Welcome to the site!

Have you narrowed down a few areas that you thought you might like to hunt?

I know Tomme does alot of hunting around Ft. Hood. Beleg hunts around Granger and some other areas that are in the PLHP.

I hunt alot in the Sam Houston National Forest and learned to scout as much during the off season, then again a few weeks before season to find productive areas with lots of sign and the vegetation that the deer prefer to browse on.

I'll look for the link for the site I've used that refrences the prefered bowse for whitetails in the various geographical areas and post it.....my personal pc is being worked on and that link is saved to favorites. I found it by doing a google.com search.

Also getting off the "beaten path" helps as well when hunting these areas. Find heavy trails, old rub/scrape lines and areas with lots of food and set up. Most hunters hunt within a few hundred yards of the main roads, so going deep pays off, that and it is more enjoyable as you will see more game of every type. Acorns are the preffered mast crop and whitetails will seek them out first. Whites are preferred over Red acorns thought hey will eat them after the whites are gone or if the are has more red oaks then white.

Also...remember that the deer on PL's aren't "programmed" the way they are on leases or private land that relyon feeders. They move when they want and I have killed most of my deer between 11 and 1 O'clock as they are not conditioned to hit a feeder programmed to sling feed at first and last light. Though the golden time of pre-dusk is always good where ever ya go.

Let us know what areas ya had in mind and I'm sure there are folks who have hunted it.
