Non-resident hunting for 1 buck (whitetail or mule deer) and 1 whitetail doe cost me about $250 this last season.  

I've got tracks 19 & 25 in Paint Mare.

Bill,
 I'm offshore, in the Gulf of Mexico, working and don't want to be posting my work number on a forum. Here is my e-mail address, jimcstreet@aol.com. Drop me a note w/ a contact number. I don't know if you've looked at Myers Canyon but it looks like some better tracks left on that ranch. You have to drive through MC to get back to Paint Mare. Drop me a line with a contact number.

Doug,
 I saw the picture you posted of the 3 legged deer, what’s up with that? I've seen a lot but that was a first.
I hunted about 4 days at the first of November and saw 1 nice 10 point that never presented a good shot, I was bow hunting that morning. I wound up taking a doe with my bow that trip.
I made my second and final hunt the second week of December. I hunted 5 days that time and only saw a few young bucks, hopefully they made it through the season. The second hunt was very frustration for me as I had a bad chest cold and couldn’t set on a stand without coughing every 15 or 20 minutes. I didn’t shoot anything on this trip. 
Most of the shooting you here is coming from down in the canyon south of me, some on Paint Mare but not all.
And yes I did meet the young Wardens in December. They drove right up to my camp on a Saturday after noon. It was only there second year out there and they seem okay. That was the first time I’ve been visited by a GW out there. I know there just trying to do there job the best they can and I respect that but really don’t like the idea of them diving up on my place like it was a public hunting area. People like us that have made large investment and put much effort into having a place of our own aren’t likely to be killing every think that walks on their property. On the same note their presents is good in detouring poachers and regulating the leased land in the area.
My e-mail address is in the note to Bill at top. Drop me a line sometime, maybe one of these days we’ll meet up out there.

What part of East Tx are you looking at hunting in? I live and hunt at my house between Canton & Mabank. I shot 2 doe during bow season and my father-in-law shot a spike Thanksgiving wekend. The only buck I saw that was 13 in. was across the road from my place. I saw several small bucks when hunting and on the trail cam. 

I just called the local warden.that is a youth season,they can take any legal deer.everyone else can hunt that period but doe or spike only.

I hunted there maybe 20 years ago and it is a great place to hunt.  It is rugged, fair chase but there were a fair amount of deer there also.  We hunted Area #2 and #1 but only got a shot at one doe the two days we were there.  If you can spend some time there I am sure you could get a better feel for the place.  They have a web site in Del Rio with a lot of info on their web site.  Just look up Del Rio Bowhunters or try Amistad Bowhunters, etc.  I remember a lot of good information they are willing to share.  Seems like a great bunch of guys down there. 

I and my Brother in law have shot the accubonds 140 gr in a .270 for the last 5 years or so.  I have been very happy with them, and have not had to track any animals very far...except a doe my sister gut shot this year.  Yes, if you hit bone you will end up with a lot of hamburger, but I'd rather have hamburger on the ground than a wounded deer running.

My Dad had an issue with the ballistic tip years ago.  Shot a doe, watched her fall, took a leak, then she was gone.  Never found blood, nor dead deer.
