Just got in the blind. I'm scouting for some mature bucks and pigs. I have a few friends coming down tonight. The main hunt will start tomorrow morning. We might do some night hog hunting though. Will see. If pigs show up tonight, they are getting shot in the face....

Are you out by that WMA? I took a drive out there last week and that WMA covers a lot of acres (so it seems). Got to see the Phoenix Ranch, Cook Canyon and Doc Simpson's place - the Lazy 8. Good-looking country out that way. Too bad I'm stuck at work all wekend, but this is my last weekend before I start a M-F gig on the 14th.

Had 2-8s, a mature 10, for and a fawn. The wind swirled, and they are gone! Thought HF deer were tame ....not. I got out and headed over to a bluff that looks over a feeder I have outside the fence on the Leon. Pigs have been hitting it, so I got the 7mm ready to go. I haven't seen anything yet. Don't know if the feeder went off.
We are pretty close to the cook canyon ranch. Jay Novaceks place wad around the corner from that ranch too.

RRRUUUUFFFF? Simpson's place isn't HF I don't think....could have been JN's place, I'll ask him up here at the hospital. His kiddos are big in the show-steer/calf/bull circuits through FFA, etc... What's the deal on the WMA out there? Is it huntable? (maybe you should PM that answer back to keep these THF vultures at bay)

I'm not aware of the WMA? Is it near cook canyon? I thought I heard a doctor bought it. Not 100% on which one. You work at the hospital in eastland?

There was a coop named Colony Creek WMA. But it's no longer. It was all private property

I don't remember the name of the WMA but I'll make another run out that way. I'll run it by Doc Simpson and see what he say's. I think he buys up little tracts out there from the old-timers. He's a good guy - local surgeon here in town.
Yes, I work on the acute care floor at Eastland Memorial Hospital.

I have my friends out that own Tacpro shooting range. His wife shot the buck and he cleared the pigs with his suppressed AR on the way to the blind this am. She shot the buck with a Accuracy International 308 and made a perfect shot.
The wind was swirling again this am. Had a large broken up 8 come in, but he winded us and split.
I went to move the hog I shot last night and it was gone. Something drug it off about 40 yards from where it was. I do have pics, but can't post them till tomorrow when I have more than 3 bars of signal.
Will be back out this afternoon to look for some more things to hunt
