      No rut activity yet

      Hunting unit 6 and just like everyone else seen hunters all over the area. So far I ha be seen several does 400 yards away. Two pigs in an open field and no Nelgi so far. I did see a fallow deer (doe) walking across the road. Saw a bobcat also. Great place but it is a hard hunt. Been hunting this place since the 80's and it's a great place. These old bones can't take it, but God willing I will try. Good luck to everyone. Refuge personnel has been great.

        I have known this man for a long time. He is as tough as they come. I hope that I am as strong as he is when I am his age.

                  Man I feel your pain, I am having same kind of luck in Unit 2. Had a whole herd of cows and calves bust me before could get turned around.. I have a couple buddies in 8 that said it looked like orange army over there. I need more help corraling these things, think they are taking a lunch break and heading this way. Feel free to come over too always good to meet some tbhers!

                      At the orientation for the 11/16 hunt they handed out paperwork for those that did not have any...other than their permit.


                      Thanks for the info that helps

                                Well, I had to finish up my hunt a day early but it was a blast! It was definitely one of the toughest hunts I've ever been on. I saw a lot of animals but couldn't ever get quite close enough. I spent most of my time way out in the northwest corner of the property. It's a long way back there but there are a lot of nilgai. If I were to have killed one back there it would have been a long haul out... I learned a lot as this was my first time hunting out there. Will definitely have a better idea of what to plan for in the future. I would say my biggest mistake was packing too heavy. Go Light!
