hunting in texas
« on: January 29, 2011, 11:27:51 AM »
has anyone ever hunted whitetail in northern texas? I was invited by a friend of the family's to go down and hunt some private land outside of lubbock. Just wondering if anyone else has been down there and what they thought about it. There's definitely some good bucks down there. Anyone have any advice? Is it worth driving down there for? Thanks

The deer are the size of poodles.

I have hunted Texas many times.  I really enjoy it there.  Most my hunting has been in the hill country or south texas.  I actually put in for their state draw hunts every year.  Have been drawn a few times and did ok hunting.  If you have private land to hunt I would suggest going. 

Good luck if you go, would like to hear a report on your trip.

I think it'd be a fun trip. Gas is the biggest cost. The out of state license down there isn't that much. So if I'm able to get the ,oney saved up then I think I'm gonna go.

I bet he has some pics of that hog on the ground  ;) if he doesn't then I want to see the ones he's shooting  :drool:

I say go! You can't go wrong with hunting out of state  :twocents:

I go to south Texas every year and hunt on a friends ranch. It is an incredible hunt. Lots of nice bucks. Take some rattling antlers and you will have a great time.
