Anyone ever hunt turkey in these areas?

I have not but I hear there are alot in that area. It would be worth a shot imo.

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 01/20/09 03:07 AM

Well I that is pretty close for me and of course it is cheaper. I think I will give it a shot in the spring. I will let everyone know

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 01/20/09 03:35 AM

I live bout 15 min south of the grasslands. i have seen a lot of turkeys in there while deer hunting, but everytime ive turkey hunted in the spring...no luck. I have heard them gobble everytime though. They are there, but you gotta catch em at the right time, and be in the right place. Which gate are you plannin on hunting?

I went last year twice and saw about 10-15, but I saw them while driving or right after I put the gun up in the truck. I'll be back this spring.

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 01/20/09 05:19 PM

I do not know anything about the area actually. I plan to head up that way in a couple weeks and see what I have to do and scout some. Do I just need a Hunting License and Public land permit?

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 01/20/09 05:21 PM

I am most interested in Caddo but for me either area is fine.

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 01/20/09 06:27 PM

All you need is your hunting license and o stop by the main office to get get a permit.

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 01/20/09 07:11 PM

I have never hunted LBJ but Caddo many times. I honestly have never seen turkey at Caddo. Im gonna try to get a turkey at LBJ this spring though.

I hunted around Coffee Mill Lake for several years before I started paying for a private lease. That place was awesome.

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 01/22/09 06:27 AM

Caddo Nat'l grasslands is in Fannin Co., LBJ is around Decatur. Don't know a lot about either, but I have a friend that hunts Caddo, has killed some very nice birds. This guy knows his stuff though, he tells me that you have to get back in the woods deep away from activity from other hunters. These turkey's are eastern and are much harder to hunt than the rio's. I hunted in Oklahoma last year for eastern's and felt like a newbee, lot harder to convence. Remember if you hunt this land you need to purchase a type two licence and if you are sucessful you have to go to a check station with your bird.

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 01/24/09 07:12 AM

At LBJ get a map of the grasslands and concentrate as close to montague as you can. The Northern parts of LBJ seem to produce the numbers, but get used to idiots on horseback as they have trails all through there. Ive had em ride right through a set up and look at me like Im nuts. Ive also had good luck just outside of Alvord close to Ball Knob Hill. Hit em early and get serious as they get call shy quick with all the wanta be knight and hales trompin around throwin everything but the kitchen sink at em. Dont beleive every gobble you hear either, i had a turkey gobblin at me but hung up. I stalked closer and closer to him and it ended up being a dude leaned against a tree with a gobble call that you shake. He never saw me.Skinner

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 02/26/09 04:31 PM

Well I got up in LBJ on Monday and had a great day getting familiar with the area. Planning on heading up again and do some calling prior to the season. The folks at the headquarters were very nice and helpful. Saw alot of deer sign especially around that windmill near Ball Knob hill. I really loved the area. I have not hunting in a few years since my Dad died but it was great to be in the woods again and see how much he had taught me came back to my mind. I am anxious to share the experience with my sons (22 & 18. I will keep you all posted. Thanks for the help and advice.

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 02/26/09 06:54 PM

I've heard of quite a few people going to LBJ to take turkey. I've got a buddy who also has land near there in Decatur, and they get birds all the time. I've never been personally, just thought I'd let you know what I've heard, hope it helps! Over duck season on Lake Ray Roberts I heard quite a few turkey every morning by one of my favorite spots... I need to check my book and see if that area is open to turkey hunting. hmmmmmm

Posted By: patoselsupremo

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 03/10/09 02:22 AM

This is all I am going to say as I have hunted both with limited success: DO NOT USE A GOBBLE CALL UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, at the least you will bring other hunters to you regardless of how deep in to the woods you go and surely I don't need to point out the danger of getting shot, especially if using decoys.

It will be crowded on weekends, however there are decent populations on both. You will be hunting Rio's on LBJ and Easterns on Caddo.

Posted By: Ed Lingenfelter

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 03/11/09 05:02 PM

Thanks for the advice. We are looking forward to giving the area a try. Fortunately we live close enough that making a couple of trip during the season will be possible. We are going to scout again next weekend and I have weekdays off so I can possibly miss the crowd after the first weekend.

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 03/13/09 04:24 AM

I'v hunted the grasslands, and all you need is your hunting licens. There are a lot of turkey up there so do your scouting and get there early. good luck

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 03/13/09 04:45 AM

When I hunted there I had to have a permit. I'm glad I did, I watched a dude get a ticket for not having it.

Yah the deer tracks give you the idea that the place is crawling with deer. That tank at Ball Knob used to stay full of water. If your standing at the water tank and you turn toward the two hills, thats a good place to find arrow heads. Another good place to key in on is the safety zone close to Black Creek Lake. There is LBJ land around its borders and the turkeys like the piney areas in there. Last bit of info, once you see your bird coming, asuming you have a decoy and he sees it, hang it up. The more he gobbles, the more attention he will atract from desperate hunters. Target shooting will cost you $150 if you get caught, so sight in before you go. Dont ask me how i found that out.

