Bow Season update

Bow season is in full swing. Most of my hunters have had success. Our older bucks have peeled away from the younger bucks. My guess is one more cold front and we will see the front end of the rut starting, which is unusual and early, but mother nature and her weather drive that activity. It is a welcome sight. I have plenty of animals and stands. Check my website for pricing. Call to book a hunt.



Axis will be available by the end of the year. I'll have prices out by mid December. I should have 20 plus trophy axis bucks beyond 30 inches. Plenty of axis doe and  24 Elk and some Fallow.

Day bow and rifle hunts

I now have 10 feeders up and running with 10 bow stands on them on one ranch. Five of those also have box blinds on them. I also have 5 stands on another large ranch that are hand fed each day. If you don't have a lease or are just getting into bow hunting, give me a try. My success is your success. The only ways you wont get a shot are if you get busted or miss, because I have the animals.

Bow stands are up and I am now feeding. Season starts September 27th. Book it now

Doves   I had a ton of birds back in June. However we have had three somewhat powerful and freaky cold fronts in July and August. As of this post my birds are gone. That can all change with one big weather system. As soon as they show I will blog and facebook to get the word out.

I also offer evening rabbit hunts in December January and February.

Ducks.  Tons of grass in river. If mother nature will push the birds down duck season will be awesome.

Turkeys  Damn I have them Bastrop county is April only and a one gobbler county.  TPWD needs to change our bag limits.

Bass fishing  Colorado river. February thru May are the best months to catch real good quality on the river. Lots of 3-8 lb fish caught during these months.

Wow

Getting married to the best woman in the world this Saturday. That explains the lack of my blogging.  I cant wait.

I am very excited about the upcoming dove and archery only season. I have several ranches loaded with game for this year. Dove season opens September 1, which is a Monday and Memorial day. As of this post I do have some open spots for opening day.The second weekend is booked full. I charge $40 a gun. You cant beat that price anywhere.

Bow season opens September 27. My stands My corn  I put you in  I pick you up  I help you find your kill and help you clean it if you like. $50 sit fee.  Kill fee on all animals. Doe are$250 and bucks start at $400 and go up.  Pigs are $50 a piece and lord I have them. I have three ranches that I will offer rifle hunts on for bucks only as this county has antler restrictions and doe can only be taken in the archery only season unless TPWD grants me some MLD tags for doe.

Deer---  Best fawn crop I have seen in 10 years. I have seen more twins than you can shake a stick at. Almost every mature doe has a little one with her

Fish---  Lake Bastrop bass are schooling hard and will continue as long as the hot weather and bait hold up.

Colorado River---  Most fisherman are struggling  Hot weather and  shallow water is tough unless you can cast to cover. I am still catching big numbers on top water and square bill crank baits with yellow bodies. This river trip is tons of fun. My river and lake trip half days are $300. I provide everything including water and cold fried chicken.

If you want to experience the outdoors I have it and can put you on it


Bob

2014/2015 deer season

Bow season will be here before you know it. Rumor has it the season will open September  27th this year. However TPWD wont publish anything until Aug 15th. I offer day bow and rifle hunts. Book your spot now. The first week will fill fast.


Bob

PS  I always have pigs for any of you pig hunters

Upcoming 2014/2015 deer season

For all you bow and rifle hunters, I now have 4 real good tracts to hunt. My hunts are very affordable and my hunters success rates are is as good as it gets.  Yes its mainly a meat hunt but I do have some very good antlers taken every year. My prices have changed a bit. Check my website out for those changes. I also have an axis herd started. First round babies are on the ground. These animals will be available to hunt by bow or rifle by end of this year.Why travel and pay thousands of dollars for a lease,food,fuel,corn, and stands.   I have all you want right here in Bastrop 21 miles from the airport. I have the pigs and have changed pricing on them as well. I just need 3 days notice in order to insure you a good chance of taking at least a pig if not 10.

Bob

Axis hunts

I do have an axis herd started.  They will be available to hunt by bow or rifle by end of this year. I will have doe and buck prices out by mid summer. Why travel outwest or down south when you can hunt one right here in central Texas

Bob

Outdoor update

The river below austin caught some good rain and rose about 6.5 feet a week ago. This really flushed the river good. Almost all the Hyacinths and about half the duck weed went down stream. There is still plenty of duck weed for duck season, and the birds have just started to show up, tho the majority of our birds wont be until the second duck season starts. The river is now low and clearing fast. The black and spotted bass should be biting really good. Big rain expected this weekend may muddy the river and slow the bass fishing down. Bow season started very slow with heavy rain over opening weekend which also gave these deer a good browse to work on instead of corn. In the last few days the deer seem to have gotten their fill of rye and other sweet grasses and are back on the corn. If you have oak trees, you still have an acorn problem. Time and moisture will cure that problem. We had a really nice 11 point with a 3 inch drop tine taken yesterday evening. My bow hunts are mainly a meat hunt, but I do have some very nice antlers to be had. I now post most of my pics on Facebook.

