bigjim that made me laugh audibly. Too funny.

My biggest problems are:
1. Dogs running wild.
2. Idiot people who should not be allowed in the woods.
3. Some really deep ravines that make retrieval tough as heck, even with a quad.
4. This year, the drought will make it tough too.

My spots are all really small, so I have to be so picky when I hunt them. There are days when the wind is wrong for both, so I just head to the good 'ole public land. Also, one is about 2 hours away, so I don't get there too much.

Dog hunters who deliberately disrupt others' hunting.

1. Other hunters shooting spikes, 3points, 4 points ect. ect. consistently. (I had one guy actually tell me that doing this actaully helped the deer herd. yeah right.)

2. Constant logging. I know after a couple years this could actually be a benifit but hunting while this is going on is a pain in the butt.[:@]

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

I'm in a new lease this year, so I have quite a few obstacles:

1) Need to pattern the deer
2) Learn where other members hunt (I have found only a few stands)
3) Lots of hogs
4) Extremely thick (mostly pine thickets)
5) Roads in poor condition = lots of walking
6) Back part of lease is a swamp (lots of deer, but mosquitoes are a killer)
