Hunting Below the Dam. References are based on the photo on page 1. Depending on wind direction.
Park at the paved parking area right below where it says 'Pecan Grove'. Good paths parallel the outfall stream on both sides. You will see a game trail crossing the stream where the pigs have been moving between CP II and III. I have not had luck hunting around II/III but have spoken to fishermen who have seen hogs making the crossing. Lots of thick cover and hog sign 100 to 200 yards both north and east of CP V. You will see more hog trails crossing the stream right at CP V.
The old road that runs from CP VI to VII is very clear and open. Tons of hog sign and rooting at CP VII, you can even smell the feces most days.
Really thick stuff (and as such, bedding areas) are SW of CP XI.
Another good way to hunt below the dam: Park at the dam overlook. It is not visible on the photo, it is just off the SW corner. From there, go up on the dam itself and glass NE down over the spillway, you will have a tremendous field of view. From there you can also walk to CP IX. The area just across the old river bed from CP IX is also thick with hog sign.
Good luck, and stick one!
