Anyone hunting Gus England starting today?

[Houston77]

Let’s see if any TBH’s are in the woods.

[FF316]

My group is. We are in unit 5. Real thick and lots of marsh type land. Few acorns and lots of track around those.
We’re you the one in the HFD shirt?

[Houston77]

Was a tough hunt

OP that is a good one, wish he would have given you an opportunity.

Found a good bottom, overcups and water oaks dropping acorns. Never saw a deer or hog.
Dad hunted further up the bottom on some scrapes and saw a doe and 2 yearlings. He stuck it out hoping the buck would circle back to work scrapes.
I put 2nd stand up Saturday at lunch and hunted it Sunday and this morning. Saw 3 deer, one was a 7pt that didn't meet the requirements. Other 2 I only know they were deer. Pretty sure the controlled burns they did helped the yaupon tremendously.
Warm temps and full moon didn't help things

61 total hunters (I think at least 1 never showed up) killed a nubbin, a doe and a 4yo 8pt around 120 I would guess.

I did see 4 turkeys the first evening and 10 more on Friday morning. Looks like some poults made it through.

They have hammered the hogs, between 750 and 800 taken off that place in last 2 years and I think the biologist said they took 300+ off of it 3 years ago

That many the hunters have shot or that what they trapped and heli shot? Last time I was drawn there several years ago now could have shot a pig every sit but held out hope for a deer, the year before that did shoot some pigs because I took a doe the first night.

Trapping

We did not see or even hear a pig the whole hunt and we were in the Catfish Creek bottom. Very little sign of a hog too

The hogs had almost ruined Gus England and Richland Chambers last time I was at either one. Hope they keep the hammer down on them. You could not deer hunt for the hogs running through or eating the acorns like a vacuum!
