If you had asked, I would’ve told you this weekend would more than likely be a bust. That’s why I’m still in TX. :rollingla

I did get a couple of the big mature bucks with crappy racks on camera this morning in the daylight. I really think with the weather change and the new moon that the first part of the week should have them moving more. I’m looking for some new bucks to show up any day.

I’ve seen sh*tty game cam pictures for a couple months and can’t tell anything from them, and he hasn’t sent me glamour shots yet. He’s claiming he‘ll go 150’s…he’s been thinking he might go 160. I never thought that, but the pictures he had sent me of him were horrible.

I tried to talk him through tracking, but it’s hard to do from 7 hours away when I can’t see what he’s seeing.

And CRP grass can be effing tall. I’ve dealt with that kind of tracking before and it sucks.

This story will be long and pic heavy.
Made it to the stand at 6 am. My target buck has been hitting the feeder around 7am. Legal shooting time this morning was 7:20am.
It was starting to get light enough to see the 78 yards to the feeder at 7:00. I could see him so the excitement started building.
At 7:09 my cam got a pic of him.

At 7:10 he turned and walked back into the woods. 10 minutes early.

About 20 more minutes later he walked back out of the woods!
Wind was howling with the 20’ tall blind shaking like crazy.
Finally decided to take a high shoulder shot with the Hornady SST 250 grain sabot bullet. He never took a step. Fell in his tracks. Cam actually got a pic of him falling.

So, as an experiment, I left the gut pile in view of the camera for two reasons.
One to see if it deterred other deer from coming to the feeder, and the second to see what critters were going to feed on it.

Apparently it doesn’t deter them.
