Texas Wildlife Management Area Drawings
I'm a pretty lucky dude this year as I was drawn for both a whitetail and then a mule deer hunt on the two premium properties for such hunting within the State!.
The whitetail hunt will be the first week of January on the Chaparral WMA near Artesian Wells in LaSalle & Dimmit Counties. I'm leaning towards my Rio Grande chambered in 38-55 Win for this hunt.
The desert mule deer hunt is on the first week of December on the Elephant Mountain WMA south of Alpine in Brewster County. Thinking about hunting with my R92 chambered in 45 Colt on this hunt. The lightweight rifle coupled with the saddle ring sling carry would be perfect for the desert mountain hunting. I'm very comfortable shooting big game out to 200 yards with this rifle.

At my age, there IS nothing better than shooting.

Re: Texas Wildlife Management Area Drawings
Greetings
Sounds like a good hunting season brewing.
Any one of those listed calibers will serve well.
With Texas drawing your name does that mean you get placed at the bottom and have to wait to get moved up slowly ?

Re: Texas Wildlife Management Area Drawings
Yeah, means I start over so I doubt I will get these two hunts again. I do better on the National Wildlife Refuges but have now gone two years without being drawn for my nilgai hunt which is a bummer. Texas public hunting system is awful. I never recommend moving here to anyone that is a hunter. Much better places to be. If you cannot afford a lease, you are not going to hunt. The trouble with leases are they have become extremely hard to find as the population continues to rise and the habitat disappears.Missionary wrote:Greetings

Re: Texas Wildlife Management Area Drawings
Deer season just opened today for eastern NC. 6 bag limit for season, can be harvested in one day if so inclined. Of the six no more than four can have antlers. All six can be antler-less. Man would I love to report my first deer here as it didn't happen last year, so we will see.
