Gonna be drunk and shooting at some of these motherfuckers this weekend in Tarpley, TX. Never seen one before, but it would be nice to get mounted.

sorry bird, like a teen on the pill, none of them get past the goalie

[Thethreeyardout]

actually, that is a nice trip, Puddy.

Is that place is clearly high fenced, what are you paying, if you don't mind me asking?

I need to go kill something soon. I am tired of these squirrels in my back yard.

[T-Bird01]

Free. A buddy of mine's dad owns it. Plus one of the guys just switched positions in his company and is now a drilling salesman so he is going to buy all of the steaks, alcohol, and cigars and expense that shit. I guess his boss doesn't care since there are a couple of guys going that are drilling engineers for companies that they do business with. There are 7 of us going down there (mainly to drink, play washers, darts, and poker) and we're going to try and mix in a little hunting. We talked about shooting some dove as well, but I imagine there isn't going to be much flying being that its the last weekend.

[T-Bird01]

Not completely sure on whether or not its high fenced but I dont think it is.

[Thethreeyardout]

it's gotta be with that kind of animal on it.

or they are nuts.


Scotty, we will get you and Agent on some white tail out in the hill country, if you are interested.

and we can hunt, too.

Yeah, you might be right then. I just don't understand how they've become so prevelant across southwest Texas, especially since they are a species out of Africa that were brought over to the exotic game ranches.

anybody got pics of how big y'all's deer are? they're fucking fawn sized here compared to Ohio. average deer up there would be a state record down here

[Thethreeyardout]

Avg hill country white tail adult is probably 130 lbs after field dressing

getting smaller and smaller, that is for sure - specially the trophy racks.

Mule deer are an entirely different deal and am not sure which type is indigenous to Ohio.

height wise, top of back is taller than 4 feet? i don't know how to tell by the weight cause i don't hunt (city slicker)

[AggieJen02]

top of back is taller than 4 feet?

not usually. the deer around here are pretty scrawny.


speaking of strange breeds to find in texas....my dad shot a sika down in bandera one time. now THAT is an awesome looking deer.

[AggieJen02]

wish my dad had his sika mounted. he kept the horns, but that's it.

[Thethreeyardout]

how the fuck do you make an image over here?

[AggieJen02]

we used to get white tail, axis, and blackbuck antelope at our lease in kerrville. 1700 acres that ended up being converted to a subdivision. what a waste.

[surf]

ohio deer. they have a couple different types from what i can tell. white tail is one but based on a google image search for Ohio deer, it looks like more than one type. got white tail here in nc too

thanks

game management is obviously critical...and I am sure they are as responsible about that in Ohio and NC as they are in Texas, but it really has to go ranch to ranch and lease to lease.

Thinning out the deer is as important as protecting them - for disease and nourishment reasons.

Obviously, everyone wants that one 200 Boone and Crockett buck of a life time that they pay all of that money on a deer lease to a guy like me for - and won't wait long enough for it to mature into something special, so, all of the really trophy type deer are found in more and more remote areas - if they are around at all.

right now it's bow season. 1st day of gun season is like a fucking national holiday here. i'll be one of the few who don't call in that day. dudes i work with hunt every morning and right after work. one of them goes all over the country to hunt. he got a pretty good sized bison last year in colorado. went back this year for mountain goat i think. maybe it was rams. really big into deep sea fishing too. they charter a boat every month. $1000 a head is too much for me. i just get them to bring me back some. got mahi steaks this past summer that were 3 inches thick and about 2 1/2 feet long a piece. i got some buds in emerald isle who run a charter boat so i tag along with them a couple of times a year. always fun watching the newbies getting their asses kicked by sitting on the bow on the way out. hour and a half a entertainment cause they're too stupid to come to the back of the boat
