Dale 2014 Pics
Big Boy!!! - 6.5 years old - Harvested on 1/30/15
He was taken on the morning of Jan 30, 2015 at the Wonder Blind - by Jacob Spradling - a well deserved 1st deer! Now, good luck topping that one!!! LOL
HUGE TEN!!! He's probably 5.5yrs old + - Droptine <SHOOTER>
If you see him, you'd better shoot him. He is an amazing trophy. The perfect 10!
BIG 8Pt - 5.5 yrs old <SHOOTER>
He's lost weight since October (1st pic) - his rack is small for his age/size. Study the face, around his eyes, and the antler characteristics - this is the one most likely to be confused about when determining if he is indeed a shooter. Make sure you know it is him before you pull the trigger.
Cull for THIS year!!!! <SHOOTER>
Easy to identify - huge brow tine on the right side. His antler characteristics make him easy to know its him. Study. Shoot. Eat. Yum.
Hogs!!!!

Deer Blinds & Feeder Photos
Droptine Blind (formerly Blitch Blind - south central, 8'x4' wooden, on 4' stand, near Walden Pond)
Hogs are showing up almost every morning at sunrise and sunset. Lots of hog action from 8:30-11:45pm.
One corn feeder (pics directly below) in front of the blind at 90 yards, and one corn to the left (east) about 95 yards, which also has a protein feeder (both are fenced in), pics further below.

Droptine - Protein/Corn fenced in feeders
Third Eye Blind - 4'x6' wooden blind on 6' stand (in open field - 2nd closest to the house)
Two shitting lanes, and a small third, facing left when looking straight out of the blind.
Beast Blind (4'x6' cam0 fiberglass on 6' stand , far East of property, near open field)
Great Hog Wallow location...set of pecan trees to the left of the feeder in pics, right of the feeder when looking from the blind. Cattle use to live in this area, so not a lot of deer activity. Hopefully that changes now that the cattle are gone.
Beast Blind (area - old feeder) lots of turkeys!
Wonder Blind - 4'x6' fiberglass blind on 5' stand, located near 3rd Eye Blind (North Central of property)
Great shooting lanes in all 4 directions. The one in front of the blind will be opened up to over 100 yards soon.
Blind Spot - wooden blind closest to the house (5'x6') on 6 ft stand
Has one feeder, east of the blind, with a small "pond" directly in front of it. Shooting lanes all 4 directions. "Huge" spotted here.
The Nest (4'x4' wooden blind on 10' metal stand, south central - south of Donut Pond)
Need to clear a shooting lane just north of the stand to put a feeder - this is on the southern boundary line...literally on it. 2 shooting lanes now, but narrow, as they are right next to the fence. One more will be cleared soon, facing northeast, hopefully.
