Hunting tips and the top hog hunting in Texas? Once you’re in a promising location, don’t give up on it just because your buck doesn’t show up on the first day. The following day’s forecast, even if only slightly different, could put that deer in your sights. Besides, the whitetail season is too short to waste time waiting for long-john weather, and you may miss a chance at a trophy buck if you do. If that creek or pond is tucked back in the woods, consider setting up right on the water source, as bucks will often grab a drink before heading out to feed in hot weather. When hunting north-slope timber, use the ridges to hide your approach.

Deer Behavior: Across much of whitetail range, November is all about the rut. Where firearm hunting begins, deer take refuge in dense or secluded cover and reduce their daytime activity. Hotspots: Go to water sources now because bucks need to consistently rehydrate when the chasing phase of the rut starts. You can also count on bucks to show up at doe bedding areas, such as low brushy places. And zero in on security cover. That means dense, distant, or overlooked spots. Once peak breeding arrives, bucks force estrous does into such cover, and when firearm season opens, this is where the big ones escape from pressure.

Larsen: Getting permission to hunt private land for whitetails is difficult, especially in the Midwest. I like looking for smaller tracts of land, often between 10 and 50 acres, that aren’t necessarily prime whitetail areas but that have the habitat needed to hold deer. I’ll search the white pages for the landowner’s name and use onXmaps’ tax address information to cross reference. WhitePages.com provides ages, and I typically look for landowners who are 65 to 70 or older. A lot of these folks don’t hunt much anymore, so unless they’re diehards or have kids or grandkids who hunt, I usually have better luck with folks in this age range. Also, send letters. In my experience, that can be more effective than a phone call.

The B4 Ranch is still operating within the original family and is full of interesting family history. This old bus is a random piece of history on this family ranch. As the story goes, in previous generations this was used as shelter to wait out the Wild West Texas storms. There was no way to escape hail storms if you were deep into the ranch on horseback. At a later date, it was used for ranch hands to camp in if they stayed out fixing fences, etc. See additional details at Texas hunting outfitters.
