23-24 East Texas Hunting Thread

[Greenheadless]

East tx folks are getting a little spooky about telling what they are hunting. I will say this... I have 11 mature targets that will go from 145 to 165. Best year on camera I have ever had. Maybe we can get a couple killed. Need a wind without east on it bad.

Those heavy fawn crops from 6-7 years ago are paying off for those who have waited.

You and me both. I think the second weekend might end up being the ideal conditions for my main spot. I'm gona fight through this torn rotator cuff in my shoulder and sweat up in a tree this weekend too though.

Thanks to Garguy and his methodsd I have a very cool set up with some nice deer. It took 2 years to just not put any pressure but i believe it is time this year. My acorns are 1/3 of the size as normal and deer are still hitting the heandcorn. Also Pineywoods and the sweetfeed has been crazy. Thanks for that tip.

never had a pig on camera last season, 7 cameras up for about 5 months. Put a cell cam on a travel route at the lease saturday and already have pics of pigs two nights in a row, so I guess they're back. Hoping that means the deer are back as well. We got a late start this year getting the lease together. This particular lease is basically gun hunting only anyway, so not a big deal. Will get a chance to go do some bowhunting at another place.

Do you feed the textured or pellet sweet feed?

Yep me too. Sometimes I'll use my local feed store's equivalent. They absolutely hammer it.

Had mature bucks coming to my pen consistently for the past three weeks. Not so much the last two days. I think this moon is going to ruin my plans for this weekend

If they were smart they would quit telling about what they are hunting and no pics. Good luck this season and hopefully your Dad can connect with another one.
