[Mr. Public]

You act like your some kind of professional Chap hunter or something. Have you even killed a deer there before, maybe a spike or something??[/QUOTE]

[emoji1787][emoji1787] of course.

Answer the question, Boss. Have you even killed a deer at the Chap?!

Futureagg, those are some nice bucks! I predict one of them getting arrowed! Good luck to y'all.

1 buck brought in today...that i know of. I am set up in a couple tripod, one for morning sun and one for afternoon.

Wind was howling today. Huge doe and other deer came out right at dusk. A big buck amongst them.

Tomorrow should be a good day.

My dad shot a javelina right at dark. No recovery. He said a few more deer were brought in late (5 total for today)

I will be headed there next week. Never hunted south Texas.

Will I be able to find a spot to hide a 12’ (eye level) tripod? Is it better to get in the brush or hunt the senderos?

6-8' max in most areas. There are some bigger mesquites in some of the drainages and near stock tanks you could get a 12' tripod in but it really limits your options. Brush/pit blind or 6' seat height tripod. I've seen lots of guys just use a 6' step ladder with a seat bolted to it or just a cushion to sit on.

Thanks. Wonder how the top third of a ladder stand would work? Guess that would be in the same boat of needing a bigger mesquite to brace it on.

I usually take 3 blind options. popup(wet weather and all day sits), tools to dig a pit blind and a 6' tripod. You could probably get away with a small ladder stand if that's all you had but same thing your limiting the areas you can set up based on the tree.

That's kind of an unwritten rule you don't do without the hunters permission and IMO rude

Thanks for your input...they will post on website after hunt anyway, its a public hunt, but your prob right. just verbal of whats been killed is all I'm really looking for.

Kactuskiller is pretty spot on.
I did use a 12' tripod, and used palm leaves and palmettos that I brought to brush me in a mesquite. Arrowedna 5.5yr old 10pt from it, missed one bigger that winded me at 30yds. I take 2 small tripods now, an XOP hang on, Saddle & Platform, mainly use the platform to stand on minus the saddle and bring an cushion for sitting. If I want to be on the ground I just make it work wherever with the brush available. Versatility and mobility is important to me.

Pre baiting several hot areas can helpful with the combination of cameras.

Definitely cameras over as many scrapes as possible.[emoji106][emoji108] That's the ticket for me.

Thanks! From the pics from you hunt, looks like you were setup away from any sendero?
