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.

2014/2015 Hunting season

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.

Water and Woods

Colorado river fishing is good  Bass are stuck tocover in dead water  Riffles with rock can be productive with square bill crankbaits  in a yellow belly . Topwater bite is good as well. Beating the heat is the hard part.


Lake Bastrop fish are still schooling. They are finicky now. Really have to watch the size of shad they are on and match it.


Bow season starts September 27th   I offer day bow hunts for whitetail and axis doe. $50 sit fee  Plus kill fees on all animals  white tail doe $250   Axis doe $400.  My stands My corn.

Fish---- Deer----Pigs

Right now we are getting a good soaking rain. River will muddy and rise for sure   Channel cat will be on fire during the rise.

Lake Bastrop fish are schooling better everyday. They are a bit finicky on what they will eat, but I have the bait.

Axis---- Our axis will be ready to be harvested by bow or rifle by December at the latest

White tail--- Bow season is my favorite. Nothing like pulling them in stupid close for a good shot. Lord I have the animals.  Most of what I have is a meat hunt, but you cant beat my prices compared to anything else that has the success rate that my hunters have. Opening weekend will be booked  by August. So call now if you want a spot.


Pigs---  I got them thick. I feed them into two spots we sit in the brush and ambush them. Sometimes they ambush us. Makes for a real good time and damn good eating


Bob

2014/2015 Deer season

I now have 3 really good ranches with excellent numbers of doe and some good antlers for the upcoming bow season. Two of those ranches I will have rifle hunts on when the general season opens, and I should have some MLD permits for doe. I can accommodate 20 hunters a day. Opening weekend is always full. So , if you want a spot, I am taking bookings now.  I give my hunters the best possible chance to harvest an animal. Your success is my success. I give my hunters 2-3 hours in the morning and the same in the evening. $50 sit fee kill or no kill per day. Kill fees on all animals including pigs. You will save a ton of money hunting with me rather than paying for a lease, fuel, corn, stands, food, and so on.


Axis will be ready to hunt by December. Our pricing on these animals has not been set yet. I will only have doe available this year.

Bob

Pig Hunts Bastrop county

Pigs   I have them and they are thick. I feed them in on two different spots  I set you up in brush or blind depending on the wind. Then we whack em  Ill gut skin and quarter your kill . I will not clean big boar hogs as the meat is just nasty. $50 sit fee regardless of kill or not. $100 for first pig and $50 for every pig after the first one.  Tons of fun and damn good eating.


Bob

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.

10/14/13 Outdoor update

Wow  We needed the rain and the river took a huge flushing. Its no secret we have the biggest cold front so far approaching now. The front should hit this evening between 7-8 PM with the wind turning to the north and very heavy rain forecast. Behind the front we will see lows in the low 50's and a high Wednesday in the low 60's.  My best guess is that we will begin to see some early rutting activity behind this front. Moisture and cool temps usually turn them on. So far this season has been slow, but the quality has been good. I expect several animals to be taken with hunters in Wednesday and all weekend.  Dont forget about duck season. This river is a sleeper. It draws the birds in every year. As soon as the river drops and clears I will be checking all the spots I duck hunt and start  brushing blinds in.


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.

Animal retrieval

It happens every year. No matter how good we think we can shoot sometimes the animal jumps the string or moves on you as you release your arrow. None of us want to leave a tasty animal laying, especially after spending the time the money and the preparation that is involved with bow hunting. Those of us that do hunt understand what I am saying. Sometimes those horid movements cause bad hits and the animal makes a run that all of us have experienced. We know the animal will expire, but it may be a mile or two into it.  Our human eyes are good, but not nearly as good as the nose of a good dog.  I have a friend here in town that has a 4.5 year old Leopard dog that can find em even if you and friends have trampled the scent line. He is reasonable inside the county. His price goes up as he has to travel further. So, if you have one hit that you need to find, call me, text me or facebook me, and I will get you in touch with him

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.


Bob Jenkins

Yes, it's still legal to hunt in Texas

Tree huggers have cost me the day lease of one of my bow hunting spots. I have been harassed time and time again on that tract by adjoining landowners. So if you want to bow hunt, come now. I have about 10 days left. The last time I checked it’s still legal to hunt and fish in Texas.

Support your NRA. Support your game wardens and any other group that has anything to do with hunting and fishing. FYI. Hunters harassment act. You can use it if you are being harassed. I have a copy of the statute for any of you that want to read it. Our local game warden in Bastrop county has been very supportive of me and what I am doing. I am very grateful for that.

The ducks are moving in. It’s time to go get ‘em.

Get some tail

The river is now at a 50 year low as far as flow is concerned. The birds have begun to show up, but the main piles of them are not here yet. If you choose to run this river now, it is only navigable by jet foot or air boat. A boat with a prop will come back with no prop in this river right now. Duck season should be as good as it’s ever been. Beyond this Friday no more doe can be taken in Bastrop County unless you have MLD permits. However, I will still run bow hunts on the two tracts I have. We have seen multiple giants and at least a dozen more shooters. Bow hunters had a good evening. Big Mike took his first deer ever with a bow. It was a very nice 3.5 year old 9 point. (See my picture gallery.) Had two more guys take doe this evening.

Don’t hesitate to book a couple days of bow hunting. You might surprise yourself with a giant at very little cost. I have bow hunters, rifle hunters and duck season all over lapping now, so call ahead if you can. I do have help, but we can’t be in multiple places at one time.

TPWD has posted the 2012 duck season rules, definitions, and seasons on their website. My helpful links has their site. Early season Nov. 3- Nov. 25 ; Late season Dec. 8 2012- Jan. 27, 2013

Get Some Tail.

Big boys on the prowl

The bucks are moving. They are looking and searching for a mate. There are a few doe that are in, but most are not. The cold front coming this weekend should break a lot of these doe loose, and we should be seeing the big boys acting silly. Can’t stick ‘em on the couch…get in a tree.

Get your hunt and fish on

Bass fishing on river is getting better everyday. The spots are feeding up big time on crawfish. Crankbaits and Texas Rigged lizards and brush hogs with any shade of green are killing them. My deer hunters have been doing well. Had two big bucks seen in the last few days. Several doe have been taken in the last few days, and just got a text from a hunter in a tree, who has a doe down right now. The rut is starting and starting early this year. Duck season is closing in, and the first few birds have shown up. I expect duck season to be phenomenal this year with low water conditions and a ton of grass. Call now to book a hunt, the calendar’s filling up fast.

What a difference a day makes

Wow! Deer seem to be getting back to corn even though we have a ton of green stuff around for them. All hunters saw deer tonight. I had a chance to sneak out on river earlier for a few hours. Water has cooled. The bite is on. If you want to catch a ton of fish on the Colorado, you need to call me now and book a trip. Rain can muddy the river in a day or it can stay good for a month or two. The fishing is just flat good. Don’t miss a great chance. Come get’em!

We're off to a rough start this year

Roughest start to bow season I have had in a long time. It’s just been slow. Warm daytime temps with cool nights and rain have created a buffet for these deer that they haven’t had in a long time. Rye grasses along with a bunch of other sweet winter grasses are everywhere, and the deer are on them big time. Cold weather is the only solution I see.
