Sorry, 2756, not 2575.. I think the exhaustion from stalking that area got to me. Some really thick country..

I've found some really good spots by a very unique way. I fly a powered parachute over the area. Crazy stuff I have seen. Not far from Princeton

Weird, in high school I use to throw bonfire parties in some of those areas and we would drink and smoke cigars because we thought we were cool. Had no idea people hunted out there, that may have been about 5 years ago. Lol I'm glad nobody ended up getting shot by a bow. Hahah

Take rubber boots, it's going to be a muddy mess, but I bet the pigs will be moving.
Good luck. Shoot me a pm if you need help dragging one out. |

OK sounds good thanks I'm close to 12 I will probably stop by there because the people at the office said to check 12 and 13 and then I'll probably make my way to 3 and 4. Thanks!

Sorry guys my service was spotty out there. I went to 2 and saw signs of them but didn't hear or see any. I had to leave because my wife got a hold of me and I had some family stuff come up. If anyone ends up going hog hunting in the near future and wouldn't mind some company let me know! I have yet to stick anything with my bow and ready to get me a hog

I am new to bow hunting. On public land like Lake Lavon are folks doing stalking, still or stand hunting mostly? I am primarily interested in stalking/still hunting but don't want to interfere with sombody else's hunt. What is the general etiquette for stalking on public land.

What is the snake population in the Lake Lavon area? Worth investing in some gaiters?

It depends. Back in 2013 I saw 3 copperheads, lots of hognose snakes (no they aren't venomous) and more cotton mouths than I wanted to count. If you're in area 2 and you're near water, keep an eye out.
I mostly wear mud boots out there, as I can't seem to find a reliably waterproof pair of snake boots. |

Well I tried snooping around this evening on the north end and its flooded as bad as I've ever seen it in the 5 yrs I've been hunting Lavon. I'm talking 3-4ft of water in areas just above the flood plain!
All I wound up seeing was a skunk, and my hip boots got a real nice hole in them which made for an enjoyable evening. If any of you guys wind up going tomorrow, if you can find anywhere that isn't flooded near heavy cover, I'd assume you'd find hogs. The way the woods were, everything has to be pushed out of them if they're at or below the flood plain. |

Can you gutless field dress an animal on the Lake Lavon land or are there restrictions about what you can leave behind?

I belive as long as you hide everything behind a bush or tree as long as its not just laying out in the open you will be fine. I would call the office and ask just to make sure

Picked up Lake Lavon hunting permit today. Asked about the gutless field dressing. Sounded like standard field dressing was okay. Just leave the guts behind a bush but didn't want you to leave the head and such behind. The gentleman there suggested areas 9 and 12. I did some scouting of 9. I saw quite a bit of sign but no animals.
