Thanks guys!
Nothing came in today to the check station, a West or SW wind at Aransas just doesn't work for bowhunting. Less than 100 archery permits were sold this year, a new low, and the daily average number of hunters was less than 50. Still we took 30 animals this year, so, for an over the counter public hunt that's still a pretty darn good success rate. And the mosquitoes were manageable this year, I only used a Thermacell, no insect spray at all.
The state biologist was at the check station today taking sample to test for CWD. It was voluntary, I let him take samples from my deer and he aged him as a 3.5yr old. It's going to be interesting in what they find, one of the land owners right next to the refuge bought deer from an out of state breeder and shipped them in, low fence.

The Refige has also added a 4th rifle hunt. The two days, sun-mon, right after the 3rd rifle hunt with the same $135 permit fee ????.Last edited by Thumper; 10-29-2015, 08:31 AM.
