Thanks guys. I guess I should be a little more specific in saying that we mostly planned to hunt the public stuff for small game and upland birds only. We have what we think is a pretty decent piece of private ground to hunt deer on,we've caught a pretty decent 8 point on camera there along with a number of does so that's our first option for deer. This is a shotgun only area as well so being close up for deer is a requirement and blaze orange is required by the state during firearms season. No sound shots here,that's a new one on me although I suppose people do it. Living in east Texas does not make me Texan,born and raised in the midwest. My Grandpa would come out of his grave if I took "sound shots" and kill me himself!
haha I did not know where you lived when I typed that I was making fun of east Texans
asking them about hunting goes something like this......went hunting this morning....oh did you see anything.....nope but I took a couple of sound shots
of course out behind the pine curtain sound shots are OK because they are on "their land"......but at the same time of course east Texas has some of the worst poaching and trespassing in the history of ever so taking a sound shot even on "your land" is still pretty dangerous
not ALL east Texans are like that of course, but poaching as a way of life, sound shots, if it is brown it is down.......those things are mantras for many in that area |
Any advice on hunting public land?
