Aransas County hunting?

[texaswoods8]

Never hunted down there before. Just wondering how's the bowhunting ? Deer,hogs or whatever else might be there.

If you can find a place to hunt there a lot of animals around. The country club has the most dense population!

Like everywhere it depends where you are at. I hunted there for years and it was a zoo. Lots of large ranches there

Are you talking about private land or the Federal Aransas Wildlife Refuge? These are coastal deer and not the true S Tx strain. That said, there are pockets of high numbers and decent quality up to 130-140 type bucks with a few bigger. Tall tines, lots of points, short beams, and light on mass.

I'm think mostly of private. I know the coastal deer there aren't the big south Texas deer. I'm not concerned with size. Just enjoy bowhunting and we're thinking we'll be moving down there within the year. We've been going down there every year for the last 15 or so. Also thinking about other hunting opportunities like waterfowl and small game too.

I have a friend in lamar that has a 140" 6x6 in his backyard for the 3rd year, ive tried my best to talk him into letting me bring my bow over.

That would be kind of him.

Bring some extra blood with so you can replenish what the clouds of mosquitoes suck out.

I love to bow hunt and tried the refuge once. That was along time ago and nope!!
I never made that mistake again.
I’m just not that desperate to kill a deer.
Unfortunately my home country isn’t much better in October as far as Mosquitoes.
