1. Patterning the deer. I've yet to see any type of pattern with deer in E. TX. They show up from different places heading different directions.
2. Pine plantations. Mostly young pines with super thick briars and other scrubfilling ALL gaps between, makes it nearly impossible to bowhunt areas like this. Visibilityand access is extremly limited.
3. High population of coyotes and stray dogs.
4. One side of the lease is next to a village of meth labs. This results in numerous amounts of "wanderers" that stumble aimlessly through the lease toward who knows where.
5. The north side is close to an Indian reservation and they don't want anybody hunting on their land.
6. Overpopulation of hogs, hogs, and little hogs that grow into more hogs!
7. The heat and humidity during most of the season. Common to most of the south.
8. Zero crops other than pine trees.
9. I'm sure I'll remember more
