Originally posted by jomw10 View PostI hunted a few years ago. Great place, but a huge storm went through and destroyed my tent. All poles snapped, and water everywhere. We end up sleeping inside the abandon building for the rest of the hunt. One of the hunters decided to stay out all day during the storm, he didn't have much fun on it!.
I only had one chance at a deer, but I hadn't even loaded the gun yet so no shot. Didn't have another chance!... But others shot nice deer usually 300 yards or so.

Also got a buddy I met after seeing him paddle up to camp at Amistad with a mouflon draped over his kayak. Some of these guys are insane. LolLast edited by justletmein; 09-19-2020, 08:59 PM.

Matagorda Island Story - never deer hunted there, but when I was a kid my brothers and dad, my Dad's friend and his son camped and fished one night. Dads friends son had a been hooked in gut in rodeo so was still recovering, wrapped at the waist but hobbling. A northern supposed to come in the coming Monday, thought we'd be long gone on Sunday. About 4am I woke up and floundered with my Dad's friend. He told me look at the lightening coming. Gigged a few, went back to bed. Hour later the tent turned into the moon walk with ~ 70 mile + winds according to coast guard. Everyone in the undies trying to hold corners of the tent down.
Boat almost drug out into the bay. At daylight helicopters flying over, learned later a tug had been flipped in the gulf. Going back to dock in the and swells that resembled off shore storm. I've been in panhandle blizzards but never been that cold in my life
Moral of this Story - - Never go to Matagorda Island if there's a good northern coming and if there is, I'd give the weatherman 48 hours for error.
