Gets a lot of pressure now. Better hunting is in the thickets/grass fields.

I haven't but I think a few guys from work have .. I'll see if I can get some info

How about camping areas? I saw there is no camping allowed on the refuge... Just need a place to pitch the tent... I could bring the camper but dont really need it

There are 2 campgrounds on the way into the reserve. I usually stay at Red River Campground. It is about a 20 minute drive into the reserve. They have 5 spots, I think, with sewer. All the others just have water and power.
This was 3 years ago, so it may have changed. |
We go to Mac's Everytime and will always go there. Good people there
|
Talked to the guy at Mack's and we can pitch a tent for $10/night... he told me he has a shower house with electricity for my dad's CPAP machine... He was very nice.
Glad they have a shower house so I can take my scent free shower before each hunt :) |
Game warden is *****. Best make sure u don't have any flaggin on you or anything that can screw into a tree. Study up on da rules out der it's not like our wma's

As somebody said, study the rules. |
I feel like I have a pretty good handle on the rules... I've hunted Tensas before and the rules are fairly similar. Hopefully I don't get into any trouble.

Hunt the edges on a trail , or a hot feed tree. DO NOT leave anything of value in your truck that is not chained and locked . And when you meet Dexter , let us know how that goes .. :) |

Lots of white oaks but not much Mast Crop to be seen from what I could tell... Not sure if they just didn't drop much this year or dropped really early but I didn't see any good sign around those trees. Either way I am pretty excited about staying up there this weekend... should be a fun time with my dad in the woods. :cheers: |
Lots of people during the rut! That was the last public land i have hunted and it was 2 years or so ago. Trailered a canoe on the four wheeler for 2 miles down the four wheeler trail, then paddled across a lake, dropped my cousin off, walked 500 yards and got in my stand. 10 minutes later someone sets up 75 yards from me and at 8:00 a big buck busted him and ran past me at 15 yards on the trail i was hunting. Im pretty sure there was a good chance i would have gotten that buck had it not been for that other guy! It would have been my best buck with a bow.
Keep everything locked up and park your truck on your four wheeler ramp! I wont be hunting public land much. |
