Drawn for Whitetail hunt at Matador

[Ranchstroke]

Me and my buddy got drawn for either sex deer at Matador. Second hunt period 11-11 thru 11-15. Anyone ever hunt whitetail there? Any preferences on pasture or area? Any dos or don't? Thanks for any help. Much appreciated.

Have a friend that owns a place that is up the road from the matador and has taken some 170 to 190 deer

See my report on same hunt last year. It's fun.

Never hunted there but I know there are some giants up there. The area just looks like big buck country

I hunt close by, should be in the peak of rut activity as far as chasing goes. For that part of the state, my tips would be to bring rattling antlers, best tool to locate deer up there, good binoculars or a packable spotter are important as well, and be comfortable taking about up to 300+ Best of luck! Matador is an awesome place with some great animals

My son and I were drawn two years ago for the antlerless hunt. We chose the O.X pasture. Plenty of sign every where we laid a step but unfortunately we had to call it short and left 2 days into the hunt without filling our tags. I'd go back for sure if I were to get drawn again.

I also drew the same hunt, 18 years and finally drew something. I’ll be going solo. There’s another TBher that drew same dates too

tough hunt. No baiting but plenty of WT up there. Look for a water hole. Good luck

There are working windmills on every compartment I believe. Not a bad place to start. I saw some really nice bucks there. Wt and mulie

Yes. You can't go wrong in any pasture. Don't shy away from the open country. Find some high points with good visibility and glass, glass, glass. Take shooting sticks.

Definitely rattle time, just ensure long range visibility down wind.

Do not sit at waterholes or windmills as the Pease River offers water throughout.

There's whitetail everywhere, but higher percentage of mule deer in rougher country.

Good luck! Post update and results

Good Luck. That hunt is on my bucket list.

You cant go wrong with East A. Lots of good country to look over.

Drawn for Whitetail hunt at Matador

Sorry..... totally forgot about the post. Me and my buddy both got a buck in Dogleg pasture. First morning I got mine on the river, 8 degrees. Buddy got his last morning. Great hunt... should have never sold that place... haha. I would post pictures but looks like I ain't smart enough.
