Grapevine 2020-2021

[TrophyClubHntr]

This year may be different but isn't there a 24 hour rule on stands? Last year I noticed twice someone came in and cleared stands out in the area I had to walk through to where I liked to set up. My opinion is I wont touch someone else stuff but I will share location with corp staff in an email. They enjoy those emails when you tell them where ppl have permanent stands and hanging feeders etc.

Remember to call if your shoot a deer and can’t find it. My dog and I can come help you retrieve it. I know the Vine pretty well and only live 2 miles from the Corp land. I do not charge finders fee. 97Two - eight 21-166zero

[Bad2TheBone]

It’s been super quiet on here this year!!

[GBludau]

Yep, very quiet.
The weather and time is right.
Guess I better go ahead and make my visit.

Il get out there this evening and tmrw am

[pervis]

Saw one black hog. No shot

[GBludau]

Spent several days out there. Put in hard miles from I-35 (west boundary) all the way to 377, then everything north of Dentoncreek to east boundary. Covered 26mi of turf in 3 days walking/Ebike.

Not much for deer sign. A rare scrape/rub. Plenty of hogs. Could have emptied multiple quivers on hogs.

Tough place. Possibly some potential(yeah I know about the previous sh*t), but nothing impressive during my time there. Perhaps, the best is yet to come.

Grapevine is the noisiest place I've ever experienced. Highway noise, haul trucks, airplanes, race car track, construction noise. Its deafening at times. It also the filthiest place I've ever seen. The amount of trash that is pushed into the place from when the river floods is saddening and over whelming.

Came across alot of stands and cameras. Not to worry, I don't touch other hunters belongings because I am not a piece of ****. I left some of my own to soak.

Much respect to the successful hunters. In the past. That's different turf. I bet Insaw 200 people today using the mountain bike path. I most certainly suprised them all as I biked out the opposite way of the path with bow, pack, sticks and camo full blitz!

One guy said, " Bike Hunting?" I replied, " Deer hunting, or else I'd had my limit hours ago"(yuppieboy)

The vine definitely makes you work for it. At least the miles with the Ebike weren't bad, right?

Do they allow electric bike there I know some other projects are starting to outlaw them. They are considering them no different than a hunting golf cart and the golf cart falls into the atv category which the corp doesn't allow.

[skelsey]

Watch out grapevine police are coming out now

[GBludau]

Meh. He always post bologna. Disregard.

Besides the fishing, Grapevine Lake is well known most for its access to extensive and very well maintained and highly utilize MILES of mountain bike trails.

Should I even continue?!

Not to mention the ATV/UTV/Dirtbike offroad section within Trophy Club Park.

Charge your ebike and pedal on, BOSS!

You didnt find the right spot. I always see something when i go. Id like to get out more than once a week, but too much life bs in the way right now. Hopefully will hunt again on thurs afternoon.

[pervis]

Had about 9 hogs come out. Too far out of range. Had a big owl come swoop in and land in the tree in front of mine. Cool experience. The owl was big.

[SC-001]

My cousin has an electric drit bike, would that be legal to use out there? I sthere a speed limit on the trails?

[Buck Smacker]

Nice sit this morning with a bit of a cool front. I thought my chances were good, but I just heard some hogs rooting around behind me.

There a quite a few deer around there. I live in flower mound and we saw almost a dozen deer on hwy 26 right in front of Gaylord Hotel. Watched a small buck get him by a car. Dead does all along the dam road by the golf courses.

[Grapevine USACE]

E-bikes are not allow on USACE property

Ha, yep until I see literature proving otherwise with a date. I can make a handle that says Offical Grapevine USACE and say otherwise on a hunting forum thread.

Being said, if that is the case, that is some dumbass liberal logic. There's miles of mountain bike trails that are used by hundreds if not thousands of people monthly, plus the ATV/OFFROAD park. To say that ebikes aren't allowed for hunters to use to manage hog & deer populations that benefit the property is completely ignorant and unreasonable. What are the other humans doing to benefit the USACE property when using a mountain bike trail or offroad usage area?

Not asking you personally BossBowman, I don't care about your opinion.

My point stands and I will make a handle that says alternate if needed.

A post on this forum is not significant, it is merely a post on the world wide web.

Grapevine USACE, IF thats your rules, make it known and in official writing on your rules and regulations. Until then, I will use what I own to hunt Grapevine. After that, I will follow said rules or face the consequences.

I'll wait for your official documented response with quoted literature on this so called rule.

Until then, I'll be non pedaling through Grapevine.

Good luck to everyone gettin after ducks this weekend. I won’t make it till next week

[GBludau]

I found literature that says, "Access to interior designated hunt areas is authorized by foot or boat only" so you may be correct, Bossbowman.

So either a regular bike is not even authorized, or every person riding a bike on the "bike trail" is a criminal.

I have not found any literature on ebikes.

Anyone experiencing any problems with parking? Like Parking off road within Denton or Tarrant counties?

[troy_w_7]

Is there still parking at the Schooling Road spot?

[buckeyehunter]

How do you get on to grapevine to hunt? Is it a draw? or just public?

I think you can definitely get a ticket if you just park off the side of the road, but no problems at the lot on bobcat blvd and 377

I believe that was for people that pulled off the shoulder and jumped the fence there. Look at the lot on Bobcat blvd & 377.

I just find that sometimes instead of creating an adversary in or through a contentionous situation, that one can be more tactful by befriending such person. And then leading them to find the correct answer, or way of life. This not only saves both parties a lot of grief, but can also lead to a life long friendship as well. As well as the admiration of others who on the outside, see what is happening. Everyone then benefits from such situation.

[aggie14]

The other evening a guy shot a doe and she laid down about 5 yards from me. That was a first but I'm glad to see they're moving.

[Buck Smacker]

I'll be hunting this weekend.

Can we get a count for TBHers that got drawn this season? Doesn't seem to be very many.

[GBludau]

I'm hunting somewhere else. They hunted Sun/Mon. The doe was the only deer seen between the 2 of them. And some sorry sucker stole one of their cameras. Broke the camera off the cable.
