It can be possible since bucks get kicked out of the area after 1st year. So you could have a "doe factory" in a spot. Typically you will then get the bucks coming through during the rut.

Took my girls out to a friend's ranch by Stephenville and my 13 year old connected on this management buck Saturday morning.

Love the racks on those bucks in the first pic. I had Covid last November and had a great week of hunting while I was "isolated" at my ranch.

Both are mature deer if that is your criteria. As said above, with 80 acres you aren't affecting the gene pool either by shooting or letting them walk. I have a small parcel and my main objective is to attract does because when the rut is on, the bucks will go where the ladies are. Look at your...

Updated to the latest firmware. Never gone past 8.0. Will deploy this afternoon when I fill feeders.

You know what they say about four wheel drive....it just gets you stuck further than a 2 wheel drive would get you.

Hitch mount hoists work great. I picked up a couple in the off season. Took it on a trip to a buddy's place. Didn't think I was going to be able to leave camp with it, he liked it so much.

Have a good amount of the actual plant. I had just assumed, like peas in my garden that there would be pod production. However, now I understand the process and how just the plant is a good attractant.

I'm making an assumption here that the pea plant is a good attractant for the deer as much as if they had peas. I put peas out for the first time last season at a low rate, not knowing what to expect but it looked like the deer liked it. I didnt know if there was pea production on them or not as...

They were planted 1st week of Sept but didnt get any rain other than the initial weekend it was put out so they didnt get the growth they could have. If I plant any earlier they will come up and burn in the North Texas heat. I guess we'll see what happens as they continue to grow. Their nice and...

So, austrian "wintet" peas don't produce a pea in winter?

I had planted a mix of cereal grains and Austrian peas on the first weekend of Sept. right before a rain. Got good germinate but hardly any rain during Sept. Been getting some showers here and there recently. Everything is green with good growth. However, I don't see any pea production. What's...

Forget about all these tree stands, just sit in the backyard.

Congrats on all the hard work paying off.

Update on what the food plot looks like now, even without any rain except for the day after the seed was out out 3 weeks ago. I put out liquid fertilizer today.
