That would be so cool if we had snow for the am hunt! It is going to be chilly willy! For us southern east texas boys in the 20's is just down right cold. Better were some layers and the head cover.

Native East Texas Redneck but now live in Texas City. Angelina is a good place to get together. Deer, hogs, bear (no season), Bigfoot, ducks, fish or whatever. Couple of flatbottoms pulling canoes can get you well off the beaten path.

Live in Port Arthur,hunt in Houston county near Crockett. Is Alazan open to hunting year round?

dragonheart · December 04, 2009, 03:21:00 PM

Alazan is closed at times. You can hunt hogs and bait them after January. TPWD has info on the area and when closed open. There is a camping area. I think it would be awesome if we could get a hunt together after Jan.

You can corn the hogs then and get them coming. I live close to the unit, so I could get out and get some area on the unit ready. The camping area is primitive, No hookups. Be nice to sit around the campfire other than the cyber one and visit with fellow tradgangers from East Texas Area.

I live right beside Alazan. The hunting has been a little slow this season. Have seen several 1 1/2 yr old bucks but ones over 13" are hard to come by. When the river bottom was flooded about a month ago the hogs were concentrated in the overgrown fields but with the receding of the water they have dispersed back into the bottom and over into the SFA land.I would love to meet and hunt with y'all !

I've been wanting to try the Alazan...I've heard good things about that place.

ChrisM · December 04, 2009, 07:46:00 PM

Nice to see there is a lot of local fellars on here.

ChrisM · December 04, 2009, 07:51:00 PM

Well lets see about setting a date for a hunt its about 3000 acres so can acommadate a few hunters. Weekends I'm open.

Stykbow62 · December 04, 2009, 08:08:00 PM

I would definitely enjoy getting together and spinning some bowhunting yarns and doing some actual hunting. Lets do it.

BDann · December 04, 2009, 08:12:00 PM

I'm in, lets do it! Maybe after Christmas sometime?

ChrisM · December 04, 2009, 08:17:00 PM

Since I'm a teacher the week after christmas is perfect. The weekend after the new year is also great. Any other suggestions.

stykshooter · December 04, 2009, 08:43:00 PM

I spend alot of time in the Cleveland area.

dragonheart · December 04, 2009, 08:44:00 PM

You cannot bait the hogs until after the last day of waterfowl season. I think that is around the end of Jan.

flatsboat · December 04, 2009, 09:42:00 PM

I'm in Longview. Have 2 buddies here who are trad. shooters.

billy shipp · December 05, 2009, 09:53:00 AM

Any you East Texas boys out there after them this morning?.....too cold for me....it was 20 degrees when I got up. Cold weather is tuff on me, now that i've reached the (gloden years)

ChrisM · December 05, 2009, 01:41:00 PM

I was got to watch a nice 9 pointer running does for about 10 min. Already have my big buck for this year so no pressure just nice watching.

dragonheart · December 05, 2009, 03:31:00 PM

I saw one doe this AM. The hogs have returned and did a number on the ground in front of the cabin. Chris, got any photos of your buck?
