I hunted out there last year and it is a really cool place. I was able to get around with my truck just fine. There is hardly any cell service and it is easy to get turned around out there. Either have a gps or marking tape. I didn't shoot anything but I saw the most deer on the roads driving to and from my stand. Get out there on the first day and do as much exploring as you can. Stay on the look-out after dark whenever you're driving back to camp. I saw a couple real nicer shooters on the road right at dark on the last day. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions!

Been there twice on a youth hunt. 4whlr comes in handy. The camp site is ok. You won't have to worry about your stuff unless some of the other hunters looks "shady" to you. All I can tell you, just past the ck station, turn back to right, then a little ways to the right is a bridge going across a creek. Just cross the creek a 100 or so yards, is a pretty good deer crossing.
Being it was a youth hunt, didn't get to spend a lot of time to scout it out. There is another good spot I found, but me tryin to tell you, yall never will find it. My boy shot a doe at that spot. We also encountered 2 bucks that would put some at the Chap to shame. Couldn't do any thing with those being this was a doe/spike only hunt. That was Bummer!!

Originally posted by TreeStandMan View PostJake thanks for the info, how did you hunt from climbing stand or on the ground? I have a ground blind, but I think deer always notice them. Also have a tripod that I could use. Gave my 4 wheeler to my brother in law because I never used it, but will be able to borrow it if needed. How is the camping area, is it safe to leave your stuff out without having to pack it all up in your truck everyday? I hunt the Sam Houston National Forest which is mostly pines and some hardwood bottoms. I am thinking this area is mostly hardwoods also or is it more swampy? The rut should be starting, so I will be looking for scrapes and rubs or try to find creek crossing areas. I am sure there will be more questions that I will ask you before the hunting date.
