Laguna Atascosa 2021

[Whalerboy67]

As per George Garcia, We may only beach on south side. Accessible by water only. Will be a tough hunt and lots of work to retrieve an animal

I’ll be camping at Adolph thomae and will be bringing my kayak if anyone wants to work as a team. I shot a cow here before but haven’t been to unit 4, so it will be a new area for me. I assume we can paddle from the park to unit 4 and still be legal?

Correct. If we harvest something in unit 4 and want to take the hide, you must call TAHD and they will come to the park to pick up the hide. Since it would be against the rules/laws to travel outside the refuge without the hide being sprayed.

Unit 4 is a game changer and only makes the hunt even tougher! I love it!

Wow. Unit 4 is very similar to much of the Bahia Grande unit. VERY little cover except in the slightly taller stuff on McGilvery Island. Keep low until they get close enough to shoot, or all you'll see is their behinds running away at high speed and great distance. And especially watch out for snakes. GO GET 'EM! Looking forward to some reports this weekend.

Boat or kayak is the only way to access Unit 4 and is allowed that unit only. You must beach boat/kayak and not hunt from it.

FYI, the barge traffic in the arroyo is pretty heavy. I am sure kayakers will pull their kayaks completely out of the water. If you take a boat, don't just put your power pole down. Take an anchor out, secure it to the front of the boat, and get it in the dirt. When a barge comes down, it will suck the water out around both shorelines. If your boat isn't secure, it's going to get sucked out with it. Would make for a bad ending to a hunt.

I’ve seen that happen many times lol

So what makes unit 4 so attractive? Lack of roads? There's hardly any cover out there from what I can see on maps.

I hear there are bare chested women over there.

Better not let my wife hear that!

There’s nothing worthwhile in unit 4. Just rattlesnakes and alligators. Stay away from it.

Oh come on, you just want it all to yourself

The lack of cover is what the nilgai love most about it -- they see you long before you see them.

Looks like we got about 4.5” of rain out there last night…

Dang... that's a lot of water. Anyone ever just wear waders down there?
