Dont look now but here comes hunting season

[Mastercraftdave]

busy next couple of days ... heading to west Texas tomorrow (600+ miles round trip) to check game cameras to see if our ranch was impacted by the Anthrax outbreak, if there is still any deer, I will fill the feeders. Then Friday, load up tractor and head to my place in central TX (100 mile round trip) to plow & plant food plots. Then Saturday head to our east TX lease (400 mile round trip) with tractor to get food plots plowed & planted and get travel trailer set up in a new location at camp. Sunday pack up and fly to NH for business most of the week, fly home Thursday, load up hunting gear and pull out Friday heading back to east TX for opening weekend of deer season ... I'm tired just thinking about it.

Anthrax break out?

Tell me more, this is the first I have heard of it.

Scroll down and click the + sign by Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease. I haven't heard of anthrax deer deaths. It looks like EHD is a similar result.

EHD has wiped out entire farms in Warren county Iowa this summer.

I got my spot ready last weekend... But I'm seriously not ready to put the ski down and get the bow out.

Oh I am ready but the weather here is not! Still 100 degree days its hard to think about anything else but being on the boat right now. Our bow season starts on the 28th.

PS. yes we feed but our place is low fence free range.

Shot my first public land archery elk this week in Idaho. Happened to be on my birthday also. What an awesome day. The last picture shows me after finding my arrow covered in blood. You can see it stuck in a tree next to me.

My coworker just found his top buck dead - 160" 10 pt, along with a decent 8 pt. He's going to try walking his creek this weekend to see what else he finds

Archery season starts here tomorrow and it will be close to 100 degrees! Something ain't right!

Think I will skip the deer blind for the lake!!

Ours kicks off next Saturday but with temps in the 80’s and 90’s, I’ll be waiting for some cooler temps
