Sky, what is the proportion of public land vs: private land or better yet is there any public available to hunt?

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |

Ed's correct. Most of the state is comprised of private land owner's. There are few WMA's where the public has walk in access to hunt. On February 20th, I will be going way down south to the Chaparral WMA with a friend to hunt Javelina. http://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/hunt/wma/find_a_wma/list/?id=45 That will be a first for me. I have heard that they stink, but they are a good hunt. I'll be certain to post some pictures and share my experience. |

Years ago they did some drawings to hunt some of the public land WMA's and a friend and I got drawn. I believe we only had about 24 hrs one evening through about noon the next day not much time. I knocked down a doe on the first day for meat and he came home empty handed. We had no way to get up high enough to see over the mesquite and there were no trails cut and not enough time to learn the area, but I found a pond and set up on it.

It can be tough hunting here. Texas has very diverse vegetation, making hunting cumbersome on some trips out in the woods. The Axis I hunted was camouflaged so well in the cedars I looked right past him. Had it not been for Jason pulling my rifle back to the left, I would have never picked up on him and he would have silently evaded me. |
