Went out to augustine to scout today, spent about 3hrs, sweat my but off. You were right about the high grass and the dang snakes love it. Saw seven snakes, mostly black snakes, more than i have ever seen while scouting and i do not like snakes. I was using the permanone before i got the bug tamer, you should definetly get yourself one, well worth the money, and the new design is awesome. Last year, while walking along one of the thickets down augustine, during bow season, about 1130am, i would walk a little and hit the can call ( doe in heat) and follow it up with a couple of young buck grunts (softly). Well to make a long story short, i was rounding a corner at the same time a big rack 8pt was and i dont know which of us was more surprized, i was shocked at the size, from now on ill be ready. I belive this was before muzzle loader season. Jumped three bucks in velvet before the season started on the south side of the canal, they were laying right under some acorn trees near the side of the road, i never made it back to hunt there, and i should have. Supposedly that area gets hit hard during firearm season. The lottery station has quite a few pictures of big bucks up that have been harvested during the firearms, they are there , its just so darn thick. There are two tracts at augustine that have alot of acorn tree, although i dont know if the trees will produce this year or not, havent been there two scout yet.We should get together sometime and i can show you some of the places i know. I work shift work so im off alot during the week and every other weekend.
