Just wanted to start a thread to keep making updates to about the hunt, and offer a spot for anyone to make observations or recommendations. Not really a lot of info or posts on this particular hunt. Many more about the mule deer hunt a month later.
I lucked out and drew for the second whitetail hunt at Matador this year, and added two hunting partners along on the app. Should be a fun time for us, and I'm hoping the week later date will off-set the disturbance of the previous weeks hunt. I know it is too early for the rut, but maybe some pre-rut roaming around will help keep the bucks visible. A great hunting experience for my one partner, who has never been to this part of Texas. A few nice bucks would be a definite plus too.
Looked at all the permit and map info, and think we have a understanding of what we will be in for. How bad are the snakes, if it stays hot. None of us wear chaps or boots, with all the hunting we do in the desert here, but we can generally see our feet at all times in the rocks and sagebrush. Not so sure about waist high grass in Matador!!!
Have hunted Caprock Canyon before for mule deer, and we stayed in Childress. That will be the plan again for this trip, and still keep us about 30 minutes from the WMA. Any spots people could recommend for good food???
