Regarding rule changes for this year, I applaud them. Well done. They ensure does are removed and allow most hunters to get a chance at a buck.

Originally posted by born-two-hunt View PostYou can build a wooden platform if you like but a simple popup blind is what I use. As far as someone hunting with you, yes it is permitted but they must also get a permit which is free however they are not allowed to hunt. All of these questions are answered in the 2017/18 hunting rules under the hunting tab. Remember you are hunting on a Federal Military Installation so any hunting infractions will be enforced. Do not rely on word of mouth to get info on hunting Camp Bullis, read the rules. Another big change this year is the harvest quota, 4 deer and only 1 can be a buck and you must harvest a doe first. That means after you get your doe you can take a spike or mature buck over 13 inches inside spread but not both. In other words a spike will be your 1 and only buck you can legally take. Read and reread the rules because the penalties can be severe. Tom

I have bow hunted on Camp Bullis for the past 28 years and the last 5 years have been messed up in one way or another using the JBSA drawing system. The biggest improvement this year is doing away with the kiosk computer sign in/out and relocating this process back to Outdoor Rec/Rod & Gun building where the game cooler is located and parking is plentiful. There are real people there also. I have some ladder stands that I use to use out there but according to rules are not legal now. Make sure all your equipment has your name and hunting permit # on them. Tom

Tom, I'm on your side. I think the temporary strap on ladder stands should be legal. I guess somewhere along the way some hunters have ruined it by puncturing the trees. I've seen great big beautiful live oaks with swimming pool ladders grown into them and make shift platforms put in. Looks terrible. I'm guessing the biologists just don't want to take the risk anymore with oak wilt and other diseases so prevalent.

No, we used to have over 200 archery circles available to hunt and about 120 gun areas. That was up until about 5 years ago when Natural Resources Office took control of the hunting program from Outdoor Recreation Center. Actually it is now part of Civil Engineers. I expected it would become all archery hunting on Camp Bullis eventually. Too many people involved in decision making and safety is a top priority. Tom
