    Lol well I had actually put in for 19 hunts total just had 10 drawing today. But I’m done for this year. I usually only apply for around 5-6.

      Hunted SHNF last year, that drive from Austin sucks.

      My son, 10yr, and I both drew:
      Granger
      SHNF Antlerless tags

      My son drew:
      Abilene SP
      Chap
      I got drawn for archer. At Abilene SP
      In 2012 or 2013. It was a blast. Deer everywhere. Took 2 deer which was allowed but could have easily gotten 2 more. Was there with a few other TBH folks and we had a 3 day live hunt going on here.

        Bring bikes if you can. Get back in there at least a couple miles if doable. Theres a road that runs around the perimeter and a couple that go into the middle. Big salt lake in the middle of the property. Treat yalls clothes for ticks and thermacell for mosquitoes. Snake boots aren't a bad idea. Didnt see any as it was cold when we were there but protected us from cactus that's hard to see under the grass. Pretty dense area.

          There was only one permit for the youth category for Yoakum dunes so I put him and my daughter in separately. He drew so I'm sure my daughter (his sister) will be happy for him but disappointed also.


          Anyone know much about Yoakum Dunes and what we should expect? Good or bad about the hunt any advice is appreciated.
          You can look at some of my previous threads. In fairness, when I did it, I was the first one out there after it became a WMA. I think they were still working out the kinks. I didn't take a buck but I was holding out for a big one. I was given the opportunity at some management bucks.

          I'm glad they have a youth hunt out there now. That will be a great hunt for a kid. He should see a LOT of deer. I wish they did antelope hunts out there since they have a pretty good population.

          The fellow after me didn't shoot one either but it looks like whoever did it last year did take one. I'm not sure if Brandon is still the biologist/guide out there but he is a great guy.

          It is a great hunt, and congratulations to your son for drawing it. He should have fun. Just tell him to watch out for wasps in the bunkhouse and rattlebugs on the porch of the bunkhouse.

            I'm sorry it was 4hunts and 800days scouting last year.
            You were the dude that said no deer were taken at Nannie Stringfellow last year?

                  I drew Aransas 2nd rifle hunt. Anyone have some advice for me? Never been out there. Glad to have the chance to hunt, but I wish I had drawn some archery hunts.

                        Just giving you a hard time. Been waiting for a reason to use that one. I only applied for one in each category for those drawn today because my available days this year are limited.

                          I drew GDE on the Kerr! It only took 10 years, but I would have waited more. Guess it will take another 10 years to get drawn again. Also drew archery hunt, but that only took 8!

                                Not sure how I missed that last season but that's incredible. Congrats on an amazing season


                                I drew Laguna Atascosa for the 1/4-1/6 rifle hunt. Never been there but I'm excited for the challenge.
