2 years waiting...got the call
I just got a call from a landowner in east Tx. I've been on a waiting list for 2 years to get on his land. I'm going to look at it this weekend. I'll have about 100 acres to myself.
Our season opens in 17 days, which doesn't give me much time to scout or hang stands. If I like what I see I'll pay the man just to get my foot in the door. I can concentrate on west Tx this year and kind of hunt this place on the fly. I'll just bring a climber and see what I find. I've heard very good things about the area. It is in a 2 buck county with antler restrictions. Its not far from the place I turned down a couple of weeks ago. I can afford this place and its only about 1 1/2 hours from home. The west Tx place is 4 hours away. I'll update this post after I look at it this weekend.

Awesome, bud !!
I'm happy for you. Hope this property pays off for you.
Now, does west TX have alot of timber ? I always see TX guys hunting from blinds or tripods, over sonderos. Maybe timbered along rivers ?
I'd love to hunt in TX...Again, good luck man and I hope you have a blast, there !!

You have the occasional oak that you might get a stand in, I have one about 14-16' in a oak on a live spring..
But
East Texas, is completely different, you have tall pines and large oak's...
My family owns a ranch there and all my stands ar hang on's....
