"Official" Sam Houston National Forest 12-13

[huntinfool]

Well, with my new job I have not been able to scout as much as I would like to this year. However, I have identified several locations where I believe I can kill several deer. I am going to need a mountain bike though. I do not think mine is worth fixing, so if anyone has one they will let go cheap......pm me!

This year looks promising. Post up how your doing. Also do we want to do an opening day lunch again?

Got 3 cams out right now, been out for 2 weeks gonna try to check them one day next week. Would like to find some pigs for target practice, know where some are but only seeing them after dark and haven't figured out where they going during day. Been all over the area during day and surrounding area just never see them butt got pics almost every night at like 2. Be nice if could get out and do some night hunting but oh well

You get me on one of those deer and I will make sure your ex-ladys dad is not a problem

If you can post up some pics, would love to see some great SHNF bucks.

I hope to get my cameras out soon.

I'm really looking forward to being back hunting after many years of just having to listen to stories. After reading last year's thread, I'm also really looking forward to hopefully making some new friends and being able to tap some of the vast knowledge that's available from this group.

This will be my first year to hunt the forest since I was a kid. I'm looking forward to it. I was seeing if could get any tips on places to hunt that isn't over crowded. Any help would be appreciated!

I hear ya. I have been doing the same. But lately people are getting deeper and deeper in the forest. Hike a mile or more in and someone sets up 60 yards away....

May be time to start rolling in to the forest about 8:30, 9 o'clock then set up next to my truck. By the time the guys that are way back in the woods start heading in I'll be set up to shoot the deer they're pushing out. That's an east TX deer drive for ya

Been lucky so far, dont think many people have gone as far in as i am. Atleast it doesnt look like that. Clocked it on the way out when i put cameras out and its 2.2miles and took us right at a hour to walk out....taking the bike next time lol
