Shot this free-range Axis last Monday night south of Junction.  His horns were about 31" long and he was one old coot, to the point where his coat was turning lighter.

Wish I had some better pictures but it was raining/misting and the wind was up.

Buck shot at the lease after a morning of limiting out on mallards in central texas. Fowl Talk Ranch 

I got this in the mail yesterday.  What could be in the box?  Are those wings?  Maybe a duck carving?  God I hope not.

William is on here for the deer he took last season, but this is his first buck.  Really didn't start well - it was so hot that the nearby town ran out of ice (we used 230 lbs in 5 days to keep the meat cool).  We saw this buck the first afternoon out, but let him alone for a couple of days just in case he got wind of us.  We crawled under a tree and made a makeshift ground stand out of duck blind material.  This buck came out on cue and William shot...he didn't have his barrel above the blind material so all I saw were material fibers for the first few seconds.  Fortunately it didn't hurt the bullet trajectory and after tracking a little the hootin' and hollerin' began!  Didn't even need the corn you see in the background of the picture.

A sitting "Duck" if you will.

We're on 2 different tracts of land in Hagansport.  One that is on the Sulphur River and one that is a mile or so south of the river.  Deer activity is just starting to pick up in the last couple of weeks... especially on the tract on the river.  Over half of that tract is under water but it's made for some exciting duck hunting for the duck hunters on our lease.
