I'm hunting the Hagerman this weekend!

[2050z]

This is only a three day hunt, but I have been scouting this place since I was drawn back in the summer. Gear is ready to go and several stand locations have been picked out. One primary and six back up locations.

I feel like I have done enough home work on this place to see some deer.

Good luck broski!

Good luck Timm. You've put in a lot of work preparing for this hunt so don't forget to put on your game face :evil: .

Hope you get one of those fabled Hageman monsters.

Good luck Timm! I hope you have a great hunt. Can't wait to hear the stories and see the hero pictures! Be safe and have fun.

Thanks guys.

Finished my Hagerman hunting rig last night. :D
I am going up there after work today for one last scouting trip.

???????? How'd it go Bro?
Inquiring minds want to know :D

Segment B runs through today, Monday, 12/1/03. Due to Thanksgiving the segment didn't start until Saturday. I imagine Timm is still out bowhunting.

Well I am back and I had a great time. Saw deer everyday and a really nice P & Y buck. I shot a nice fat doe on Saturday. She weighed over 100 pounds field dressed. :D

[bowjunkie]

Congrats on your doe! Your hard work and scouting paid off! Too bad the Poper didn't oblige, there is always next year though :wink:

[Beleg]

Good things happen to good people. Congratulations on the doe 2050Z.

I'm glad I got some help from you guys about hunting there.

[Linedawg]

Congrats Timm! Lets hear the story on the poper. I got a small buck and a doe this last week but I had to use a rifle to do it. :oops: At least it's freezer meat. Look forward to sharing some hunts this year. Now we'll have some meat for the grill! :P

Take care,
Linedawg

Congratulations Timm, and you too Linedawg (even if you did cheat :>) ) Timm I'm beginning to think that any deer off of public lands is a major accomplishment.

[2050z]

Thanks guys. I feel great because all the scouting I did paid off. No feeder to draw the deer. I will certainly be applying for next year.

[Linedawg]

Timm, maybe we can work it out to hunt the Hagerman together next year. Do you get to camp there or did you make the drive each morning? Congrats again.

There is no camping on the Hagerman, but we found a cheap motel in Sherman. It only took us fifteen minutes to get to the refuge. Watch Hagerman's website on when they will be accepting postcards. I think I mailed mine in last May and I got a letter in June.

Get that post card to them and play the waiting game.
