If you need help filling up the corn feeders in West Texas, don't be afraid to ask...
I have a feeling your bucks may be a touch bigger than the upstate SC bucks...
As far as deer numbers however, we are doing just fine.
Our deer numbers are great. Actually too good in some areas. We are land managed so get to take more deer than license allows......actually rarely even use our license tags.
Antlers are pretty good in the area where I hunt. But the body will be much smaller than what you have back east. Not nearly as much to eat.
Turkey hunting is fantastic.......both fall and spring. I can see 40 or more Turkey on any given day in the fall.
Hogs are typically everywhere. Can't get rid of them. We'll usually hunt them at night.......or the kids will while we fix supper.
Target rich environment...
I backpack hunted the Cohutta with a friend and our bows last year. Just a practice run for a now cancelled elk hunt this Fall. Two bucks with over 24” spreads were killed out of the station near Cisco on that weekend. There are some surprisingly big deer up there, but I hear you need to stay on the creeks. Bear sign was EVERYWHERE. Woods were too tough to travel from the fire. Dead falls everywhere and the dead laurel was like walking on aluminum foil. Impossible to move. Those two big ones had to be scouted all season, and possibly baited, even though that’s not legal on the wma.
Correct. Those two bucks killed last year on Cohutta were a very odd occurrence.
