i dont hunt The Big thicket national on a regular basis but i have hunted it as a group hunt before (3of us) and we had a blast. Tons of hogs and saw some nice deer as well. We didnt fill like fighting the public land hunters during deer season so we just went during the off season for hogs and squirel. The hogs are tearing everything up runeing the forest they are paying ppl to get them off. Or at least they were mid last year. We just went down and got our bows broke back in and cut more arrows. this weekend we will hit the lease like mad men and slay all in the path =) i need some meat in the fridge.
