Texas Public Land Hunting & Beyond   Part 1 This is going to be a four part series of podcast starting with just Trever and Myself on this first episode, explaining how we find places to hunt and what we hunt.  Part 2 will be an interview with a member of Texas Parks and Wildlife, on public hunting, big game draws, & postcard hunts. In Part 3 we will be having On X Maps on to explain how using a online public private mapping can help you be a more productive hunter.  Part 4 is the Beyond we are trying to get a guest on to talk about out of state hunting both out west and draws and tags both over the counter and points, because neither of us is experienced in hunting much outside of Texas   Texas is more than 95% private land, Lease prices go up every year and are becoming harder to find, but we all own a large amount land in Texas, it is our public land.  I didn’t always know about public land hunting and didn’t know it was even an option for hunting. So i will humbly ask this of us all who use public land be it a for hunting, fishing, camping or just enjoying the outdoors, leave it better than you found it, even the simple act of picking of trash in the parking area, just do a little to help ensure we get to enjoy these lands for a long time to come.  If you enjoy Hunting and Fishing, consider joining Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, they help us make sure that we will continue to have a place to hunt and fish, on top of the fact they it’s just a bunch of like minded people who are good folks. www.backcountryhunters.org/   All that being said…………..   This Podcast series is going to piss some people off, and I understand and get that but the public land we hunt and fish on doesn’t just belong to you and I, it belongs to all of us, and all of us means exactly that all of us.  It belongs to every American citizen, and our public land able to be used by anyone who wishes to to use it. So that means the hikers, campers, bird watchers, trail runner, hunters, fishermen, EVERYONE, so we need to be the best stewards of this land, and make sure we take the best care of it as hunters and fishermen, be courteous and polite to the other users of this land we all have the right to use this land but we need to show the non-consumptive users we are the best conservationist’s and use this land as we have the right to, and encourage others to use this land and to leave it better than they found it everytime they use it.

Tips and Tricks for Hunting Public Lands   GIS Maps http://www.glo.texas.gov/land/land-management/gis/   Google Earth https://www.google.com/earth/ This is no secret, but google maps and google earth are different, and the 3d terrain mapping feature, the timeline feature allows you to see what how the area looks at different times of the year and after weather events, use in conjunction with www.wundergrounds.com ‘s weather archive of past weather and the times the satellite photos were taken.   Paper Topo Maps: USGS Maps, Natl. Forrest Maps, State Park Maps, COE. Shows all the road systems, legal hunting area, and sometimes its just Easier to get you head around paper maps and you can write notes, etc.   On X Maps https://www.onxmaps.com/ Public/Private mapping will be on part 3 of the series Shows property lines, and owners of private Offline mode download your maps and use in airplane mode On X Maps takes all of the above and combines it into one simple easy to use product that works on computers and your phone   Keeping Good Notes I used not to be great at this, but now I am almost a slave to this process and I find it amazingly helpful. I keep notes on location, game seen, harvested, trails, weather (including before and after the hunt).moon phase, who I was with where we parked How we accessed the property, anything that just stood out from the hunt. I also will keep notes on anything I see in just my day to day life about deer movement or bird migration, or even I just happened to notice an uptick on doves sitting on power lines a few weeks before season.   Scouting pre and post season The most useful thing for hunting public, grab a fishing pole or camera and get your boots on the ground.   Find deer beds, trails, feeding areas.Find where the birds are on the reverse migrations, odds are they will be in the same spot on the trip south.   Scouting is a year long activity, if your spring turkey hunting, you should also be looking for sheds or other deer sign, and making notes in your hunting/scouting log as soon as you can to make sure when whatever season it is that sign you found you can remember where it was.   Time to Hunt Arrive Early, Extra early for WMA’s that have a drawing to get a unit.   Remember when hunting public your hunting against other people as well as the game, you need to think of how they will act, and the affects that could have on the game you are chasing that day. Don’t be married to “your spot”  have a backup plan or 3 in the bag and Ready to go, stay light so you can hunt on the more run-n-gun style. Use GPS tracks, avoid flagging tape if at all possible not only is it technically littering, but it also leads everyone else to the spot your found. Hunt during the week if you can to avoid the crowds *the exception to this if you can use the crowds to your advantage. Silence your gear as best you can, practice your shooting in the gear your gonna be hunting in.   TYPES OF PUBLIC HUNTING LAND:   Public Land Hunting that only takes your Hunting license. Natl.
