I know Its been rough as usual with the drought but I managed to find a few areas that are holding deer & in good numbers, fair amounts of food & lots of space to hunt. A friend & I worked thru bee canyon early season & saw usual numbers of deer with several legal bucks that were just too far to reach under limited time frames. The second half of archery we got out of the heat & hunted an area of higher elevation & cooler temperature atop Santa Rosa mt. I've hunted it in years past but never saw what I'm seeing this year.
Unfortunately, prior obligations are preventing me from hunting much of the general season, if even at all so as my season closes out, I figured I'd help some of you out who don't have time to scout pre season or is struggling like most hunters every year. I hope this will help some of you to be successful this year.
When i originally posted this, I Made the mistake of assuming it was a members only forum.
My reason for posting this & The way i look at it is, if we have a low harvest % reported, DFW might see it as there not being enough deer for the allotted amount of hunters & could potentially lower the # of tags issued in the future. I could be wrong but the way things are going, we can all likely expect more restrictions & limitations if success rate % isn't up or stable.
Good luck & be safe, General season gets pretty chaotic sometimes.
