7th of November big day

[Calman]

Tomorrow is the big day. Rifle season for deer opens here in Texas.
Gotta go today and set of spray bombs in the deer blinds.
Plenty of them wasps swarming around and looking for a warm place to spend the winter.
Got stung one time while setting in the blind and since I'm allergic to them I don't need this to happen again.

It's interesting to me the way things are different in different parts of the country. Here in Oregon, our deer season ends on the 7th. It opened on the first Saturday in October, the bucks are now in a strong rut. We do have a late hunt the end of Nov for a few days. The 8th starts Elk season for a short 4 day season ( the first of two short seasons, then the second deer hunt). We are limited to one buck and have to buy a tag for the type of deer we are hunting (mule or black tail... we have a couple of white tail herds but they are protected). Same for Elk, a tag for Roosevelt or Rocky Mountain. Our limit is one deer a year, some areas do open up for does but mostly bucks, so some folks are happy get a spike. We also count only one side of the antler for points, so out here a 3 by 3 buck is 3 point, I know some areas call this a 6 point.

Hows this compare with Texas?


Thanks and good luck,

You got an epi pen Cal? Might save your life if your allergy is bad enough.

Good luck with the hunt.

This ain't Texas, but..

Our whitetail season here starts next Sat, Nov 14. Where I live the season goes 2 weeks and I believe it's either sex the whole season. On the other side of the road which borders this place (in the same county), the season doesn't end til January and it only has a couple either sex days. On the side with the short season, a late season is in place thru Jan with either black powder or archery, don't hunt with either so I can't remember. The rut here is usually heaviest the week before rifle season (last week of black powder) and the first week of rifle season. Landowners in VA are not required to buy licenses, etc when hunting on their own land.

I haven't hunted the past 2 or 3 years, but I'm going to make a concerted effort this year. We start calving Nov 15th so that usually winds up taking precedence over deer.

Nirvanna , and it should be that way.

For what it cost me to feed the beggars, plus $40 a tag, its a joke.

I've counted 50 different deer passing in front of me in one afternoon hunting. Dang things are everywhere.

Wife and I rode to the back of the one farm where I hunt right before dark this evening, gathered up some limbs for my ground blind. I counted 18 does in that field when we pulled in with the truck, about half of them ran off to the edge of the woods. The other half stood there and looked at the truck. Now walk into that field in full camo trying not to make a noise and those deer would beat a trail to the next county!

Dang pinz i envy you i sat every evening for the week of muzzle loader season saw 5 doe and a button buck.

Got a cold front coming sunday afternoon. Just might get the bigger older bucks active.

I have property in South Central Oregon in a "special hunt" zone. My season was 9 days long. Fork buck or better. 300+ miles from home.

[Calman]

I am thinking the deer have went all nocturnal here.
I'm getting around 25 0r 30 pictures of deer of a night and about 2or 3 of daylight hours.
Anybody else have this problem?