Hunters Harassment Act

This law was put into place to protect the rights of Hunters in the state of Texas. It has teeth.  Class B misdemeanor. Last year me and my hunters were harassed multiple times by nosey tree hugging neighbors on the tract behind Walmart. It is perfectly legal to bow hunt. Both game wardens are fully aware of everything I do, because I make them aware. Now I am being harassed by another nosey tree hugging neighbor on my other day lease. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.  Thats why I posted it here, since you dont have the balls to call me. Land owner is aware, game wardens are aware, owners agent is aware. Other than those three entities its nobody elses business.

Upcoming 2013/2014 Bow season

My stands are up and I am feeding and watching. My doe numbers look good and I have seen 9 shooter bucks, 3 of which are real good and one of them is a big nasty freak. I have 1 maybe two spots open for opening weekend. I dont know of anybody that can beat what I offer  for the price I charge.


My doves have been beat up. Most of the local birds have been thinned out. Bird hunting will be slow until we get several cold fronts in to bring some northern birds down.

Duck season should be slamming good this year. Grass everywhere and the birds love it. Grass is so bad it has chewed up my impellar and the housing. Going to stainless steal on the next one.

Get ready for stickin time

Bob

River update/Bow season

I spent 5 hours on the river  yesterday and the day before. As I continue to say the grass is out of control. Bass fishing on the river remains slow. The only way we are catching any fish right now is a texas rigged brush dropped in the deepest cover you can find. I need some cooler temps. That will help the bite on the river. The grass will be a major problem until we get a flood or winter temps knock the grass back.  I had 3 different hoses on my motor blow off yesterday from sucking grass up in my jet foot. Lake Bastrop remains the best place to catch numbers. However, it too has been a little slow lately with all the cloud cover we have been getting from the upper level low in the gulf. By Wednesday we should be back under high pressure and the schooling activity should pick up.


Bow season is all but here. As of today, I have one big tract to hunt, but am working on two others. Stands are up and I am feeding. Book now to save a spot. I am almost full for opening weekend unless I can get another tract.


Bob


PS  Dont forget about Duck Season.  The only thing all this grass in the river is good for is bringing tons of ducks in. Duck season will be slamming good.

River vs Lake

Mother nature controls what I can do and when I can do it. The river right now is tough. Its off colored and not rock bottom low. Too make it worse the grass is as bad as I have ever seen it. With that said, as it drops in late summer big numbers will be caught, but I need the drop. The drop in water will clear the river and make these fish chase baits.

Lake Bastrop---- I dont normally take clients to the lake as I am set up for the river. However, if you want to catch fish you have to change your plans sometimes. I know this lake like I know the river. Our lake fish are starting to school. Schooling fish are the most fun and enjoyable experience you can imagine.  At their peak these fish look like pirhannas on the surface. They are very close to that point.  Dont miss out.


Today I had a young man from Colorado who is leaving for Afghanistan in two days. He will stay for 9 months. He is a part of military intelligence and is taking a group of interrogators over there. I have the upmost respect for all our military, and after spending 6 hours with this home grown Colorado  native but Texas AGGIE fishing and talking, I feel like this country is in just a little bit better place with this one man going over there. He has no fear. His direction is good and he made me feel proud to be an American, simply because I got to see first hand what kind of person he is.  SUPPORT OUR MILITARY.  They are why we get to hunt and fish and live a free life. Most of the rest of the world does not.

Turkey hunt yesterday

Not all my turkey hunts are successful. Yesterday I had a guy from Austin come in to hunt. We had 20 mph southeast to east winds blowing, and they blew all the way to dark. As you can imagine this made  calling difficult at best. We moved 6 times trying to get lucky and set up upwind from some birds. No luck. And to add insult to injury we drove up on 5 gobblers past legal shooting time. Going back Friday morning. Turkeys won that battle, but I will win the war.

Bob

This evening turkey hunt

I had a hunter call me late today ,that wanted to turkey hunt. I have birds. Good birds and good numbers. Our first set was a blank. So we moved a few hundred yards. I hadnt hit the call twice and we had birds at 200 yds. It took less than 6 minutes and we had 6 gobblers stupid close. My guy got his bird and I just couldnt help myself. I took one too. We saw no less than 50 birds driving in.  I think I have about 12-15 mature gobblers at least 3 years or older. Bastroip county is a one gobbler county and month of April only. These birds I am on are hot and have not been called much at all other than me calling last year. $250 is a great price if you check around and see what turkey hunts are going for. Call now if you want one.
