It's those hot, windy days that can hurt you in South Texas, especially during the first month or so of the season. That compares to 105 for all of last season. Year before last was our best, with 152 jacket bucks. I don't know if we'll top that or not, but I feel safe in saying that this season will at least be in second place. Quantity is not the only impressive aspect of this season.
Quality is much better than average.
Los Cazadores has scored five bucks grossing at least 200 points and four in the 190s. In fact, it's been hard for us to locate mature 140-class bucks. Having deer with too many antlers is a problem that most hunters would enjoy facing, but this is that kind of rare year. And with a strong rut beginning, the next two or three weeks should face some of the best hunting of the year in the deep brush of South Texas. Now, if we only can figure a way to erase the full moon Dec. 22.
