Last whitetail hunt of the 2009 season.....what a fantastic year!!!!

This past weekend’s hunt closes out the 2009 whitetail season for 5 Star. Although we harvest 1 of the three trophy deer, we still managed to have a great time, which is extremely easy to do with Randy, Gary, and Mitchell in camp.Mitchell was the lucky one who harvested the 159 6/8 flyer buck on the second day of the hunt. It’s not that we didn’t see plenty of mature deer; Gary and Randy were looking for deer over 170, and to say we hunted hard for this quality of deer on the 9,000 acre south Texas ranch is an understatement. We rattled in around 45 bucks in two days….and the crazy thing about that is the rut is in full swing mid December. You can’t kill a giant whitetail sitting in the lodge you have to go out and bet the brush and try to make things happen. We had several close call sat the caliber of deer we were hunting but for one reason or another it just didn’t happen for us. The last morning of the hunt it felt like the good lord was shining down on Randy and I. The last hour of his hunt we came very close in smacking two deer over 170, one of which was a main frame 12 point. Thanks again Randy, Gary and Mitchell for a great hunt!!! We’ll see y'all next year!
