First Big Buck he saw in 7 yrs,NICE Trophy 8pt.He was so nerveious he couldn't talk,couldn't text,And at first he couldn't find the deer,when he calmed down after awhile the deer was only 20 yds from feeder.  LOL

I am tired of the pigs.  Atleast he is by himself.  Earlier in the year I was haveing 15-25 hogs at this feeder at one time.  I guess that is the problem with feeding year round.

I was going thru my game pics and found this beauty.  Looks like he is posing, too bad the feeder wasn't just a little more to the right but not complaining!  Score anybody?

My feeder in Southern Brown County, TX

My Feeder

Dad took these pics of a deer and turkey sharing some of our feeder space in the back.  They both look like they could use a little bit of meat on their bones.

It was my first time deer hunting and it was the Youth Hunt weekend in the end of October of 2009 at our family friend's BNL Ranch. My dad and I were sitting in the blind when we saw two bucks at the nearest feeder. I loaded the gun and aimed at the 10 pointer and shot at it. Sadly, I missed so i loaded and shot at it again. And I shot it! After my dad's friends and their kids were done, my dad and I headed toward the feeder and saw that even though I missed the 10 pointer, I shot the 6 pointer that was right next to it but neither I or my dad saw it fall! So now i have two sets of antlers above my bed mounted on my wall!

Captured this young mangy coyote eating corn from the feeder.  Racoon doesn't seem to worry about this obviously starving and sick little fella.  Nature is a cruel classroom.

I put water at all my stands its paying off.Works as good as a feeder
