This year will be my third hunt at First Point and I'm looking for successes and failures while hunting there and your ideas on best pastures to hunt. I'm taking my father this year and I would really like to see him get a nice buck. And well if the good lord agrees maybe one for me as well.
What I've learned so far:
-Be very respectful and Mike will tell you where he has been seeing the big deer on the feed routes
-Know what a mature deer is before you go. Don't be the guy that shoots the 1.5 y.o. 8pt. with great potential
-High pressure hunting so really hit you scent eliminators ie washing your camo, spray, soap etc. and get ready to hunt smart deer
-Aim a little low they jump strings bad (My buddy shoots Hoyt X-Tec pushing right at 300 f.ps. and a shooter ducked him at < 30yards) This guys groups are the size of a twist off lid at 40 yards consistant
-Natural brush blinds have worked the best for me so far ( 1 shooting window with 2 set up windows)(bring a good pair of gloves and long sleeve shirt to help cut down on the bleeding)
-They picked up on my pop-up like crazy and yes I spent some serious time brushing it in.
-Tripods didn't work for the people I hunted with but never tried mine.
South TX so nothing to hang your tree stand off of except for light poles
-C'mere deer powder worked well last year mixed with my slow down corn
I had a lot of hogs in #11 pasture and saw three shooters. 1 140+ close to where mike told he'd been seeing a big one
I would greatly appreciated any info from ya'll and hope mine helps as well
