Fort Hood

[U.S.ArmyRetired]

Wife & kids are leaving for Mexico City for 3 weeks. Maybe I can finally get out and hopefully find a couple of spots that are not taken and get set up. Primos sent me some patches for my pop-up. Does anyone know what kind of glue to use for these patches?

[BenBen]

Same rubber based glue to patch inflatables.

New to Ft Hood

Hello all,
I just arrived in the area and I am brand new to hunting. I was introduced to archery by my CSM last year while in Korea. I have been shooting ever since. The only time we could get eyes on anything on anything in Korea was at the airfield where we worked. I managed to hit a pheasant from about 25yds. But that's about all my experience. I plan on attending the class on 29 Jul and getting my license on 15 Aug. I have two sons who also shoot, 17 and 14, and are interested in hunting as well. Like I said I'm new and any help would be appreciated. Thanks again and glad to be around some folks who enjoy the same thing I do.

Welcome to you and your family. I am not a pro and I am still learning Ft Hood myself but what I can tell you is that bowhunting on Ft Hood is DIY. Find your spot, set-up, hunt. Anytime you are going in the training areas you must call into teletrac and check in. Go to the Sportsmans Center and they will be able to tell you all the information about area access. There are good areas on Ft Hood to hunt but there is a lot of hunting pressure. It is public hunting. Always tag your stand and whatever else you put out. Tag must have your name, phone number, area and date you set it out. There are some good people on this forum that can help you. The 2 that have helped me the most with bowhunting are fthoodhoghunter & birdranger. GOD Bless!

Thanks for the info. From what I am reading on here it seems like you have to know where to go to get some good spots.

Welcome to Fort Hood, my advice for hood is stay off the roads and the beaten path get as deep as you can. Will tell you this lots of stuff goes missing if you dont. Fort Hood has some really good deer on it and hogs, just got to put in the time. Lots of good folks on here.

How far in constitutes deep? 1 or 2 miles, or more?

Get off the main tank trails at least 1/4 mile if now more

With any luck I will be able to meet up in person with someone who knows the area and can show me the ropes.
