Traveling to other states with public land would probably be easiest. I'm not really sure how hunting leases work but do know that Texas has alot of them. Maybe since you are close to Texas you could find someone that lives farther away that has a lease and keep their feeders full in exchange...
I think it's like most issues there are always some bad people that make the rest look bad. I'm not on the side of the ranchers that over graze leases and chase hunters away and act like they own public land. I am on the side of the ranchers that take care of the land work 365 days a year to...
I don't have any experience in hunting coues deer but have been researching alot about them. I am considering burning a few points on a rifle hunt and if I don't draw will possibly get an archery tag but sounds like archery will deffinately be more challenging.
My 25-06 tc encore is my main hunting rifle I've used it on mule deer, pronghorn, and coyotes. Knowing there is usually only time for one shot helps me focus more on the shot except for a few days ago when I missed a very nice black coyote.
We mostly hunted in blm where they were traveling in and out of irrigated. We hunted a few walk ins that were irrigated also. Access was pretty good but had to go a ways into the blm and walk down to back side of the irrigated.
My broth and i went on our 2nd pronghorn hunt and my goad was to get him a goat since the 1st time he went home empty handed. This was a type 2 tag which we had to hunt within half mile of irrigated which made things kinda frustrating since we could find alot of antelope and weren't able to...
I have been antelope hunting in part of that unit for the past few days and haven't really seen much for mule deer only a few does and a small buck or two. The deer that i have seen have all been down in the fields. There are lots of walk in areas that are crop fields. Good luck
My brother and I got lucky and drew buck tags that were 50% odds. Should be good and hot in the middle of August will have to work quickly while butchering.
I just had an abscessed tooth pulled about a month ago it cost about a 1/10 of a root canal. If it's not in the front of your mouth I would consider this because after a root canal the tooth can have more problems and can become infected again and becomes a huge money pit.
I would recommend getting a gps onxmaps I have had troubles with the phone app. Also I found a fair amount of whitetails along the river bottoms next to ag fields.
I live in South East Minnesota where we have a cwd outbreak and our deer season has been extended to lower deer numbers. The one problem I see with this is that now the deer have been chased around more then ever making them come into contact with more deer and gather into larger groups then...
