Is a big buck looking at you?
by Thompson Temple
A buck can frequently see you
before you see him. 1 was sitting in
one of my blinds trying to photo-
graph a big 12-point buck that my
guide Chip Harmon had spotted. A ,,
mosquito landed on my ear I swat- (\ A
ted it away and heard the blowing
whistle of an alarmed deer A large
doe blew again and bounded away
with her tail up. The gorgeous 12-
point buck was right on her tail. I
did not get a picture. I did not even
get my camera up!
Probably the most difficult part
of deer hunting for me is being still
in the blind. Another big problem is
keeping the deer from smelling me.
Who can let a mosquito suck blood
without reacting? Who can know
when the wind will shift directions
and blow straight from you to the
deer? Is this your problem'’
Help for the above problems can
be found at your local sporting
goods store. Get yourself a camou-
flage head net and camouflage
gloves. Buy raccoon urine in a bot-
tle and spray it on your stand This
will help. Notice. I said help. I did
not say it would fix the situation.
I was sitting in an elevated blind
with my son when a young buck
appeared. He was crossing from
right to left at a distance I whis-
pered to my son, “He is going to get
to where we walked in Let’s see
what happens." The buck stopped
exactly where we walked, smelled
the ground and ran back where he
came from.
I have taken the same raccoon
urine and sprayed it on the bottom
of my boots. I believe that this can
help with the above situation
I feed com behind my house I
have fed about 63 times this sum-
mer I put out about 30 pounds a
day. On two occasions I have seen a
big 10-point buck and on 61 times
he did NOT come to eat c -m! If you
have a blind in a good spot anJ do
everything right, you still might not
get your buck.
With these difficulties, why does
THIS WIDE SPREAD whitetail buck
on the skyline has already seen the
photographer.

anyone hum deer? I love deer hunt-
ing. I have hunted for 30 years or
more. It is a challenge, and is a
sport you can play even after your
knees arc loo bad for basketball I
like to eat venison I save the racks.
I get the big bucks mounted. I sit in
my stand and watch the squirrels. I
find peace from a busy schedule. I
think through my problems I con-
sider and give thanks for my bless-
ings. I pray. When a buck comes in
I still gel buck fever When my son
was about 12 years old he said
“Dad, when 1 saw that coyote,
something happened and I lost my
breath.” Good hunting! Persons

Are spike bucks
really inferior?
by Thompson Trmple
When the good Lord made the
whitetail deer he did a great job! I
love to just sit and watch them. I
have seen spike bucks grow into
bucks that I can sell to my hunters.
I have sat and listened to a hundred
discussions on the merits and
demerits of spike bucks.
I decided to visit the Kerr Wild-
life Management Area where all the
spike buck studies were done and
see what they had. I w'as met by
Eugene Fuchs and Bill Armstrong.
Eugene very graciously took me for
a tour I was presented the results of
the work done there.
They have over 300 deer in their
pens. They keep track of every buck
and every doe with ear tags. They
do have and have had a large num-
ber of bucks that are I'/: years old
They have kept data on the bucks
antlers by catching all the bucks and
cutting their antlers off! They have
done this for many years.
If you go to the Kerr Wildlife
Area, then you can see what I saw.
They have all the racks for you to
look at. They took all the racks from
the 4'/: year old bucks and separat-
ed them based on ones that were
spikes at I1/: and those that had 3
points or more at 1V: years old.
There was a huge difference
between the two groups of antlers.
The spike bucks were not near as
big as the multi-point bucks. Bill
Armstrong pointed out to me a
spike that developed into a 10-point
buck. He also showed me a multi-
point yearling that only got 8 points
at 47: years of age. I am telling the
truth when I say that the spike buck
antlers were a whole lot smaller
than the multi-point yearlings when
they got to be 47: years old!
You should go see Eugene and
Bill and look at their work. They are
dedicated. Their work is fascinating
to any deer enthusiast. You should
call before you go and make sure
that they are not busy. You can call
to set up your tour at 1-830-238
4483. There is no charge.

Working water safety patrol on
Lake Nocona in late May, warden
Ronnie Brooks noticed two people
on personal watercrafts (PWC) rac-
ing up and down close to the shore-
line, trying to tltrow wakes on each
other and nearly colliding. Brooks
was able to get them to stop, and
received a standing ovation from
the crowd along the shore. Citations
were issued for operating a PWC
within 50-feet of another PWC.

Mitchell County warden Randy
Bullard assisted the sheriff’s office
on a family disturbance call at Lake
Colorado City. An intoxicated man
from the residence took a boat that
did not belong to him in order to
avoid the law enforcement officers.
When Bullard found the boat, the
subject was no longer in the boat
and he was believed to have
drowned. Then, another call came
from the same residence stating that
the subject swam there and was
causing trouble again He was ar-
rested on several charges, including
boating while intoxicated.
Should I stay, or should
I go? One ticket or
three tickets?
While checking goose hunters in
early January, Gray County warden
Jerry Stucki saw a subject who had
been hunting earlier that day take
notice of him and take off in his
truck After a lengthy chase, Pampa
police and DPS troopers finally
stopped the subject. The man was
cited for no seat bell, excessive
speed and no insurance. When
asked why he fled, the subject stat-
ed that he didn’t have a hunting
license.
