8 more days! Thanksgiving morning, if it ain't too cold, I'll try to be watchin' this late planted food plot. It looks like there are 2 does with twins, 1 with a single fawn and several yearling hangin' around most of the time. There is only 1 buck that will be legal according to the new rules. The rut will usually allow you to see several different bucks, but in the mean time, I'd take a shot at the fork horn if he continues to hang with the regular bunch. Maybe mentioned before, we only get 4 doe days south of I-10, the Sat &Sun's after Thanksgiving and Christmas.
It was 23 degrees this am, with a big frost. This is from a pretty decent thermometer with an out side sensor hangin' in a cedar tree, it is always very close to what is reported on TV and on-line from various weather sources. This morning the game camera showed 13 degrees around day light, then an hour later it was up to 23. Makes you wonder what's goin' on? Miss Joy was up at the church this am and another lady told her they had 16 degrees at their farm. Air drainage has a lot to do with temperatures and maybe it was 13 degrees 200 yards fro the house where it was 23
Pictures for this week: buck and does, close up of rye, 1 from this morning showing temperature (how accurate is the temperatures printed by a Moultrie D55R?) and then an interesting bunch of ice I spotted, almost feather like.

I see frost "spew" like that on occasions when the conditions are right. I always mean to grab my camera and get some close-up macro pics of it, but never do. SOmetimes it is in real pretty shapes like ribbon. Thanks for the update and good luck next week!
I was thankful for the rain and this hard freeze. I think it will improve the hunting conditions tremendously.
Always a pleasure to view and read the "Panhandle Food Plot Series"!
Keep up the good work and good luck opening day.
Hopefully things continue to improve with the "New Knee". God bless to you and yours!

Well tomorrow is the big day, Thanksgiving and opening day of rifle season in Zone D, Deer Management Unit 1 :rolleyes .
First, Happy Thanksgiving to y'all!
We've had over 3 inches of rain since Sunday, nothing is boggy, we needed the water. No legal bucks lately on the camera, just nannys' and little ones.
Still had a section of roof panel to replace so took care of that last Friday, before dinner. Miss Joy wouldn't let me go by myself. Her reasoning was, "Who'll call 911 if you fall?" :eek Needless to say it went well, she took a few pictures of me on the ladder that I had to stand in the back of the truck to reach the top of the shootin' house. She keeps sayin', "You're too old to do this or that.....". I did hire a guy to help with some plumbing on Monday, can't get under the sink but I can climb a ladder!
A few pics for this week.
