This is my quail lease and quail are almost non-existant this year. A buddy and I went up for a couple of days, this property is 37k acres and part of a 140k acre ranch. We drove about 200 miles over 2.5 days. Shot ducks, hogs and yots and took a bunch of deer, both mule and whitetail pics. The deer hunters on this ranch are on a strick management program and the ranch has its own biologist onsite. It is low fence and the deer hunters get one mature buck 5.5 years of age or older.
The deer on the right just got finished kicking the arse of the deer on the left. I got pics but at 400 yards, in high grass, they didn't come out.
Here is the deer on the left after it got its butt kicked.
This guy was chasing a doe. The biologist put him on the do not kill list and thinks he is a 4.5 year old deer.
Here he is from the back
I saw these two at the camp house feeder, but at 400 yards, in the early morning light, I could not see antlers and thought they were does. When I started looking through the photos I notice the antlers. These deer were visible through the window.

What’s the name of the ranch? I know a guy that owns one there about that size
Posted on 12/20/19 at 8:38 am to Run up middle
We are asked to not use the ranch's name on social media, but this isn't owned by an individual.
Posted on 12/20/19 at 8:50 am to wickowick
Ok. This one is an individual that owns it with another part in New Mexico. Awesome deer and bird hunting there.

Curious why? Seems like Texas has been in a bit of a wet cycle the past few years? Of course I know it's totally local. It can be dramatically different in just a few miles.
Do they have records on historical bird numbers? I'm curious about their cycle and what controls it.

Drought hit Texas real bad this year

This summer we were seeing good numbers of quail from the road, then we had 8-10 weeks of no rain and many days over 100 degrees.
Rolling Plains Quail Research is about 100 miles south of us and they have about 4500 acres. This is their bird numbers form past years based on helicopter surveys

Thats a beautiful deer. And to think they are giving him at least one more year....
Bonus question, do mule deer taste the same as whitetails?
