2012 Lake Grapevine Thread

[TxAgHntr]

Hey guys, I didn't get drawn this year and wanted to throw this out there to ya'll. I have a Summit Viper Classic climbing stand for sale in the classifieds section. I used for last season at the vine and thats all. Just FYI. thanks

Thanks guys, I'm new in the area so please forgive me for asking:

Budman, where is the grassy area by 377 and the trailer park?

Bulletpusher, I'm not familiar with unit 21 and 22, can you give me any more information?

Also, last time I hunted rabbits was in canada. Is it better to hunt them in the morning, afternoon, evening? and since they are non game animals, can they be hunted at night? lights?

Look up LBJ National Grasslands. Located north of Decatur TX. Office is off Hwy 287 @Hwy 380 in Decatur. Buy a map there for $10. FYI- Most public lands don't allow hunting at night. even though they are non-game animals.

Are there any oak trees on grapevine?? I did a little exploring yesterday for the 1st time, and didn't see a single oak...just a lot of pecans. Maybe I was just in the wrong area...

We where out there Saturday morning on the south end of 377 down the old school rd. We pick up 68 hulls 12 and 20 ga. before we made to the first creek , also water bottles ,Taco casa cups .Some poeple just don't take care of our FREE hunting land .

There are some really big oaks an native pecans if you know where to look. I hunted a set of oaks out there one season and saw deer every sit.

Thanks for picking stuff up, Brushpopper. I'm going to buy me a roll of trashbags today and put them in my truck so I remember to take one with me so I can pick up trash too when I'm walking back out. Some people are never gonna care but enough people do, it can make a small difference anyway.

I was out there sunday walking and exploring. I found somebody's extention ladder nicely hidden. Had a chuckle about what a pain it must have been to pack that all the way to where I found it.

How is the turkey out there? I've seen almost no sign of them. I finally found a spot that one had been dusting. But it looked not to have been used in a good long while. No fresh tracks, no new feathers... Are there just too many 'yotes out there for there to be any turkey?

[flufster]

Well we checked cameras and came up with nada ...did have a couple coons and these two critters..

Smile your on candid camera...LOL

You got it.

The Vine is over run with venomous snakes!

Over the years I've seen 2 big timber rattlers, 2 cottonmouths, and a copperhead.

Too bad there are no deer out there...

man we have seen the snakes this year!!!!

Do these texas deer prefer to eat pecans?? I have heard they will eat them, but have never witnessed it, and I didn't think it was a preferred food source.

Man I must be scouting the wrong areas. I am not seeing any sign of deer or snakes. I guess when I get into the snakes I will where everyone else is hunting.

I haven't seen pecan shells in the scat out there but pecans have more calories per oz than even acorns do so I would bet they do.
