Applying for TWPD hunts LOL

[no1hogkiller]

Last year my friend Mike W, son Adam and myself were selected for Archery Deer at Muse WMA located between Childress and Paducah.
We stayed at the Sportsman Inn, something like that. A nice, clean little place was once a mortuary. No problems. No ghost.
North Texas was so dry. I mean DRY. The prickly pear cactus had died and it was everywhere you stepped and the mesquite trees had died too. It was that dry. It's a hunt. Never know what's out there. And the drive was 9 hours. WE had high hopes of whacking and stacking deer.
We didn't see squat. I'm not complaining here. Just telling a story.
We left a day early because of the conditions.
Poor little town of Paducah has seen better times. Everyone still left was related or closely related making a living and working hard.
We made jokes amongst ourselves vowing to never return. ( I'll go back by myself one of these years). Not complaining.
This year's draw hunts.
Wait for it.

I stayed at that place the first time I hunted Matador. The second time I camped at Matador and was more comfortable. Nothing to do with haunting either.

It was Hunter's Lodge.

We stayed there when we scouted for the whitetail hunt, we've decided to camp while we hunt

I have stayed there, and thought it was pretty good. I have a lease south of town, and now have campers and haven't stayed there is 4 or 5 years though. Check out the burgers at the little drive-in west side of town. Yep that town has definitely seen it's better times. Besides farming I really don't know how anyone makes a living out there. BTW it is called Matador WMA. With all that being said, I got drawn for the whitetail rifle this year, and can't wait.
