Have any of you hunted Indian Mounds Wilderness east of Hemphill? What are your opinions on deer hunting this area vs the rest of Sabine NF which is managed with cyclical burning?

It is definitely less accessible now than how you describe it in the 80s. Basically 2 man road running N/S from 83 towards Housen. Really no forest service roads within the boundaries to speak of. I’m really just curious because it is so much different than the surrounding forest. A quick look at satellite imagery and it stands out like a sore thumb. Younger timber, thicker understory (for now), and more hardwoods than managed forest. I’ll be checking it out this year.

Following. I didn't know you could hunt Indian Mounds itself. I do a fair bit of hunting in Sabine NF as my family owns ~25 acres surrounded by the forest right up the road from the mounds. There are plenty of deer, some very nice ones. It is just a pain in the *** to hunt lol, typical of east Texas though.

Maybe one of you scouting that area will run across that Mathew Edgar fellow……….what a cluster……
Back on track though, I know a few people that hunt that area and all say that access is far and few between. There has been some respectful animals taken the last few years also out of that government ground.

I've taken quite a few good ones through the years. Last year was a tough one but I left some big ones running around my neck of the woods. Hopefully the local outlaws entertain themselves somewhere else lmao
