Was out there with my brother-n-law scouting for him today. Found some amazing sign. Found some stand locations from some segment A peeps also. He should have a great hunt. I’ll be hunting our lease about 1/4 mile from the Goode unit so good things should happen.

I think for every buck that was taken in segment A there were 5 that were seen and I'm sure many more that laid low. Fresh, huge, rubs this weekend all over the place. Bucks coming in to rattling antlers on public land this weekend. This cold front is going to have them frisky as ever. It's a dang crap shoot as to the perfect spot. I think many of the bucks in segment B are going to be WAY out of their territories this week. Looking forward to meeting some TBH personalities at orientation. Can't focus on work! SO...distracted!

Good luck Seg. B hunters. Still sick to my stomach, but hopefully somebody else gets him or finds him.
Red dots are where the last blood was found headed north. I walked all inside the blue, and grid searched the high lighted areas. I walked the creek, but did not make it the the beginning of Harris creek. Talked to one hunter on the last day that saw him the week before. He said he was a monster. White horns all over 10 inches in length with great mass. Also, the non typical looked just like Big Boy, has to be the same genetics. I was the second shot on him Saturday, another hunter missed him. He is enormous, and will be the talk of the town if anybody gets him.
My advice to all B hunters, don't set your bow down for the first hour of light, and the hour before dark. My saying is always, it will happen in 10 seconds, both times my bow was on the hanger. My arrow fell off on the big non typical on pull back, left it hanging over night and didn't check it. Second one, happened 23 minutes later and rushed the shot as he was walking. Good luck, and be ready. Keep your bow in your hands like I said, they are chasing does and as fast as the show up, they leave just as fast.

I was in there on Friday and saw buzzards just Northeast of those dots. Thought I had found your buck...turned out they were just on a dead hog... didn’t see anything else or any more buzzards in there.

I went and poked around this morning up there when the cold front was blowing through. I have 3 spots picked out and think any one of them will do.
Anybody know what the parking situation is this year? Last year they sent out a parking map but nobody really followed by it. Just wondering what my walking distance to stand is going to be.

I'll be following along "B" group. "A" group was a fun hunt! I'll second what Kurt said above...be sure to have your bow in hand ready to rock. There were multiple times that bucks moved into my setup within seconds of hearing them. Luckily, I remembered what Kurt said, "it can happen in seconds". I killed my buck at almost 11 am Friday morning, be ready! I was 10 minutes from pulling out a mid morning snack. Bucks will be on the cruise looking for does right now. I have a feeling that this segment may be the best one yet!
As for parking, they told us we could park anywhere we wanted as long as we weren't blocking the roads or gates, not breaking the law, and entering into the refuge through refuge (meaning, not entering through private property we had access to). They'll go over that in the orientation as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed my first hunt there. Met tons of great guys! Lots of guys I hadn't met before reached out to help drag my buck out once they had heard I shot one. The whole experience of the H is remarkable. I had my mind made up before the hunt that I wasn't going to bother putting in for it in the future with TPWD, but after segment A my mind was quickly changed.
Take it all in while you're there. It will go by fast! Sometimes, if you're not ready you'll miss it. Keep that bow in hand for as long as possible!
Good luck everyone! Can't wait to follow along!
