Uncle Swamp asked me to make this post so I would leave him alone lol

… what’s yalls favorite government woods deer hunting techniques?

.. I like to wait till October… ease into to likely looking spots and find scrapes close to bedding thicket

Climb a tree downwind and kill what comes in

.. I won’t climb unless the sign is smoking hot … old sign can be a waste of time

… I like acorn trees amongst pine thicket with fresh feed sign as well

… you always have competition

… like this yahoo that goes around blowing up spots putting cameras everywhere and never killing anything lol

I grab a lever gun, get on the downwind side of a big chunk of thick brush, and sneak through it. Try to go on weekdays so I don't have to contend with the urbanites that harass us on the weekends.

Like to study the land, where people park & enter, and find the escape routes....Get there early and hang a stand overlooking a draw that funnels deer going out the back door.

Killed several nice bucks like that letting the other hunters push them.

Are there very many bears left in Texas ? Read a couple of really good books about hunting bear in the post-Civil War era. East Texas was mentioned frequently.

… there was one down the road last year knocking deer farmer buddy of mines feeders over and posing for the cameras … a male … they’re few and far between… definitely not a breeding population anymore

… they say any we see are males roaming from Louisiana

Well Dave, he was running straight away and I was hungry. I had to time the shot just right to take off his manhood and cleanly field dress him at once. But I'll work on it and report back.

I like when my uncle POS puts up a sign.

First name POS last name TED.

We call it the $75 hunt club. Only pay when you get caught.



Really though, I like to find the thickest swampiest spot there is. If I was hunting government land.


I hunt a mess of private I have permission on and pay zero lease fees for. Land owner wants them gone, so that’s what I do.

Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

… because acorns aren’t leaves… they’re a nut that deer eat … although the trees drop leaves as well … the falling of acorns sets them apart
