East Texas deer vs South Texas deer

[Arrowthreat]

It's all about pressure. The mature bucks at our ranch in Llano were just as smart as the deer I grew up hunting in east texas. The bucks at our place in Llano were dodging .243 and 30-30 rounds since they grew nubs.

East texas deer are pressured because of all the spotlighting poachers and redneck hillbillies chasing them around. Also, East Texas bucks don't hit feeders like other parts of the state. Plus, the numbers aren't near as high as compared to South Texas or the central Texas.

Never hunted a STx whitetail, but it seems the SETx whitetail is a tad more spooky, very hard to hunt. Most are feeder wary, which isn't the case for their STx cousins.

Y'all ain't figured it out yet. It has NOTHING to do with pressure!































East Texas deer are just a lot smarter than South Texas deer...just like the people!

Exactly. There’s no deer in East Tx anyways, just poachers and meth heads

I was telling my dentist the other day, if I had to go back to hunting east Texas, I would give it up and fish full time.

They're dang sure easier to find than a deer!!!

I agree with the above! If I had to hunt around here I would just fish! I grew up in NW La looking down a fire break in pine trees and remember seasons I hunted every weekend nearly and didn't see a deer much less shoot one! Didn't take me long to become a duck hunter!

A man really has to love bowhunting to bowhunt in SETx. Especially in Newton County

Any deer is easy when shoot on a lease under a feeder.

you not correct.

If you can kill deer in East Texas, you can kill deer anywhere.

If you can kill deer in South Texas, you can grocery shop anywhere.

I laugh at the "it's easy to kill deer if they come to a feeder" guys.

The deer in my avatar was hunted hard for a year and a month. Never saw him except on cams year before last. I spent 10 days in the woods mid October last year and never saw him but he was on cams at night. I finally got him the evening before the gun opener.

Sign me up for deer shooting sir! I'd rather catch crappie all day too than chunk and wind beating the water to a froth for a couple ditch pickles as well!
