Really I think hunting granger is about bootleather. You got to cover a lot of ground. There are so many people that hunt it the hogs get pushed from place to place. Only luck I had at patterning them is during the summer when there was NO water. The place is covered with hogs, move slow, pay attention and cover a lot of ground and go often, or just get lucky. My prefrences are San Gabriel, Pecan Groove. More than any I usally hunt the san gabriel cause I know the area well. I have certain spots that I like to check to see if they been active or not. Next trip out i hit up the spots I seen sign or busted some up out of the woods. This I know, there are hogs ALL over granger WMA. Just got to be in the right place at the right time, and a little bit of knowledge of the lay of the land can help your odds. Just got to get out there and come up with a strategy. If it dont work change it. Thats what keeps it intresting. Good luck!

Went out today... Started at unit 5 headed south/ southeast then ran the water & reeds back to 7, almost 6 . No luck. I did see 2 does with a nice buck and pushed a huge owl out of the thick. Oh and 2 hunters posted right at 6. They kept waving thier orange at us but we had stopped way back.
Just wondering your guys' opinion.... If you see hunters posted up but you are pushing an area do you continue or Stop and head another direction? And do you talk to them or keep your distance?
Side note:
Cant WAIT for GRXH! looking forward to some more fresh fried catfish, alittle turtle and a big *** bond fire! Lets do this.

I dont mind being approached. If someone was waving their orange at me or some other signal I would find another area. Some people I am sure would be really upset. But the bottom line is it is public land. You dont have more right than I or the next guy. I think common sense and courtisy is in play. If they are signaling you that means, to me anyway. "I am here hunting please go to another spot".

Looks like I may be able to if I bring my 4 year old son, which means I'd have to bring food FOR HIM ONLY. Would y'all welcome us in yer camp under those conditions? It'll be really cool to get my youngin in on this.

It was a fun last hunt at Granger unit C this week and it may have turned out to be the last draw hunt for a long time.
Like many of you guys, I've hunted and fished out there for over 20 years. I know the place like my own backyard.
I've really enjoyed the draw hunts and enjoyed countin deer with Johnny, hauling the scrap barrel out or anything else he thought he could get me to do.
Because of the budget cuts, it's very possible that the draw hunts are gone for next year and the corp will take The WMA back.
This was the scuttlebutt this week.
