Nice job on the two birds. Turkey were active in Unit 1 on Friday, but tough and almost no vocalization on Sat. other than on the roost for a few minutes in the morning. Cold mornings in the 20's make it tough to sit for any length of time with two kids. The Toms we did see were strutting. One was with four hens and another was with one hen. It looks like they got several inches of snow on Sunday after we left, which is a good thing as it was super dry with many tanks empty. Big Lake was as low as I have ever seen it.

still for sale?

Has anyone heard any reports from Big Lake or other lakes? We fished up there on the turkey youth hunt and nada. Some friends went two weeks ago and still only a few bites after a day of fishing.

The road to Big Lake just past Sheep's Crossing on Saturday. The snow plows couldn't get through and neither could the graders/blowers.

Nice job. great looking buck

Awesome.... nice buck

Nice Job.

On the ranch. I was up there on Sat. and saw 5 herds of about 10 - 15 in each. I also saw two solo bucks. All bucks including the herd bucks were small. I was also expecting to see more. I didn't see anyone else scouting antelope, but saw plenty scouting for elk. Only two scouting for elk had seen any antelope. This was my first time hunting unit 10 so I was mainly trying to cover a lot of area and figure out the roads. I did see a bachelor group of elk on a tank right about dusk.

Nice looking buck. how much more was the pedestal? Is that considered a "custom pose" or is that a standard shoulder mount?

Thanks How much pressure is there? Do the herds migrate much?

Super excited to draw a unit 10 rifle tag. First time hunting unit 10. From prior posts it appears that there is good hunting on the public side, but curious to know if extra fees are worth it to hunt on the Boquillas side? Do they limit the number of hunters on Boquillas or is anyone with a tag eligible to purchase a permit?
