        just bought a bowhunt tag for this. First timer there. I've already scouted the satellite like a madman, but any pointers would be great.

              Hunting condition reports?

              Rain, ponds/standing water, fawn crop, helicopter hog removal, burned areas? Lets not talk about the snakes and mosquitoes.....

                  Scouted yesterday and the Refuge looks really good for this years archery hunt. It's dry at this time, ponds are holding good water but the hog wallers, ditches,and pools are dry. Acorn crop is good, grass is tall and green because of this years thunder showers. Found plenty of rubs and even a few scrapes. Sheeters were not that bad but they will be if there's some rain and cooler weather before the hunt. Only snake I saw was a 5' Coachwhip. I'm very excited about this years hunt.

                    Thanks to all who came to the IBEP course this weekend. Deer on the refuge look to be in great shape. Even saw a couple young bucks messing with does. But also some bucks still buched up. Good luck to all and be safe.

                          Good luck to all you Aransas hunters.......you have to be a really hard core archery hunter to want to go back to Aransas..... got to be one of toughest places to hunt deer in the state.... post some updates on how its going during the week if y'all can --- may the Karankawa spirits bring you good luck...... hope this cool spell makes it all the way down there this week - bucks should be chasing more if it does......

                            Is the government budget deadline going to delay Aransas opening the gates tomorrow? Hope not - but it has happened in the past......

                              Yes they have, that's why your question is valid!

                                Scott got a really nice 6pt, weighed 95-lb.
