Just got back from Texas. Didn't have a chance to bag one but a friend did with a big bodied 8 pointer. It was a combination of bad timing, warm weather and a full moon. Other than that it's still a good hunt.
Here's some picture from the hunt.
I was hoping to encounter any of these.
Here some of what we saw at the butcher shop.

I'd rather eat my tag than shooting a doe. My buddy's feeder cam has been seeing some eye popper. I'm hoping to encounter one of them but no luck.

Well Rommel it is all about the hunt, not weather you are successful. I am sure you had a great time. Success is just the icing on the cake. I am sure you agree. Ed

Totally agree Ed. That's why they call it hunting. I have 3 doe tag. I had a chance to shoot one but can't bring myself to do it.Well Rommel it is all about the hunt, not weather you are successful. I am sure you had a great time. Success is just the icing on the cake. I am sure you agree. Ed
Tom, those cows were a curious bunch. They followed us around everywhere we went.There is a lot of meat on those slow does with the yellow ear tags.

They get bored out there in the field and love to follow people around. One ranch that I hunt on here has horses and mules and they are way worse, trying to pick up the E-caller and generally getting in the way. When I go out there, I get a bale of alfalfa and spread it out away from where I hunt to keep them busy for an hour or so,

Sounds like a good time. Cool pictures and nice rifles. 
You can hop but you can't hide. Yahi Bowmen. Its not how far you can shoot but how close to the game you get when you shoot. Sights we don't need any sights. Why waist time reloading when I can be making arrows.

As some would say, horns are for the walls, does are for the table.
I wish they would open up California hunting to does not just on special hunts.
I see over-population in some areas and we might be nearing the same deadly deer-to-car collision risks as some East Coast states.

My mistake, they were being fed by a feeder, I should have said "pet" 
I'd rather eat my tag than shooting a doe. My buddy's feeder cam has been seeing some eye popper. I'm hoping to encounter one of them but no luck.
