I only saw 3 deer and 1 hog the last evening. All we're 400+ yards away. I had my camper out there and didn't want to load and drive home in the freezing temps so I called it quits and didn't hunt the last morning. James (pasture next to me) said I made a good decision, he didn't see anything the last morning. All in all I had a great time, I didn't leave empty handed and saw a lot of wildlife.

What you get to take home?

Just the doe I shot on day one. I could have shot several others but kept waiting. Same with the pigs.

Might let them know other state parks do that, only been having hunts there a few years they are new at this, gotta put the blinds were the deer are...

In my opinion hunting where the campsites are would result in less opportunity. I stayed in a campsite for this hunt. There is zero cover or forage. That place was hit hard during the wildfires of 2011.

I hunted standby at Bastrope. Saw pigs and deer everyday, miss judge size of pigs second afternoon, Ranger said they were the "brothers" that hung out along the highline running through the park. He said they would go over 400lbs. Every time I saw deer they were running, a few seconds after they passed, coyotes came to look at me. The last day I threw rocks at them, couldn't shoot them.
I would hunt there again.

Chaps812 · 04-06-2018, 01:58 AM

I did not kill, but did see many animals deer and Aoudads.
I had surgery last August on my back, having to learn how to do many things again. Could not draw a bow till now.
I have been trying to use a crossbow this year. I have never had to deal with string jumping in 40 years of hunting till now. I did not believe a crossbow was so load. The deer I shot at and the Aoudads acted like they were in the "Matrix", just side stepped my shots. I really couldn't believe what I saw.
Next year I'll be using a bow.
I like the crossbows I have, but I cannot quiet them enough, even using 300 grain broadheads, which helped more than the silencer systems.

Have any of y'all had string jumping issues?

topduarte · 01-08-2019, 09:54 PM

I will be doing standby tomorrow. Good luck to all.

TXOUTLAW · 01-08-2019, 11:22 PM

I know this is an old post but dude there are no Aoudad there, you must be referring to a different state park...

Did they take standys, I heard they maybe weren't because it was too wet, they were going to have a hard time finding spots in the designated compartments for the hunters show.

You are right. No standbys. I just found out.

Back to work.
