Bring your bino's. Deer are kinda small down here.
Best whitetail hunting is in the town of Lakeway on the west edge of Austin.
They just lay in the road in front of you and won't move...

Bagged few fruit flies and a centipede today. Didn't reached the bag limit. I think I need a bug zapper.
I'm hunting pheasants with this guy!
(If you mean firearms - either a 12 gauge Fabarm L4S or an old Ruger Red Label 28 gauge O/U).

Whitetail - archery, maybe firearms.

A beautiful English Setter, mentioned less frequently than its show off Irish cousin but just as beautiful with a gentler temperament. Really great.
Aberts squirrels in the white mountains of eastern Arizona. This was taken opening day, Oct 1.
This will be my view in one month. Looking forward to it. I need some back straps.
Little fella and me and a friend had a brief nature walk on opening morning (limited time). He did great even if we didn't bring anything home. Three solid, quivering points on hens and same on two roosters that unfortunately took off in directions that required us to spare them, lol. Good news I guess is I didn't have to use any of my "cellar" of shells. He's so much fun to watch and "gets it" more every time out. A pic of him a couple years ago on point over a rooster that was lightly hit and thought he'd snuggled in where he wouldn't be found!
Damn, come on snow. I still haven't gotten out yet. Almost wacked a couple bucks with the truck during the first week of the rut.
Killed a few mice that got in the house if that counts.

That is a beautiful dog, great choice of gun too, Fabarm makes a great autoloader. I use an XLR for ducks.
Archery opened here on Sept. 18, but I've barely gotten out. I shoot trad, so it's a 25 yd. max proposition. Didn't get a doe tag this year, so it's buck or nothing. Had one of the most impressive I've ever seen, at 25 yds. a couple weeks ago, but he showed up where I wasn't expecting and I didn't get a shot. I have a turkey tag, too, but I know nothing about turkey hunting... it's just in case a turkey decides to offer himself to me while I'm deer hunting ;-)
I took this chunky little 5 point at 4:30 pm on Michigan’s opening day of gun season (Nov. 15). Not one but two of his tines had broken tips, so he was a brawler. Unfortunately, I didn’t see the presumably bigger buck he sparred with. This area has a three points on one side restriction, and I spent about 10 minutes that morning trying to find the third tine on a 2x2 that was hanging out 30 yards from my blind. I had to let him go, and the 5 point was my reward for patience. It’s my first deer in 3 years, so I’m very happy. Looking forward to back straps, sausage sticks, jerky, bigos, chili, and tacos.
Other than the deer, the highlight of the hunt was getting the rare opportunity to watch a screech owl going from tree to tree for a few minutes, up close and personal.
That is a wonderfull photo. BTW, does the dogs breed normally have a pink nose. My Yellow Lab has one and is sort of rare and referred to as a Dudley Lab.
He's a Ryman (English) Setter - I've never gotten a definite answer but only some have the pink nose color and usually associated with the color "lemon" Belton but breeder says he's an "orange" where you'd normally see a darker nose. So not sure, lemon and orange are my two favorite citruses, lol, so I'll take either! The chestnuts and "blues" have darker black or brown noses.
A bull one of my clients got with his bow this fall.
Passed on a couple bigger bucks and, of course, came home with a smaller one. ? Back up the hill on Tuesday for elk.
