Dawg Posted August 25 Report Share Posted August 25 (edited) Figured I'd give the forums a little life. Those of you who still slip by, ride along with me as I hunt public land around East Texas for the 2025-2026 season. I'll post updates as often as I can. I now primarily hunt in the Moore Plantation WMA in south Sabine County, Texas with a couple of hunts in the north part of Sabine National Forest up around Huxley, TX and down on the Neches-Angelina WMA. I also have applied to several draw hunts around the state, from the panhandle to far west Texas down to the coast and south Texas. Odds are low that I'll draw any of them but there's always hope! Last year on the Moore was good as far as deer sightings go. I janked shots on 2 different bucks and ended the season with tag soup. I'm hoping those bucks made it through the year and I get another shot at one of them at least. They should be a couple of dandies this year. 2019 saw the last of my private land Colorado mule deer hunts. Some of you followed along on several of my live hunts over the years on those. The landowner we leased from got on up in age and moved to Utah to be closer to his daughter. Most of the land was divided up and sold with what was left handed over to an outfitter who in turn jacked the prices up to stupid levels. Those were good times but they are just memories now. We typically had 10-12 guys go up every year and hunt. 5 of those guys have passed on. 4 of which happened in the last few years. One of these days I'll make it back up to Colorado to hunt public land. But here's to a successful and safe '25-'26 season for all of us!

Dawg Posted Friday at 03:56 AM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 03:56 AM I was drawn for an archery hunt at Laguna Atascosa NWR. Hunt will take place in mid-December. This will be a first for me in a couple of different ways. 1. I've been out of the archery game for about 10 years so I've got some brushing up to do on my shooting. 2. This gives me a chance to take my first south Texas whitetail with a bow and at the same time gives me tye chance to take a nilgai. 3. I'll get to see a part of this great state that I've never seen before. It's a little intimidating but I'm excited for it. Totally different terrain than what I'm used to hunting.
