It was the same bad luck at all our hunting locations this year, La Mota ranch in Benavides, the De La Garza ranch south of Benavides and Rancho Sueno Mio in Mathis TX, just no bucks moving around, plenty of does and spikes, but what really shocks me is that we saw only two yearlings and no fawns!!! Not Good, but plenty of hogs moving around and lots of Dove!!!  We are going to step up our wildlife management and plant some food plots, dig a nice pond, and just do a better job of attracting wildlife for next year!!!

You would think the rain would help stimulate the wildlife activity, but clearly there has been a downfall on production at least at our locations.  I absolutely prefer pork over Venison, I guess all these years it had been so easy to harvest enough vension to last all year, and now that the porkers began showing up at the feeders, it looked like that would have been the preferred game animal, but now there is nothing, no piggies or deer, just coons!!!  Well, there is always next year and hopefully during the off season if we keep feeding corn the pigs will come back!!!

We are thinking it's a good spot, got only one problem, a bad neighbor who does not respect hunting ethics and we suspect might be poaching on our land.  Since we are not always around to patrol the property, we are suspecting that he may be harvesting animals near our hunting set up and dragging them across to his property, regardless, this could cause a serious problem.  Hopefully, there is enough wildlife in the area for everyone, ethical or not!!!
