legally shoot.  I saw a spike, a doe, and a button buck, by the spike came out in the only place at that stand where I can see but not logistically get a shot off.  We're not seeing big bucks, but we have seen 7 or 8 since Saturday, which is exciting because the last couple of years it's been almost entirely does out here

Wished I was out this morning! Will be this afternoon though.

[/quote]It's been that way for us at our lease also, but my family now manages that lease and the deer are everywhere this year, I saw 3 8 pointers that were "iffy", I don't take chances like that cause the last time i shot one like that it was barely 13".

Barely 13" is still legal ha doesn't matter how close it was ;)

Hardin and Tyler, so I can get 2 forked horned +13 from each county, my sugestion on taking a deer with greater than 13" IF you have to think 'will he make the cut' DON'T shoot. I rattled up a 2 1/2y/o 4pt 3 different times at one loca yesterdy morn, when he would get out of site I would hit he horns litely and he would come back, he couldn't get around to wind me as I was sitting on the N side of Pine Island with a N wind blowing, one time he was inside 30yrds. At another loca I just didn't sit long enough, after a 20-30 min wait I stood up and took 2 steps and something blew at me n left with NO ID, mite have been the one but who knows....

I hunted yesterday afernoon, heard 2 deer come through some real thick stuff about 5:00 but never could see them it was so thick.  Then about 5:40 had a small deer maybe 60-70lbs slip out and start eating corn.  Was hoping to see something bigger before it was got too dark but that was it.  Buddy of mine saw a 4 and a 6 pt.

About to pull some bacon-wrapped back strap kabobs off the grill.  It's gonna taste horrible ;)

[ST413]

Have hunted every evening and a couple mornings.  Have seen as many as 6-8 does and yearlings in a hunt but no bucks yet.  Have seen deer every hunt.

running into some of the same problem on my lease.  a lot of it burned during the wildfires last year, and the forestry service didn't come up with the survey until september.  so all of the cover that was burnt, is now pushed over and burned in piles.  fortunately we still have some woods here and there to hunt.

Anyone notice how the 1st weekend of gun season was warm and muggy? Forecast for this weekend is the same.  That figures doesn't it. Nice cool mornings during the week when I cant hunt then by the weekend it warms up!  We need to break that cycle!!!

Anyone think it will be too windy to hunt this weekend? I heard some gusts as high as 30 possible.

And see I'm just the opposite. I'd much rather cold weather than hot anytime.

[TallinaBoyz]

See most people would rather be cold but there is something about not being able to feel my fingers that I hate lol and as far as the wind goes it all depends IMO on wind direction and your location
