About the Hunt

Welcome to TexasBowhunter.com's Bonus Live Hunt for opening weekend of the 2000-2001 season!  Running parallel to Micheal Middleton's Piney Woods adventure, I will be bringing you updates from my family's farm near Pearl, Texas in Coryell County.

The property is approximately 236 acres of rolling pastures with oak motts and cedar covered hillsides.  A super population of whitetail occupy this area of Texas.  Although no real trophy bucks have been taken in recent history, the quality is gradually improving.  The land has been hunted by my family for all of my 31 years and I happen to be the only hunter that has actively pursued deer with a bow. 

The primary objective of the weekend is to at least put a doe in the freezer while searching for a respectable buck.  There are 5 good bowhunting stand sites, two being tripods overlooking very popular feeders.  I plan on spreading my hunting time over at least 3 of the better hunting spots.  With any luck, I'll be able to capture a shot on video!

Join us now as we begin the new season.  After the hunt, be sure to log onto the Discussion forum to tell us what you think, offer suggestions on hunting strategy, or ask the hunter a question.  You can join the conversation directly by clicking on the "Discussion" graphic to the left!
