Of course the elk season ended a week prior to this.
Sweet vanes.My view right now. Nothing all day… Rebel arrow vanes….
Curious,, Why do they like alkali ground??.. Thanks..Sitting for Antelope. There is a patch of alkali ground they like at about 450 yards. I have taken several there. They usually come frolicking in right before dark.
It gets windy but most times it a headwind. The slats are wind multipliers so you have to dress warm. I often thank god I grew up in Maine working outside……

Not sure. Minerals? salt? Took a bit for me to figure out why they came to this one area with little vegetation and pawed at the ground. Then during the right conditions it turn white.Curious,, Why do they like alkali ground??.. Thanks..

I have another place nearby where I have taken three Antelope. I spot a small group on private land headed a certain direction and I know right where they are headed. I set up a ground position and they saunter in on to public land to these patches of tan colored grass that are different from everything around. I call it “sweet grass” but I am convinced there is more to it.. There is no cover at all and the shot is 400 -600+ so I have to get in position ahead![]()
Nice little buck I didn’t shoot.
That buck would not be legal in my county either. Plenty tall but not wide enough
MS allows you 1 to be any antlered deer. So 1 of 3 or 4 in certain parts, gives you some room to have fun.That buck would not be legal in my county either. Plenty tall but not wide enough
The rule I am speaking of is county specific. In other parts of Texas that buck and the one I pictured would both be legal.MS allows you 1 to be any antlered deer. So 1 of 3 or 4 in certain parts, gives you some room to have fun.
From ms rules for our area: “A legal buck is defined as having EITHER a minimum inside spread of 10 inches OR one main beam at least 13 inches long.”MS allows you 1 to be any antlered deer. So 1 of 3 or 4 in certain parts, gives you some room to have fun.
Lol. From the regs:From ms rules for our area: “A legal buck is defined as having EITHER a minimum inside spread of 10 inches OR one main beam at least 13 inches long.”
he just wouldn’t stand still for a ruler!
AND, you are correct - one may be take that does not meet the criteria.
