A little under a 20 yard shot. About a 50 yard blood trail that was easy to follow. Shot on my lease near Brownwood.
Nice! I'm excited to get my bow out, going to be my first time hunting any type of compound. I got it sighted in for 20, 30, and 40 yards. Now I just need a range finder to help me out. Enjoy that meat!!

Tons of does, two have twin fawns, a few others have singles. Tons and tons. We are suppose to take 4 does and two bucks off the place this season. New Years should be fun.

If your undecided on which does to take, go for the one of the two with twin fawns. Its common for an older doe to have twin or even triplets. Good luck.

I'm excited.

Mrs. Anygun and I were driving on the property last week and jumped a huge WT buck out of an oak mott.

The property has 2 -3 big hog wallows on it.

There are exotics in the area.

A co-worker and I have harvested over 150 dove near Corpus Christi this year.

:thumbs2: :hurry:
Edwards County is a great place. The Axis deer are plentiful there. Congrats on the property!

Re: 2016 Hunting Season

No luck this weekend. Saw some promising WT Doe's but looked a little young to take. My brother took an Aoudad and someone else we were with took a spike WT buck. I had to head back yesterday to get ready for work today. I sighted my rifle in months back but still seems to be a little off, going to have to head back to the range sometime this weekend.

Anyone else have any luck?

Nowhere to hunt this year. First time in about 15 years. :grumble
That's no fun. I used to dove hunt out in Katy where they were building all those new developments of 1463. Now all the fields turned into houses... been a while since I've been bird hunting. My 12g has seen no love the past two years.
You're missing out..........no freezer space needed! :drool: :drool:

Man, making me hungry.....Looks like some good eats!!

txglock21 wrote:Yep, heading out tomorrow to be ready to nail a deer at sun up Saturday morning. What's great this year is we can take up to 2 does the first two weeks of the season. Before, we only got 4 days at Thanksgiving. I hunt for meat, not antlers, so I'm taking what I can get. :mrgreen: It's been 4 years since my freezer has seen any venison. :grumble
Sounds like you got the plan!!

I didn't know that, I'll have to do my research. I've never taken a whitetail so hopefully i can change that this year, have just taken some nice size axis bucks though. Yep I'll be in the blind before sunrise Saturday morning.

Good luck.

Nice!! What caliber did she shoot with? That will make a great mount, gonna need some high ceilings to hang that one.

I head out tomorrow around 4am for my step-fathers ranch, hes already there prepping the cabin. Haven't been this excited since last season!
Thanks! She took it with a 30-06 at 300 yards.

He's at the taxidermist now, we have the ceiling height to accommodate him. Freezer space was what got tight! Pretty sure I'll be giving away all of my whitetail meat from this year along with some of my Axis meat. :drool: I shot an even bigger (bodied) elk last year and we wound up giving away every single whitetail, axis, sika, and hog that we shot last year.
Nice shot!! I have to selectively shoot so my freezer wont over fill. Looking into chest freezers the past month so I can keep more on hand. My mom wont let me use her's anymore, says I use too much space :lol:

Never hunted up that way. I go in between Brackettville and Rocksprings in Edwards county.
Private land? Or how do you access the property?

Yes its private, its my Step-fathers ranch, he co-owns with other family members. Its a nice piece of land that they built up themselves over the years. I try and help as much as I can while I'm there with regular maintenance around the property.

I've seen a significant drop in the deer population at my place, which likely coincides with the increased pig population. I'll happily put the cross-hairs on either.

I've seen some game pictures from the last couple months of my step-fathers property, some real nice whitetail running around. But because he isn't high fenced, you never know if they'll stick around. Hopefully the feed will keep them on his property. He's always having issues with pigs and cattle knocking his feeders down even though they're fenced in. Those pigs will do anything for some corn.... yea i don't mind mowing a couple down either, keeps the freezer stocked and the belly happy.

Enjoy your weekend.

2016 Hunting Season

Anyone going out this weekend for the regular season opener? Work and personal schedule has been pretty chaotic lately and I didn't get a chance to take my bow out the past month. Hopefully I'll be able to fill the freezer up this weekend though! I'll post pictures if anyone I'm with gets a kill.

Have a safe weekend. :patriot:
