    I too will be pulling in our place some time late Sunday north of Milam. Got my Dad and uncle hand feeding a few spots and should be sitting over one of them looking for a good one early Monday morning.

    Best of luck to all the Sabine County, Texas hunters......

          Ok those of y'all who have had some success answer this question. Are y'all seeing more activity around food sources or just deer just passing through. I've hunted some wide open areas to see if anything would just pass through and I 've hunted oaks. Seen 2 deer in about 8 sits. What ya think

            Forgive me for asking a potentially dumb question, but since SNF doesn’t hav doe permits issued (except the Moore) can you take a doe on regular snf?

              Only during bow season and muzzleloader season. I think?

                I always try to get between thick bedding and where the acorns are dropping, or even private land . Most of the places I hunt you can see the trails that look like game highways . I usually always see does when I go ( and lots of pigs ).

                    I haven’t been able to find anything online. The book says “if permits has been issued” which they are for Moore but aren’t for the rest of the Sabine

                        Another question. Looking at Google earth there are a few ponds out on the Moore plantation. Has anyone tried to hunt near them maybe duck hunt them.

Dont get me wrong, I've got no problem with sitting in a nice warm blind over a feeder any day, but there's just something about public land that keeps bringing me back and I have yet to take a deer on public land other than drawn hunts.
                          you will get one on public land just keep doing what your doing and it will happen. keep scouting them and knowing there were abouts.

                              And it was a toad..... Congrats.

                              Well the family and I returned Saturday night from a week of hunting the Sabine National Forest along with our private owned land. It is always a great time spent with my brother, Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, cousins and so forth......

                              Ashton and I spent the majority of the week hunting the same ridge that over looks a large acorn flat where I killed my buck last year within the national forest while my brother, and others hunted our private land.

                              We ended up seeing over 15 different deer and killed one black hog from that acorn flat. Out of the 15 deer we saw, 5 where bucks, but none even close to being legal. Most deer I have ever seen in the national forest during a hunting week.

                              Got checked by the local Game Warden, Mr. Williams I believe was his last name. Very polite and respectful man.

                              2 of the mornings Ashton and Breck wanted to sleep in, so me and my brother eased into a Cypress Slough and banged a quick mix bag limit of ducks.....Teal, Wood Ducks, Gadwalls and a Widgeon or 2.

                              Best of luck to all of you SNF guys and hope all fill a tag during the last half of the season.
