Just an added bit of knowledge to pass on to you if you havent discovered it already, when you hunt with multiple people, when you find your destination to sit, spread out. Give yourself atleast 50 yards between each person. That will greatly enhance the possibility of someone getting eyes on your target. Happy hunting!
I’m surprised y’all didn’t overheat with all that gear. Snake gaiters? I’ve never used them… You’re safe in the middle of the day and if you just walk on the trail and avoid their normal haunts you’re good… I’ve seen them many times (cotton mouths /water moccasins) and on at least 1 occasion found one laying next to my Rod, but they don’t just attack… always give them right of way.
Go there seldomly don’t take my AR as I don’t want to make a GW nervous so just a basic bolt rifle now. It’s fun mostly solo once in a while with friends!
Was just scouting for hogs today in the Sam. Saw a lot of sign... but it THICK and bugs are rough, was thinking of traveling down some creeks with the right boots... Do you have to wear Orange even though it isn't deer season? What is the biggest piece of advice you would give from your trip? Thanks!
Exactly, thick as hell. I think lightweight, calf-high waterproof boots may be your best bet. It worked well for my buddies. In terms of wearing orange for hog hunting on public land, we always refer to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department guidance. In terms of hunting regulations about orange, see here: tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual/hunting/general-regulations/overview We always try to remember to wear our orange on public lands. We even strapped orange to our backpacks! I believe our biggest piece of advice is to look at walk-in access points that'll take you to a running water. These creeks where we did our ground sits were nearly dry. Therefore, we didn't see a thing. Go to the running water!

Ok, I'm only 3 minutes but I gotta say... you're walking into one of the hardest hunted, most heavily pressured areas of the forest.

Are there designated hunting areas? Just wondering for when I might want to camp there or hike the trails.

I’m trying to hunt this forest for the first time and I’m looking at on x hunt and I can’t find my creeks or water. Do you think you could help me?
Did the deer/horse flies tear you guys up?
We got lucky and no extended horse fly attacks...but the mosquitos. THE MOSQUITOS.
