    Good looking deer and antler color. Hope you've got the Bobcat skinned out.

Pure Varmint control. Worse than hogs I am told due to the fact they burrow under the fences and tear the crap out of waterlines, as they can't use the water troughs themselves. At the beginning of the self filmed footage, there are already 2 of 9 dead in the Sendero. They just kept staying out there in never never land.

    I’m sure most here realize that fences are the norm all over Texas. It’s not a hunt , it’s an effort at herd control on a place I get invited to attend. Nothing more.

    The Ranch Biologist says the fences keep human trespassers out , more than the animals in.

    I went to McAlester OK for a doe killing in December, guy had 500 does to kill, we got 134 in 4 days, they had fences for the same reason. The deer would appear from places a rabbit couldn’t hide. They pay for processor to clean the deer , the state pays to process and donate to local families.

    Looks like a great time...congrats! Are the Javelinas any good to eat?? I know nothing about them.
    Crops are harvested, animals are killed.

    Technically, the Collared Peccary isn’t a true pig. Large males weigh up to 45-50 lb. The gringo locals won’t eat them , so we donated them to a local Mexican family that distributes them make tamales from the meat. Both male and females have tusks in the upper jaw. Some folks call them ‘’ Musk pigs” … get close to one and you will know why.

    Most ranches down there try to keep the numbers controlled for the reasons mentioned earlier. They dig burrows as well or den in brush piles if they find someplace suitable.

    i got no problem with a fence. i got a problem with people thinking they climbed some incredible hunting mountain when they shoot some huge deer.
    that's why i think i'm a management 8 kinda guy. i like to tip shit over and eat it. and I like to watch deer.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Agreed 2th. We dang sure watched some.

    Cool to see Bucks in late January still scraping, horning trees, chasing does and fighting. The fights are no joke either. every buck we saw that was classified as mature ( 5.5 years and up) had broken tines, scuffed hide and several with gore wounds that will probably kill them. The Ranch Biologist found one in a pond the day after we left - dead. A deep puncture to the gut.

    This place is a hobby ranch by Texas acreage standards. the neighboring Ranches are 23,000 ( family owned since 1875) bought for 12 cents an acre, and a 170,000 contiguous acre Exxon owned gas and oil production tract. I am dang grateful to be invited to spend time with the fine folks that think enough of me to ask me to come fellowship. The shooting of animals is a bonus. We ate well, drank some good beverages and even did some chores. Best thing on the menu?? An Axis Doe that got turned into Fajitas.

    Thanks. I ain't that old dammit. Just for you, I will post the Javelina video. Enjoy. I did ask the Lord for forgiveness when it was done.. My Daddy taught me that killing an animal ( any animal) is serious business.

    Please keep in mind this video is culling of destructive varmints that was done with the permission of the land owner. Nothing more. Self filmed so apologies for the disruption of continuity… phone fell off the sandbag. Tikka CTR .223. Hornady 55 grain VMax . Bout perfect weapon for the task at hand.
