December 29, 2001:   There is a lot of talk about how cows in your hunting area will keep the deer from  moving in that area.  I have had cows run deer out of a feeding area.  The picture below shows, that like many other "truths" in the hunting arena, that is not always the case.  The red blob you see to the left of the deer in the picture is a cow and the deer didn't pay any attention to it and others in the  the immediate area. 1st Evidence of the Rut December 26, 2001:  The buck above was "my" first evidence of the rut this year.  He was coming right into our location when a doe appeared and he took off in hot pursuit.  How many times has a doe cost you  an opportunity at a buck like this one?   He had six points on the right side and 5 on the left side.   John Dickey of Waco & his 1st Elk December 23, 2001:   Merry  Christmas to you and yours from Texas Deer Hunter TV .   December 22, 2001:  The picture of the 3 bucks above is a good illustration of deer aging.  The one in the center is the older of the three.  This can be determined primarily due to the shape and size of the body, even though the buck on the left has ten points and the one in the center only has 8 points.  In order to harvest big bucks, you have to give the young ones a chance to get older, preferably 5 1/2 years or older.   Noland & George w/ Homestead Ranch Elk Contact Craig Hayes 1-877-486-8355   Homestead Ranch Elk Contact Craig Hayes 1-877-486-8355   Bar Z Ranch Buck Hunts still available this year Contact Scott Howard 1-979-543-8090   Is 12 yards close enough?  Headwaters Ranch       Tracy Leininger & her Headwaters Buck      Kelly Welch & her Headwaters Ranch Buck This deer was 7 1/2 years old December 11, 2001:   I have been told, the average deer hunter in Texas is 53 years old.  This means that we all need to do our part to get kids involved in hunting.  Don't just talk about it, get a kid and go hunting.  The picture below is our future of hunting.   Well????  I can tell you from experience, you won't have as much fun as you will hunting with a kid.      Matt Ward (Age 9) & SW Texas Whitetail Killed on King Spring Ranch   "Texas Skinner" made by Crow The knife pictured above was made for me by Crow at  Crow's Cut 'N Shoot.  You can go to his web page by looking under Texas Deer Hunter Hunting Links,  in the center column.  I would like to thank Crow for this exceptional knife.  It is the sharpest knife, I have ever used and that comment comes  from others who have been lucky enough to get to use this wonderful knife.   "Thanks Crow" for all the skill and hard work that went into making this knife.     409-753-2329 December 2, 2001:  Some of you have replied with your theories on what is happening with our deer sitings.  I have noticed more daytime deer activity in the last few days, during the daylight hours.  I have also seen more deer being transported to the locker plants, indicating hunter success.  Christopher from Denton said, "the big boys have been moving 9pm-11pm and 3am-5am.  Vernon from Tennessee said, " Deer have been awfully hard to see--even does. No, I have not seen much evidence of rut. Saw a few half-hearted scrapes but that's not unusual here, they don't usually do much the first half of the season .
