good story

Well said!

I also utilize public land specifically for Dove hunting, but have had the opportunity to check out some great deer and hog public lands.  I feel that TPWD should invest more money and research into public land programs and make more property available and suitable for hunting.  For example, planting food plots, maintaing senderos, disking fields, cutting grass, etc!!!

hey hogdog  i have been hunting on one public land place in east tx, i am still new to this and i can only bow hunt there for deer,, what would u recommend tree stand ,or blind and how far is to far to walk into the place????? i have been like aleast a mile in out of 4 miles, ... really looking for next season to get a deer

I am ready to!!!! Turkey season starts soon!! You dont allways have to go far it all depends on the pressure. I would suggest that you get a deer dolly! I use a climbing stand or hunt off the ground. I do suggest that you hunt as close to bedding areas as you can get and get in the woods early! Once those deer get pressured they are going to the bedding areas. I dont hunt scrapes much. Trail to bedding areas! What part of e-tx do you hunt? I hunt Sabine NF and other small tracks that most dont know about.

I am looking for public land in the south texas area, preferably to run my hog dogs. I am guide (Quail, Dove, Turkey) by trade and a kennel owner. I have several smaller ranches that I can hunt hog on, but during deer and other seasons it gets a little harder, I mainly want to keep the dogs in shape and get my pups on a few hogs. Does anyone know of land in this area that allows hog dogs? Thanks

If there is a season going on dogs are prohibited on public land. You can check with your local Game Warden or the forest service to get the regulations. Im not familiar with south texas public land. But that a starting point.
