Texas Whitetail Buck

This is a very young buck with very impressive antlers for his age (11-pt.).  He will be a true trophy buck in a few years if we continue to get the moisture we need from Mother Nature.

White-Tail Buck

Deer hunting season opened this weekend in Texas.  This white-tail buck made an appearance Saturday morning near my blind.  A group of us have 1000 acres leased on the Shield Ranch in central Texas.  The deer populations on the ranch have been in decline the past several years, but they seem to be making a strong comeback, thanks to our good management practices and perhaps because of my new “shoot and release” philosophy.
