Sabine Island WMA
On google earth there looks like there is a dirt boat launch down Salters Bluff Rd. Does anyone know if this is public? Thanks in advance.
|
Or where to get permission?
|
Unless things have changed then yes its public and its free, sure there will be a sign if things changed
|
Thanks. Not familiar with area trying to get some info. Any tips or things to lookout for? I will be launching a kayak and plan to do some scouting on northern part of island.
|
Watch the current because it can get real strong in that area and there, we hunted there yrs ago and I plan to start again this yr..... study Google earth, bring GPS and compass and the highline or pipeline areas are good boundaries to follow
|
There is a launch on Bass Lake Rd. just on the back side of Starks. Wouldn't be far to paddle.
|
Thanks

Ive been hunting the island for 10 plus years and this year has the most hogs than ive ever seen, so get ready to see plenty of them!
|
Be careful at them launches I had things stole out the back of my truck, I launch at nibblets, they have a camera there now.
|
True, True. Launch at your own risk!

And the salters bluff ramp is pretty washed out, but just putting a kayak in should be no problem. If you have any other questions or need someone to go with on the island just shoot me a pm. I've been hunting the north end my whole life.
|
Hey Bear, do you know where to get on them hogs out there?
|
Just go anywhere on the island and you will find hogs, walk in the woods 20 yards and look down and see hog tracks everywhere
|
I haven't hunted out there in years. My just have to take a little hike and bring my medicine gun for them hogs.

Biggest hog I ever saw was at the Island.
It was late and I was about to climb down when I heard something walking in the water. It would walk a little and stop for a while. Then it got on higher ground but I could hear it hitting Palmetto plants. I finally got a quick look in the dim light, when it was ~50 yards away. I was not sure what I had just seen. It was so big, I thought it might have been a bear. It was very dark in color and about the right shape. When it got to an area with less brush, I saw it was a big hog....maybe 250-300 lbs but I missed my only chance at a clear shot with the rifle. If I would have shot it, I am not sure how I would have gotten it back to my boat by myself and then how would I have lifted it into the boat. |
