Anyone hunt southeast of hamilton? How is the hunting? We just got a new lease there and it looks promising just wanted to see if anyone had some input in this area?

We used to hunt in Evant. The hunting was great..Alot of deer and turkeys! Good luck!

used to hunt near Pottsville and Indian Gap areas.10 yrs lots of wildlife but lots of road hunting and deer not above the 130's. good luck

I dont have a map in front of me so I cant tell you which direction south of Hamilton we were, but I can tell you that we were just south of the Hamilton line in Lampassas County (Adamsville area).

We hunted there for 2 years and the hunting was great! Everyone saw deer every time we went out, and there were some very nice deer seen and taken on our place. It was one of the few places that I have hunted that I did not see the same deer over and over again. You just never could tell what might step out next. This area has great genetics, all the deer need is some age, which now that TPW has a restrictive antler program in place this should give the deer more time to put on some years.

We saw just as many 9 and 10 points as we did smaller 8 points and I even saw two 11 ponits on this place. Another guy shot a nice 13 point that I had been watching since late summer but opening morning he showed up at the wrong stand and I never got my chance at him.

Never saw many turkey and never saw a hog!

Probably the worst thing in that area is there are a lot of smaller properties. Lots of deer with not big #s of mature deer. You probably also have lots of hogs if there is much water. Turkey is usually great in that area.

My cousin owns a place on the Leon River on the Hamilton/Coryell county lines. There are some good deer there but the hogs are really bad, I'm sure it's because of the river bottoms. A couple of years ago we killed 38 hogs in one day, got them bottled up in coastal field , didn't even put a dent in the population.

There are a lot of deer along the hiway that have been hit by vehicles about half way from meridian going into hamilton,southwest of hamilton seems to take a lot of deer.

thanks guys i appreciate the info. Our place has a lot of water 2 ponds and two creeks. Has plum creed runs through it off of cr3340 and cr 425. I looked for some hog sign and could not find any. But i hope we see some deer.

I bow hunt it only, could go with a rifle, but it is not a challenge. Lots of bucks on our place up to mid 130's, occasionaly 140, but with a rifle, it is not challenge at all. Poaching is a problem from time to time, but we are down there every thurs thru Sun. Lots of deer, if I was going to start with a bow, that would be the county.

I have property on cr415. so does my uncle and cousin. Lots of deer . Had a 12pt last year. There is a 14pt that is still there. See turkeys in the spring. no hogs. But lots of deer

Wow 130-140 that sounds good to me. But i do bow hunt also thanks for the good news we went to the lease and saw a deer and some turkey and a hog but not much hog sign i did not think there was any on the place but maybe moving in. Hey 10pointdoe do you hunt there or just own?

I looked up 415 and that is not far from our lease at all maybe 2 miles. My father is looking for a lease for him and his buddies so if you know of any in the same area let me know. Did yall get any good deer last year

I hunt there. Been hunting there for about 7 or 8 years. Love to deer hunt. Last year I shot 3, all the same day. My son bow hunted for the first time last year. The fella bordering my plave has about 2000 acres and he doesnt usualy lease it out but he did last 2 years. I forget his name but he is the president of the bank in Hamilton. Last year his hunters were shooting guns during bow season. If they do it this year I'm gonna call the game warden. His father in law, Mr Newman, has 900 acres across the road . The hunters there wont shoot anything unless its at least a 10 point. Not sure if they are leasing it this year. He has a lot of deer on his property. I leased mine one year but I'll never do that again.

yea i know what you mean last year we hunted in crockett,tx and all bow season it sounded like people were sighting in guns next us and ruined bow season if not all season. We had a place for 15years and our rancher sold out so my father and his buddies are looking for a place and wanted one close to us but they are few and far between. I am hoping that this place is managable for the next few years i think the only problem we are going to have is one our south west fence there is about 4 blinds within 150-200 yard area. But othere than that no hunting around us. If any of those guys have a place open let me know my father and his group of 4 are good guys to have around. Dont shoot many deer and very rarely even go but just need a place so that when they want to go they can and finiacially can help do year round feed and protien. Thanks for any info. Did your get anything one his first trip? I have been bow hunting for 6 years now and i got a 8 point under my belt and that is it. But it is exciting

he just missed a 12 point. He said he watched it for 30 minutes and when he went to shoot, his bow tapped the safety rail on the stand and made a noise and the deer took off. Those shots I was talking about wasnt people sighting in their guns....It was a single shot at 730 in the morning

Man well i bet it was exciting for him. 7:30 am and during bow season- dang it. Well hopefully it wont happen this year for ya. Better yet i hope it dont happen to me.
