Well the property has not missed any rain, or at least in a while. It is all green and plenty of food for the deer, so getting them to come to the feeders will take some doing. Dang East TX deer are tough anyway but give them a good food supply and you will have to go to them. Maybe we will be lucky and there won't be many acorns this year.....

Yep, can't wait for the opener. I haven't killed one on my place with a bow yet so I hope this year is the year. Had a couple of almosts in the past but was never able to get a shot off. It's tough with a gun, even tougher with a bow. This year with the antler restriction, it might be even tougher.Pro Staff - Bounty Hunter Turbo Buzz, Creme Lures, New Pro Products, & K9 Fishing Fluorocarbon

Yes, when natural food is abundant, they dont come to corn quite as easily, but some will still come to it.
Lots and lots of scouting, walking deer trails, finding rubs, scrapes, watering hole, bedding areas and of course the main food source is key in your situation. Its a lot of work and all that walking has to be done very soon which sucks because it is so dang hot outside. But, that is what it will take.
Just remember, be the deer. Think like the deer. Pretend you are a deer. lol
Good luck.

I'm just north of you-in Nacodoches on Lake Nac. Same sentiment from me-green toughens the hunt, but helps with quality. Watch out for that new rule-GW enforce it by the letter."Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.

My property backs up to over 3k acres of the National Forest which also has pros and cons. When it's green like this year it is a big con, but on the tough years it is big pro as my feeders are the only game in town. Hey it is all fun, the hunt is the best part, getting a deer is only the cherry on top. We will see what happens in a few weeks to a month. A couple of years ago it was like this in August and early Sept. but then turned and by mid November they were all over the feeders. Either way I'll be in the woods and like 45ACP said there is a lot of time for scouting between now and then. I'll be back up there this weekend.....Pro Staff - Bounty Hunter Turbo Buzz, Creme Lures, New Pro Products, & K9 Fishing Fluorocarbon

Just more gov regulations and interference and I really dont believe they know. Awhile back, our place was over run w/ basket racks and spikes. We went on a program for about 3 years and eradicated a very large number of inferior deer from 60 + years of in breeding. It was almost an over night difference in quality. Now, when it comes to this time of year; you see sometime 6-8 good ol boys hanging together w/ quality racks
