Lake Waco hunting

[Hendo]

Waco is free to archery hunters during October only. After October only permitted hunters allowed that applied and got drawn.

Thank you! I wasn’t 100 percent sure because mostly talks about drawn hunts on the Corp website.

If weather app stays true, going to be very bumpy boat ride in today and tomorrow....... 21-23 WNW with gust up to 30-33.......might have to rethink my strategy....

Best of luck to all.

Well that wraps my 2021 Lake Waco Archery Public Hunts. I have had allot of luck over the years hunting public with Lake Waco being no exception. But this year, Lake Waco public won!

I will note, I did see more deer this year than ever before while on stand and had 3 opportunities to kill a "legal" buck, but never put my eyes on the one I was chasing. Plus, I did lose a little confidence in my last set when I walked in Sunday afternoon and followed a dried blood trail for the first 100 yards......ha ha Congrats to that hunter.

Best of luck to all the drawn permittee hunters, hope you kill a giant.

Below are a few photos of my last set up and a deer or two.

Are you getting ready to get back after them? I started scouting in August and may or may not have at least two shooters located. Of course, that will likely change come opening day. I do know there is at least one more hunter that has scouted the same area. I know they saw evidence of my scouting and were honest enough thank goodness. I also found one hell of a shed while scouting!

Yes sir, but not near as much as years past. There is so much green browse along all the creek/river banks now its almost like a mid October food plot on all sand bars and mud flats.

With the lake level down 9 or so feet its a challenge getting to a coupe of my spots by boat.

Best of luck to you and all USACE hunters.

Yeah I hear you! It is super tall too! The deer are still in there, but I’m not accessing by boat. I thought about scouting a couple more pieces by boat, but didn’t because of exactly what you are talking about. I’m pretty much one area or bust for public. I still have my normal lease, but going to try this a little too. Mostly during the week.
