not really. Opening weekend will be busiest but its a big area and there are plenty of places to hunt. Get a good map. Most people hunt the Mcbride ans Alibates area, but don't overlook the other side of the lake.

Hey Hunter, I was going to recommend Chimney Hollow to these guys also. I haven't been there in a couple of years but it has been real good to me. I say we kill early and go walleye fishing.

Had to work until 4pm, but went out to Mullinaw crossing area for the evening hunt. Got up high to glass and there was nothing but vehicles moving out there. Last year I saw some deer in that area, but not this year.Comment

Was out there sunday as well, saw three mule deer but no antlers........did see two whitetails- one doe and one buck just off the Lake property. Saw some guys in an old toyota doing some speed glassing........and then a newer model white van pulled up and a woman got out, probably early twenties and she squatted right in the road to pee.
Someone should tell her that hunters carry bino's out there.......
Headed back out this weekend, will stay in my fifth wheel out there on the north side, haven't decided where yet.
Anybody else "see" anything out there?

Will probably camp at Plum Creek this weekend. Maybe check out Devils Canyon and that area.Comment

Well, did not see one deer on the Lake property this weekend. Hunted at Plum Creek and over at Chimney Hollow. This morning hiked a little over 1.5 mile towards Devils Canyon, did not see any fresh sign except for coyotes, which seemed to be everywhere.Originally posted by a3dhunter View Post
We did see one doe at night near the campground area at the trailhead for Devil's Canyon....looking like we need some colder weather to get the deer down into the canyons.
Good luck to anyone headed out there, I am finding a lot less deer out there compared to the same time last year. Yesterday it was showing 88 degrees in camp.....way to hot!

Have you been up north of the damm in the bow only zone? They cleared mesquite there last year so might have more food scores there this season! How about Bugbee, north canyon,north Turkey creek?Comment

I have not been to those areas. It seems the further you go that way the more populated it is. If I lived there that would be fine, but I just don't feel right hunting where people are walking their dogs.....LOL.Originally posted by Archer156 View Post
I have stayed away from those areas, there may be some good hunting up there but I haven't even been up there since last year when I drove around the Lake.
It seemed like Bugbee didn't hold deer and wasn't very big.....did try some quail hunting there last year and it was a bust.Comment
