cool place. Can be a tough hunt but they are there. Was there in the Spring on a hog hunt, the place has changed a lot since I last seen it. Not near as much brush.

Congrats PK - Don't believe the BS some of these guys are posting about Matador. They have had lots of rain in the past 2 months and the grass is tall in most areas on the ranch. We hunted opening weekend of dove season and did well with several limits. Even with all the shotgun blasting saw several deer, WT and Mulie. Jumped several quail coveys and heard many others calling early and late.
One word of caution - Rattlesnakes are plentiful - be careful and good luck!

There are no deer at Matador. Nothing but hoot owls and polecats.

Heard the hoot owls, got lucky and missed the polecats!

I just got drawn for the gun deer hunt out there. Does anyone know if they let you pick your compartments? Any tips?
Posted By: Palehorse
Re: Matador WMA - 09/21/13 01:30 PM
You will get to pick your compartment in the order that you were drawn. After you send in your payment, they will send you a permit, a map, and some info. The last four numbers of your permit number will be the order you were drawn.

First off I hope it nothing serious.
If my wife was in labor I would let her know I will see the baby when I get back
the Matador GDE is a hard draw and priorities are priorities. I think she would understand...

Idk what they are talking about?? I've seen lots of mulies out there some of which were good bucks. As far as the whitetail I only saw a few. I walked and glassed though and you know how tough it is to walk up on whitetail...

Repeat after me. There are no deer at Matador. Say that to yourself over and over. Now tell every person you know, there are no deer at Matador. Nothin but hoot owls and polecats.

I didn't know what a polecat was so I looked it up. It's a ferret! So you're saying there isn't anything out there but howls and ferrets?

Re: Matador WMA - 09/27/13 12:36 PM
polecat = skunk
Every Texan should know that.
And yes, there are no deer at Matador. I'm surprised you all wasted your time applying for this place.

If only I could do the Jedi Mind Trick.
Saw a nice Mule Deer while Quail hunting the Matador several years ago. Biggest Muley buck I've ever seen.
