Well,that's it for the '09-'10 deer season here in Texas. Yesterday evening ended one of the most sluggish seasons we've had in a while.We had a new system this year in my county which allowed 2 bucks and 2 does.One buck with at least one un-branched antler,and one buck with a minimum 13" inside spread.Besides the spike I took in October,I saw no other legal bucks the remainder of the season,and never got a shot opportunity at a doe either. We had a bumper crop of acorns and good rain which meant great browse and other food sources as well.The deer simply did'nt have to move much to feed,and they virtually disappeared from the places I hunt.I could'nt even get pictures on my game cam. But,I still am very blessed to have places to enjoy creation and its beauty.Last evening I hunted a lowland area which had some flooded areas near my spot,and had about 25 wood ducks come in about 40 yards from me,then stayed all evening.A barred owl showed up right before sundown,along with the ever-present cardinals,brown creepers,half a dozen species of woodpeckers,ruby crowned kinglets,nuthatches,phoebes,thrashers,thrushes,etc. etc. Well,you get the point.Man,I sure enjoy creation.Let me hear how y'alls season went this year.Now it's time to hunt pigs.
God Bless
