Hagerman Segment C Thread

[grahamvan]

Hey there fellow Hagerman Seg C(December 3-5) bow hunters. Congrats to all of us for drawing the hunt. Not sure how this hint goes, and never even been on the property. But I really enjoy camping and sharing stories with fellow hunters. Where does everyone typically camp for the weekend? I’d enjoy having a bunch of us DIY hunters in camp together to help each other drag all our bucks out!!

Cheers, Graham VanDusen.

Yes. If drawn you should have recvd an email, but still worth checking on TPWD website, where you can check the status of your application. Go into "Drawn Hunts", then choose "Check Status" and enter your info. Right now it would show as either "Won" or "Pending 2nd Draw".

Pending 2nd Draw is where they release spots from anyone who won but didn't pay for permit by Sept 11. So still a possibility but very very small.

I'm in. A buddy and I will be there for the first time. Not sure where we will be staying, hoping for input on that. Also, I'm working on scheduling a bowhunter ed field day in Tyler if anyone is needing the certification

Looks like there are some campgrounds around the lake. Probably try and stay at the closest one. So there is power and electricity.

I’ve never been there before. So hoping I can get there and scout for a day soon.

You might get more interest / participation in the public hunting forum...good luck out there this year!

[prodigyoutdoors]

Good luck!

[Razorback01]

There are two campgrounds I'd recommend. On the east side of Texoma, Paradise Cove. It's just a short drive to the HQ, long drive at 20mph to two of the units.

West side, Big Mineral, not the nicer of the two. It's a long drive to the HQ, not too bad of a drive from Sandy/Godwin.

Just realize, as far as I know as in years past, you must physically check in at HQ each morning. Check out is via web app, or call in. Keep that in mind.

I've also heard that Paradise Cove is strict on "group camp", i.e. trucks on grass, number of folks/vehicles.

[Graysonhogs]

I'm in for C. It's only 20-25 minutes from the house.

[BowDude5000]

Me and a buddy are in for C as well! This will be my first time on the Hagerman.

That slim possibility on 2nd draw is how my neighbor drew this hunt. Lucky dog.

Looking forward to getting out there in Segment C. Congratulations to all those drawn.

[Graysonhogs]

I still have 2 campsites open for segment C. I have 4 for A and B. No charge. Full hookups , 30 amp. Nice campsite.

A buddy and I are in for Section C. I'm going up Sunday to get a look around, neither of us have been there. I'm primarily a public land hunter and looking forward to it.

[NelsonV]

I'm in for C with a Golden Ticket

[BTLowry]

Less than a month away folks

Sounds like seg A has knocked a few down, no pics that I have seen. Multiple reports of bucks chasing so may catch the 2nd round for the does that didn't breed early when we are up there

[Graysonhogs]

I’m in C still have a campsite available

I figured that out, went back and looked at pic. Guess I should read more details

[BTLowry]

9 days out from stand hanging day

We will be staying at Paradise Cove spot #22

[kdarwin]

Getting ready. Should be good hunt.

[Pistol]

I am looking forward to this hunt. Will take one last look around sometime later this week.

[chino]

I am in too

[bossbowman]

Good luck I think yall are gonna need it, kinda been a slow year especially considering Big Mineral is in the rotation.

[Stockmo]

I'm no expert but it seems like this year is running a little behind. I'm hoping we're hitting it just right. Either way a day in the woods is better than almost any other day.

I will take all the luck I can get

First H hunt was an eye opener and an experience.
Second hunt I was 50yds from where I might have had an opportunity at a very nice buck
Third round I am hunting with dad. Goal is to have a good time, hopefully see some bigger bucks than I am used to and if the stars line up shoot a H giant. If they don't line up perfect I will settle for a Golden Ticket doe

[kdarwin]

Looking forward to having the opportunity to hunt Hagerman for the ninth time. Have hunted Big Mineral 3 times, Godwin 2, Harris Creek 2 and Meyers 1 one time. Each time offered a great hunting experience. I am just excited for the upcoming hunt as I was for my first Hagerman experience. I’ve had success and I been humbled while hunting the refuge. Either way it’s always a great 3 days of hunting.

Harris is underrated especially with all the pressure BM gets during these hunts, just a shame it’s not in this years rotate. I had a close encounter with a gen u ine toad there 2019 seg A but no ethical shot. My heart still aches over it, and to my knowledge that buck has never been taken, at least not on one of the refuge hunts.

[treestandjunky]

two others and I will also be there for Seg. C.
It will be are first time also, we are looking forward to it.

[kdarwin]

Had a chance to look around some yesterday evening. Found several scrapes that still being used. Maybe it will rain some today and I can go back before Thursday and check them again. Not a great forecast for next week but could be worse. I dealt with the cobblestone ice during Segment C in 2013.

[jcrash]

Me and a buddy will be there next weekend. First time for both of us. Went up there yesterday to look around. Lots of hog sign. Found a couple of old scrapes and some fresh tracks. I’m relatively new to this so no telling what all I missed. I’ll go one more time before next weekend and plan my hunt from there. Good luck to everyone that will be there next weekend.

[dragonsdaddy]

If they can eat your kicked off the hunt, you can pour out liquid deer cane and they will eat it. Basically you can only use scents like tinks, trails end, vanilla killa etc

We were there, it was a memorable hunt and glad we were at flowing wells close to the refuge,

[NelsonV]

I saw lots of cars and trucks scouting today. I logged about 5 miles I’m guessing. Seen lots of old sign, some new sign, lots of old and new rubs, and a pretty good buck. We should have lots of fun.

IS IT THURSDAY YET! I know my buddy and I aren't the only ones excited about this hunt. This is our first Hagerman deer hunt. We logged a couple miles scouting this past weekend and saw no rubs, no scrapes, we didn't any bucks, a pack of hogs, or a big flock of Rios anywhere near the refuge.

We'll be staying at Paradise camp. Steve and Gary. We will probably target the SW Big Mineral back 40 ideally to get away from the pressure near the entrance points. Our wive's said we could use their bicycles. LOL. Anybody know how many of us there will be on this hunt?

Congrats and good luck to everyone drawn. Safe travels. Remember to leave it better than it was when you got there.

Me and my prying eyes, are in for the updates!

[Landrover]

I know this group will get it done in HIGH fashion this year!!! Following!!!

[BTLowry]

We are heading north about lunch.

Will be in Paradise campground #22

Probably ride over and look at the green fields just to see if anything moving and look at the ducks and geese before dark

Not thrilled with weather forecast, looking to be warmer than I would like but packing for everything from warm to cold since the weather guessers are known to be way off

[chino]

I am ready, and be up there tomorrow morning
