Last in my area for bucks until 01-07-2007 and for does and spikes is until the 21st. That is so cool. I just realized that!!!
I know LazerRay. I hunt Mason county and still to take one with my bow, going to try this weekend again and again during the spike and doe season. Don't just love Texas season.
I love it you are near Dallas isn't there season until that 3rd
Yeah Live in Dallas and hunt in Mason county. Sason runs to Jan 7th. Then spike and doe from Jan 13th to Jan 21st. Happy hunting and may God Bless you as He has me.
Nakohe, just wanted to say hi to a fellow east texan. I live in canton...about an hour east of ya.
Kyle
Hey Kyle I know Canton, wifes family comes from around there. Maybe we can shoot together sometime. I am always up for keeping the shoulders tuned up. 'specally since I am getting so much along in years. I'll hunt till I die. What a way to go.
Hello Kyle and Nakohe I live in Point close to Emory. I'd like to get together with u all if u decided to. I just got into trad. archery a few weeks ago. I am itching to hunt badly. I won't be able to deer hunt until next season, but I should be ready by then. I'd love to try hunting for other things in the meantime.
A little east texas get together would be fantastic in my books!
jmar, up around emory is some mighty fine huntin my friend. Thats where I missed my first hog with a recurve. U find a place around there to lease for a decent price, let me know.
kyle
BTW nakohe, if you can have guest on your lease, give me a holler if you ever need someone to foot the gas bill for the trip :D
jmar, I'm with Kyle on that. Hog's with a bow is a trip. I would be interested in a lease around there if it is reasoablely priced.
Will do Kyle. If you are up for some spring turkey or hogs, maybe we can get together for that. I could also maybe take you next year as a guest for deer. We will see.
How much is a lease usually? I'd like to get together even to just shoot, get some advise and such. If u all would be interested, been shooting by myself, I'd love to get together with someone.
lease prices are extremely variable. Acreage is prolly the biggest factor. Its nice to have about 100 acres per hunter, but with bowhunting, and plenty of cover, you can get away with much less acreage. However more acreage is always a bonus, especially for spot and stalk. Im paying 600 to hunt a 4 deer county just south of lufkin. I took a doe there in bow season and could have filled my tags with a rifle, but im not real happy with it. I wont be back on it next year. I just hate hunting east texas pines.
Id like to get a place for about 500 a person. I may be dreaming. lol. Im just not willing to pay alot for a one buck county, i suppose. But of course id be willing to pay considerably more if there was some great hog hunting.
Kyle
I know what you mean Kyle. I pay $560.00 for a two buck county, but it is small acerage. 350 acres and 5 hunters. My brother and I are the only bow hunters so October it is all ours, except we are limited to our areas of about 65 acers or less each. We do have quite a bit of cover so that helps. We both usually take a deer apiece with our bows before gun season starts and even hunt some during gun season with our bows. There have been a lot of hogs on the back side of the lease and the other guys do not mind us hunting there in the off season for hogs. The one draw back is the drive to the lease. 4 1/2 hrs. I would love to find a place a lot closer even if I had to go to a one buck county. But, I too would like it to have hogs. I will keep my eyes and ears open.
Donald
yeah im tired of burning up half a day in driving. Just wears ya out and your not willing to go as often. We are only driving 3 hours now, but id love to have something under 2 hours. I grew up hunting brady, tx. That was about a 5 hour drive for us. Fabulous hunting however. My boss has a lease in childress, which is a 6 hour drive. YIKES. Ive gone with him twice this year and that is a long haul.
Kyle
Hey Kyle,
It sounds like jmar relly needs some help. Maybe we should try and all three of us get together some where in the next week or two and shoot some where. I am willing to travel out your way for a get together. Let me know.
I would love to get together Nakohe. What does that mean anyway? I live in Point between Lake Tawakoni and Lake Fork close to Emory. I would be willing to travel to get together. Let me know if u all would be interested, it would be nice to meet others with the same enthusiasm for bows. Also, if we went stump hunting would u need a hunting license to go out in the woods, I don't have one yet.
