Has anyone been to Caddo National Grasslands this year? I am going this thursday afternoon till I get a deer. I got 7 days. I got a win 30/30 from the ground. I am 23 so I can walk all over, I want to go real deep so I can maybe get to the deer that have been push around by the other hunters. Any tips, this will be my first whitetail hunt, but i know the basics. Any info would be great. I got all my license and stuff already and a hotel in paris texas...

Josh,

I've been hunting Caddo NGL for about 25 years now.  The best thing you can do is look at the map that's in the Annual Public Hunting Permit.  Get away from the main roads that everyone hunts off of  2029, 409, 100.  Try going off of 2318, 2325, 2716, 2295.  Those areas are hunted but the pressure is far less. The deer are there and so are the hogs. My son had 6 nice size ones walk up behind him yesterday in single file and at a slow trot. Couldn't get a clean shot at them though. Get away from major traffic and you should do fine.

I have a climbing stand and will sit from about 5am - 11am then if the leaves are quiet I will do a slow walk/stop/watch till about 2pm then go back up the tree till dark. Good luck up there, hope my info on suggested areas helps you.

The deer are definitely there but you have to work hard to get them....scouting, lots of scouting then patience is the game. Remember, you can shoot a spike or any other buck has to have at least 1 unbranched antler or a bigger buck that has an inside spread of at least 13"

Overlooked your other question, there will be some people there the 2nd weekend but don't think the numbers will be as they were on opening weekend. The numbers should pick up from the 26-29 when it's back to either sex again. After that fewer hunters will be around, the deer will start to relax a little bit and give you more chances to see and/or harvest a buck.

Josh, let me know how you made out at Caddo. Maybe sometime we'll be able to hook-up up there and I can show you a couple of other good areas during the middle of the day. May be going up there on the 27th just for the day, will let you know.
