Kinda piggybacking off my food plot thread before the season, how did y’all do this year? I ended up with 3 total. A nice 8 point and two nice sized does. Freezer full of meat. I’ve only been heavy into deer hunting the last 5-6 years and this is the first season I’ve taken multiple deer. So, I was pretty excited. Actually got to watch a bunch of deer this year and I let quite a few walk, which was kinda nice for a change.

Also, I’ve never tried any off season feeding. Do y’all have any recommendations for feed types, like protein, minerals, etc.? I’d like to help the remaining deer get healthier, and maybe even entice some new deer to my property.

Thanks!

2 bucks and a doe


I’ve come to realize that if you’re making jerky’s and hot sticks out of venison, for the most part, it’s easy to blow through 3-5 deer between February and October.

6pt in backyard, 7pt in the Orleans marsh, 10pt in Woodville, and a doe in a small lease by the house. Nothing huge, but lots of fun hunts and plenty meat for the year.

Shot one deer with my bow and it was just this past Sunday. My son missed 3 this year. Daughter had a few opportunities with her bow but something went wrong each time. Told them it was just hunting luck coming up wrong this year. First year in the last 6 that they have not shot a deer. They normally each kill multiple deer a year. Putting it behind us and looking forward to next year.

1 boar no deer

Eldest son missed a cow horn spike that would have been his first deer

Saturday is our last day of the season so fingers crossed we can get one.

1 boar, 1 buck (6pt). Was a pretty terrible year, but was to be expected with the logging. I saw a few spikes and 4 points that i let go. Expecting a good year next year!

My son and I had a pretty good year. He killed an 8,7, and 6 point. And I killed 3 does.

But we saw a deer or 2 on almost every hunt and let plenty of them walk.

It got hairy towards the end as it seems every weekend things kept popping up. I finally had a good day to watch the field for a couple of hours. We have some meat in the freezer and new ideas for cooking it.

Saw fewer bucks and only one mature buck all year. My 8 year old killed his first doe, my 10 year old killed an 8 point his first racked deer, and I shot a doe.

Saw deer on all but one hunt this year.

Decent year for the weather we had. Shot a handful of decent bucks both on our high fence and low fence property. Mostly let friends/family do the shooting this year.

Management bucks







Low fence bucks






Only buck I killed this year



Now its time to get after the varmints

Killed a nice buck with my bow. If you are a member of QDMA, there will be a story in their magazine coming out soon.

Was the only deer I killed this past season.

fairly slow season but got a few good ones. 2 does with bow and with rifle 15" 8 point, 16" 6 point that should have been an 8 but no brows at all, and a really nice 17" heavy 9 point. Only saw 2 other legal bucks all season and just a handful of small bucks. Several does but buck sightings were below average for sure.
