Looking forward to getting a popup brushed in and having a South Texas bruiser come in.
Looking at there FB page, some decent looking deer were killed last year. I met the biologist two years ago while on a Javi hunt at the chaparral, he seems like a good guy and is running a good operation considering what he has to work with.

I hunted the Choke Canyon - North Shore unit last year for a management deer rifle hunt. Its divided into 4 compartments. Very THICK brush with few senderos. Archery will be challenging. If I was to hunt it during the rut in early January, I would take a medium sized tripod and bury it into a thick bush with 2 or 3 "shooting windows" to fly an arrow through and I would "rattle up" a buck. The deer here know about "pop-up" blinds but a well hidden tripod is the best thing. If you feed corn, then you will have plenty of javelinas and hogs around. There are some BIG bucks in these compartments but the brush is so thick that you can hardly scout it. I hunted in the farthest compartment which was 4 and used a tripod. Very first evening , I had a doe with a yearling and a very small 8 pointer. The rest of the hunt went terrible with no more deer sighted.

The Choke Canyon - North Shore Unit has a paved road that snakes through all four compartments. You could literally take yourself a car and drive through all compartments and just park off the side of the road in your compartment. If you drive off this paved road and go into and on one of the few senderos, then I would look out for mesquite thorns. Again, take yourself a small light tripod and do some rattling in January! By the time you hit the first compartment then drive all the way to the back of compartment 4, you probably will drive about 1.5 miles.
