      I drove out there two weeks ago and the grass is head high by the side of the road. Way different than when I was out there a couple of years ago.

        That’s not good.......unless your only about 2' tall…..LOL That was one of the problems when we hunted about 4-5 years ago. Grass was too tall to see over when sitting in a chair.

                Little update. Passed on a doe at 20 yards because as soon as I put my finger on the release a nalgia cow stepped out at 50 yards. Didn't range her and shot for 40 and missed. Had 2 does at 25 and full draw but I guess they smelled me and would never step out of the brush.

                      Saw one doe yesterday evening but way too far for a shot. I think the same doe poped out this morning at 25 yards. I got all ready and waited until she looked away to draw....got about 1/2-3/4 drawn and my D-loop broke. Punching your self in the face hurt like hell. So nothing yet..

                          I saw a doe and yearling Saturday evening and nothing Sunday morning. I pretty much stop and talked to everyone that was out on the roads. Everyone CLAMMING they weren't seeing anything. The word on the roads was that one 7 point was shot and I help a guy drag out a doe. Also 2 or 3 hogs were shot but never found. Even though we didn't kill anything I still had a blast and ready to go back next year.

                              Where you hunting on the ground or tripod and also was everybody hunting off a particular road or scattered on all three roads. Trying to get a plan together for December.

                                we hunted on the ground. A short 6-8' tripod would probably be good if you have one. (I'm looking for plans right now to build one for next time). Some places there is grass 3-4' tall and then some place no grass at all. Most of the trucks were on 30 and 20. 10 has a lot off traffic and 18-wheelers going up it pretty much all day. I think there are deer though out the whole place, Its just a matter of getting lucky and setting up on the right trail.
