After watching this video I got those cleats and did a similar install. I’ll be doing a video soon and will show yours as the inspiration.

Congrats

Thanks for publishing this man. I’m from Denton and hunt PL all the time. Love it!

I have these same disc made by KingCutter for 20 years now. They have served me well. I did add 200 pounds to these disc by cutting up a small counterweight that came off a crane. I pull mine at about 9 to 10 mph in a straight line and they cut better.

I would like to get into hunting and want to start with deer hunting in Sam Houston NF. Since I have never done any hunting or outdoors before so I am a bit scared. I would like some tips on hunting Sam Houston next season. How do you access the forest? Do you park at the designated parking lots at the Lonestar Hike Trail Heads or Campsites and then walk from there to the deep woods? Can you park on the side of the any main road adjacent to forest to get into the woods or it has to be from the designated parking lots? I am worried about crossing other hunters path when they are setup in their stands/blinds and ruining their hunt. How likely is it I will stumble across other hunters like that and how should I deal with that if that happens? I am scared of angry hunters and who knows someone decides to hunt me instead. I don't feel comfortable walking to my spot early morning in the dark yet. So, I will go into the forest once sun is out. I have never hunted before so I don't want to invest into tree stands/blinds yet. I plan to start with still hunting or spot & stalk. Is that acceptable? I have been reading hunting forums and a few people mentioned seeing shady people or illegal activities in the forest and warned to be aware and stay away from that. Reading that makes me not want to try hunting. Do you thinking hunting in sam houston should be safe enough? I read in the rules that your firearms must be unloaded in the car, designated trails, campsites etc. But I am not sure if conceal carry pistol falls into that category? Texas doesn't require conceal carry permit anymore but I wonder if it will still be required for SHNF. Thanks.

Hey great video! Do you see any hogs in Sam Houston SF? Was thinking of going there to look for some… thank you!

How long have you been hunting

I just left that area last night. I haven't had any luck in those woods

Def been there a whiel

Man, that's a great buck in anyone's woods. Tuff luck on that one.

Rudy’s woodsman-ship is crazy

Junk. They don't last more than a few months.

Got to see a fair amount of deer, that I agree friend, it a good day of hunting. I am hoping to get back out at least one more trip this season . Good luck to you friend. Keep up the fun videos. Dale

Best way to check old or new scrapes, Take your pocket knife and scrape above it see how fresh it looks and feels compared to your scrape

I’ve been asking myself the same questions lately, working a portion of the Sam thoroughly and only seeing does right now.

I've watched every video and podcast yall have done, but this one ruined the channel for me.

Ha, I am so used to using OnX in a very similar fashion as you , I just grabbed my mouse to drag the map a little to the west hahha, Nicely done on this video my friend. Thanks for taking the time to share this with us all, If you are still out in the woods, good luck out there friend. Dale

Amazing video and deer. Was this in SHNF? I’ve got some questions seeking some advice if you can spare some knowledge.

Is he's shooting and old Remington 7600 (pump action rifle)!?

You got some big kahones using that camera in the rain like that lol. Congrats!

You can get liquid fertilizer/ liquid lime in Mt. Vernon, Tx. From Grasshopper fertilizer. You can get seed from East Texas Seed Co. In Tyler, Tx. I use both of them.

Great buck brother, congrats! That spike is crazy!!

Awesome morning,great deer

That’s what it is all about…getting in the woods…great story…great deer! Really interesting looking spike.

I’ve been public hunting since I was 12. I’m 46 now and deer like this one excite me just as much as a symmetrical buck. Dedication and determination on not giving up after a missed shot 👍🏽 Nice buck!

