I was hoping to get out there either Sunday or Monday, but the setups I was wanting to do probably won’t work out if the winds stay like predicted. I was really hoping this northern wind would stick around until then, but it doesn’t look like that will be the case.
If I get a chance to hunt one of those days, it will be somewhere other than LBJ.

1. Orange has to be worn by even bow hunters?
2. Can corn be used?
3. Other then my license and a annual public hunting permit is there anything I need?
2. No
3. Only hunting license required

I was up there this morning to pull a camera, no issues, didn't seem like they got the rain we did in DFW.
Several things could have happened to my camera, I forgot to turn in on (has happened before), someone found it and erased pics/turned it off, or I scouted a really bad place. I lean toward not turning it on.
I'll add to Rick's response, orange may be a good idea walking around, I believe you can hunt with shotgun/muzzleloader for hogs during archery only, plus you never know with the proximity to DFW how many idiots may be out there.
Good luck next weekend.

My problem is my entry on a south-ish wind destroys me. No sense sitting a spot when the feeding area is downwind of my last 500 yards of entry.

What are some of the food sources y’all are noticing? I haven’t ran across any reliable sources of acorns. Seems like a lot of trees aren’t producing much or I’m just blind. Most of my stand positions are between water sources and bedding areas. Not that they are bad, as I’ve gotten plenty of deer on film, but I feel like I’ve been looking over better positions.

Acorns are few and far between this year thanks to the really dry June and July. Also, most of the acorns in our area are in the red oak family which means the acorns dropping this were set in spring of 2017. We had some really late freezes last year that terminated a lot of flowers. Add that to the dry year we had and the oaks in frost free pockets aren’t producing as well either.
I am focusing a lot on natural food sources like greenbrier, saplings, Forbes, and the like.
