Go talk to Sam at the Shell station just past Mar Don.  He is the local with the know how.  Put me on deer when I drew the tag.

hang out at the mor don bar, the locals are helpful. the real locals after the summer rush

[billdo5]

k so basically need to do some door knocking...

[dc]

No, but i scared the hell out of a dandy and saw several that would make your knees weak.  If ya see a wide 28" ish 3x3 with a divot out of its left side let me know

[billdo5]

lol i will let yeah know

[rb2506]

no need to knock on doors, there is lots of public land. the local duck hunters are very helpful on where they saw the 28- 32in buck. hunters want to see hunters be sucessful thats what i got out of it couple years ago. get over there and hit the dunes for some scouting, then hit the watering hole

[billdo5]

will do

I could probably hook you up with a local there with some access depending on if he's around at the time. last year we had some big bucks locked down but couldn't find any hunters to.come lay a sneak on em. oh well. coyote hunting out there is an excellent way to gain access to good spots on private ground as well as learn the country and spot potential shooters cause there are some wide ol monsters out there.

There is TONS of public land... the hard part is trying to hunt them in cattails 8 ft tall!  I've seen lots of bruisers..They like to hang out in public land at the edge of crop fields... Usually the crop fields are leased by hunt clubs... The trick is getting access to the public land and finding a way to get between the deer and the field. I highly recommend some summer/spring camping to get the area scouted out.

That would be cool... I will be heading over soon to check it out
