Just got back from the lease in the Panhandle of Texas. After a very slow start, an inch of snow the first day followed by six inches the next day, things started heating up. Not the weather of course the hunting.
The first two days I saw nothing but some does. The third day I did get a small pig. I was really feeling down because I have never not gotten my deer at the lease on opening day
I started prepping my wife for the fact I may not be home for thanksgiving. That went over well...
On day four the sun came out, warmed up to a little above freezing and things started to happen. I got a pig and two deer on day four.
The county I hunt in has a one mulie limit, although on rare occasions you see a whitetail. This was one of the occasions. Man was he big compared to the whitetails I hunted in the southeast.
In the interest of full disclosure the mulie wasn't shot with a cast boolit out of the Contender. It was a 202 yard shot and I am not that good. I used the 300 WM
for that.
It was a great hunt but I am glad to be home.
