Not that anybody at Casa Rosenauer has been counting, but as I sit down and write this Tale the 2024-2025 White Tail Deer Season is exactly one month away from starting.
While we had “pretty much okay” rainfall amounts in the Spring and Early Summer, things have sure turned off dry of late. Of course, it is nowhere near the first- and only-time things have not been ideal from a body weight and antler development year in La Brasada. And somehow the deer herd manages to keep on going.
On my own locations, I have put out cameras to begin general evaluations of the wildlife overall, and especially the body conditions and antler development for the deer. I don’t have a firm viewpoint yet. Except for the following key points.
- I have spent plenty of $ this year on feed to support the wildlife.
- I need to do some more tractor work and blind cleaning to get things in top notch order.
- I better hurry up and check my deer rifles one more time to make sure they are properly sighted in.
- I plan to be having a grand old time out in La Brasada, along with Family and Friends over the next several months.
I can confidently make the statements above because of one VERY Important Key Fact. That these things have been true for many decades when this special time of the year finally arrives! And Lord Willing, it will continue for a good while longer.
