    Today wasn’t our day again, it was cold and there was a nice little breeze. There were ducks flying, just couldn’t get them interested in coming down into the spread. Then as we were packing up, ole green jeans stopped by, I am all legal so not worried. But it was funny when I showed him my bag of shot shells he had to move a couple of empty flasks!!!

    HerbcoFood I have dealt with a few of those Texas game wardens, always seemed pretty reasonable to me. I have dealt with some in other states whose attitude was you did something wrong I just haven’t caught you. I told one if there weren’t any hunters, he probably wouldn’t have a job.

            HerbcoFood always good to get to know those guys. I have gotten to know a couple of game wardens over the years and when there is a problem, I know who I can call. They always will point you in the right direction, plus if you hunt in the areas they patrol, they will always remember who you are and how you were to them.

              johnsbrewhouse Ran in to one in Kansas, after he was done checking all the licenses (I think there were about 10 hunters from 5 different states), he told us about some farmers who he thought would let us hunt their land. We had plenty of areas to hunt but I thought that was very nice of him.

                So I went out on the hardwater today and caught one perch! It wasn’t even a keeper!!! Marked fish all day on the vexilar and they just didn’t want to cooperate today no matter what you threw at them! But Austin would be proud, this was my snack!

                              The deer I was out hunting didn’t show up, but this cull buck made a mistake by walking out. We aged him by his bottom jaw at 4.5, so he really needed to be culled out. I am turning the entire son of gun into ground burger meat.

                                  HerbcoFood You guys are amazing at being able to tell the age in a split second while your trigger finger is going crazy and twitching. I don’t hunt. But, see many deer fairly close to me. I applaud you guys for being that skilled.

                                      zbigjeff Yeah, it takes a lot of research of looking at photos of deer. Then also discussing with others on their thoughts. But of course aging is very regional, a 4.5 year old in the area of Texas I hunt will look nothing like a 4.5 year old corn fed Iowa deer. It is difficult at times, it is also fun having those discussions.

                                        Also note that the actual aging of a deer doesn’t take place till it’s down. The wear of the teeth on the lower jaw is what determines the age of the deer.

                                        On a buck you can get an approximation of its age by observation of the animal’s physique.

                                        Like most male humans, a buck’s body progressively fills out as it ages, assuming good health and diet.