Walmart sells those dock bumperss for $9.99 each, seen them yesterday, they are white though

Hello there! I realize this is a long time after this video was posted, but do you still use this 'sheet? Has it evolved? I just bought a chunk of private land in Ontario Canada and started logging data. You've got some additional columns I'll add. Eventually once I have more data, I plan on running pivot tables. For example, show me all the times the deer entered based on direction by time of day. Also, how many sightings on I had based on month. Adding the month in a column before your dates will allow that to happen. Very cool to have data. People may think it's geeky, but data can be powerful.

Got my first TPL doe this week. Recharged and pumped up to go after a buck.

Why would you even post this? that is completely embarrassing you would even take a shot that bad having known you weren't prepared to shoot at that distance. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Hunting East Texas is tougher than one might think.. I started hunting it this year and so far, I have been close, just not bow close. Hopefully that changes this month, Today marks the 1sta day of the second season, I am looking forward to it, May be hearing out in the morning if all goes well. Have church today. and teaching Sunday School. so wont be heading out until tomorrow. A good clean miss is always better in my mind that option b,. We have all been there friend, it happens. That's always fun, I love seeing them and you got some great footage of the deer moving through. If it helps ar all, I still get excited, I have some age on you, and I always said, when I dont get excited anymore I will stop hunting, and, well, 40 years since I started, I am still getting excited. I have always used a 4 or 5 pin sight, 38 is a tough range, lots of folks wouldn't even shoot at one the far with a bow. Good luck on the rest of your season. New sub and look forward to some more East Texas Hunts, That 2 am comes early doesn't it. Good Luck, and have a blessed week my friend, Dale

Glad to see your footage man, waiting for your part 2! I got one in the Sam on 11/26!

Smoked that green lmao

Rudy who lol..legend in his own mind .😂 jk

I gotta give credit where credits due. For Penny being a "greenhorn" in the hunting woods she's definitely got it! Give her another 2 or 3 seasons of trial and errors shes gonna be at the top of her game! You guys are awesome. keep grinding and bringing us fellow TX public hunters your great content! My hats off to all 3 of you 👊

That rifle at 5:58 looks like a Remington 700ADL. I have the same rifle although I gave it to my son back in the 90's. That buck you showed is as good as it gets in East Texas. I live in Tyler County just to your east, the other side of Livingston and we see deer like that sometimes.

I'd be crying too lol. It's called "huntin". Suck it up and move on to the next hunt. You got your whole life in front of you. I'm 78 and killed my first deer in 1957. Hunted most of my life here in Tyler County and grew up dog huntin, but hunt on my son's place outside Mason now. Not really huntin, but it's fun and plenty of deer. Talkin about not getting it right and screwing everything up, well that could be a lack of focus on what's important. If Christ is not your focus, then life is hard, but when Christ is first, then this stuff comes easy and is more enjoyable. I too have learned this the hard way. Hate to see you make that mistake because it seems you put too much importance on hunting. God bless.

Access..... learn to walk with toes first hitting ground. Not heel to toe, walk toe to heel. Try it and listen to the difference, makes similar sound as a deer walking.

Congratulations

Got my first doe on public land this weekend in east texas . The buck just never gave me a clear shot . Love this public land hunting .

Heck yeah,good job guys! I'm in mauriceville by orange on a lease. Would love to try public!

I just got one out of there as well. I gotta go across the street into walker county now. Can't wait

That's true passion there! Great job brother!

Deer keep getting the slip on me. They are always just one step ahead always. I have been hunting this buck all season. Today was the real day I actually got in his bedroom. I blew it. The pressure is inching in closer. I feel I may have missed my opportunity today. Going to wait on this cold front to come in and give it a week of rest. Hopefully Friday he slips. If I don’t connect. I am going to have to look for greener pastures. Before I blow the spot.

❤❤❤

Well done! Congratulations!

I’m creep around a little bit more might be able to put eyes on a buck

Got in the car ready go the second I get a chance

3 year hunting TX public First year hunting Sam got one sit in so far. Can’t wait to start seeing some deer here and accomplish my public land buck goal.

Awesome deer man!

Was that this year and if you don't mind me asking, where
