There are large tracts of land in the Texas WMA public hunt program open to hunting in east Texas as well as the five national forests. There are places you can hunt and not see anyone, but east Texas has the lowest populations, 1 buck limits and no doe in many counties. I wouldn't bother, have never bothered with the national forests. I hunted some of the WMAs back in the 80s, never shot anything, only ever saw does.
Now days, I prefer my small parcels of land. I have problems health wise and simply can't walk all day or even stand up all day like I could when I was a kid in my 40s. The last 10 years I've kinda been going down hill in that regard. The docs are still checking me out. I have a blood disease, though, called "thrombocythemia" and the stuff I take to keep the platelet counts down, I feel affects my erythrocyte count. I'm a bit anemic. I take iron pills, but it's really gotten me down. I have my box blind and I kinda prefer shooting pigs to deer anyway. We have lots of both, but the pigs need killin' worse.
I'm kinda getting burned out on deer hunting. I've always been more of a waterfowler, but I can't do THAT much anymore, stomping through mud in waders is WORK! I'm going to maybe try again this coming season, use my canoe, well cut down on the walking. And, I have a dog for the birds I shoot.
Hey, don't laugh, some day YOU'LL get old. LOL!
