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.

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.

Sweet grass over corn

Hunting has been tough. The rain we had 10 days ago along with mild temps has brought the rye grass and other sweet winter grasses up that these deer love to browse on. The deer have not been on corn for the last 5 days. They will get their fill of it and move back to corn shortly. We have taken 7 doe and two bucks to this point. Had a hunter see a monster Saturday but had no shot.