I was up in LBJ on Monday mid Morning. Covered alot of ground. I did see one Tom close to the big lake. Lots of horse traffic. A couple of riders scared him up and when he took off I thought they were going to die. Headed back up to check out a couple more areas. When back in Ball Knob hill area. I think there maybe some hogs in there. Found and area where it looked like they were rooting around. I keep my gun in the trunk except for the one I carry all the time. Good hunting folks

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 03/23/09 06:23 PM

Went up to scout on Sunday. We were all over unit 31, I believe (can't remember, but it's the largest area on the map). Saw two doe, a coyote, a roadrunner, a cotton tail bunny, and heard at least one gobbler, maybe two, but didn't see any turkey. Lots of feral pig tracks (along with coyote, deer, and raccoons) near all the water holes we found, but now turkey tracks. Can't seem to figure out where the turkeys are, but it was a good day for a walk about.

I was there on Saturday and saw more people than animals. They were having a crosscountry race right through the areas I was scouting. Did see some sign in a couple areas? Looking forward to two weeks. Hope the race is over

Ive never been there. I ve only been in Texas for a year of so. I have researched the Bois D' Arc unit and Ladonia unit but I didn't know anything about the LBJ thing. I plan to go though. Where can I get more info on it? How many acres is it?

The best thing to do is order a map I like the area. We are heading up Saturday to scout again with my son. Expect to be there when the season opens.

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 03/30/09 03:34 PM

Well I think the youth hunt went well for a couple of folks in LBJ on Saturday. We went to scout and the truck parked beside us had two young Toms in the back. Last we saw a Dad and son across the field from us and we saw another team in their blind. It was great to see a Dad and son out in the woods together. Too many Dads never spend anytime with their Dad. No better place to spend time with your kid than on a hunt even if the kid is 22 like mine is. Way to go DADS

Posted By: MidlothianFisherDad

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 03/30/09 10:09 PM

Thanks for the report, Ed. I think sometimes, perhaps understandably, there are too many folks who don't want to share ANY information with other hunters. I understand someone wanting to protect "his" spot, but it's public land. There's no such thing as "my spot" out there.

Posted By: Lga043

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 04/01/09 06:13 AM

I used to hunt LBJ a lot, there was quiet a few turkeys, and not many hunters, this was back in the 80's. Now there is a lot of people, and if you are calling, be careful because I have called in several hunters. A friend of mine was calling with a decoy out in front of him, this was about 5 years ago, and he decided to let out a gobble, and got shot in the back. He went to the hospital in Decature and they picked shot out of his back, arms, and hand. I am not trying to scare you away from hunting, I just want you to know what it is like over there. And no you do not need a permit for LBJ by Decature, but you do need one for Caddo.

Posted By: Ed Lingenfelter

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 04/01/09 03:28 PM

Thanks alot. A couple of things we have figured. 1 probably need alot of orange walking in. 2. Know the surroundings. 3. Do not Gobble. 4. Make sure your up against a really big tree. I have seen a little combat so maybe this will be nicer. So if any of you are up on LBJ look before you shoot. Make sure you know what the heck your shooting at. Just because it is short and fat does not mean it is a turkey. It could be me

No dice on Ray Bob. I ran into a group of 20+ after a skunk one morning. Glad I didn't cap one, I was unsure of whether or not you could take them on Ray Bob. I sure did want to though . Turkeys are pretty dumb during the fall season.

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 04/06/09 04:55 PM

Well it was pretty windy but my son and I had a great time. It was not over crowded with hunters. Everyone we spoke to in camp was having the same luck. We got alot of responses to calls on Friday night, but once season started the wind picked up and it was very difficult to here the birds or I expect the birds to here us. We had a great time on our first hunt together. We plan on heading up there a few more times. We have a pretty good idea where some birds are and we are going to keep learning and working. I guess that is why they call it hunting.

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 04/07/09 12:42 AM

hunting is going to be even harder now that they are burning 10k acres of the grasslands, even the camp sights have been burned. just a heads up if your planning on going there turkey hunting. they just started this last monday and there were still fence posts burning on the side of the road right outside of coffee mill saturday.

I went last week, it was my 5th trip of the season, and I finally heard a gobbler, he was on private land and I tried to call him across the road, but another hunter saw him and stopped to watch him, needless to say, he didn't cross the road!!!

We have been out several times in a few areas and just cannot get the birds to come in. We have another day we can go before the season ends. Going to Indiana this week and see what I can do up there. Probably will just call some on our farm up there. License is very expensive there $120.00 for one tag.

Posted By: Ed Lingenfelter

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 01/14/10 03:03 PM

it is based on where you are hunting. When you get your Annual public hunting permit you will also get a rather large booklet that has maps of almost all of the public land in Texas. There you will see what you can hunt, what you can use, where you can camp etc. Also I would check with the specific area.

I was deer hunting at LBJ the last week of December and saw a ton of turkey tracks in the snow. Can't wait to get back out there and scout out the area again. It was about 1 1/2 miles into the unit in a heavily wood area. Seems pretty promising.

Posted By: Anonymous

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 01/30/10 04:35 AM

easy guys! all those birds you are seeing will be gone in a few weeks! they are winter flocks that are drawn to the cattle farms near the church. once the flocks break up and the spring bugs come out? FORGET IT! I have been hunting the LBJ grasslands for 10 years and have killed 1 jake!!!! The birds are conditioned to leave public land and head for LOW PRESSURE private lands that surround the grasslands..... not to mention the fact that there are dozens of idiots up there every weekend starting in February scratching and calling on every single type of turkey call you can think of so by the time opening day comes the Toms will not respond to your calls no matter what you do!Oh and just so you know? there will probably be around 150-200 hunters scrambling to find birds on every single sections of the LBJ come opening day! so have fun out there where your hunters orange and be safe!

I went once off season and saw a flock of about 80, so I went back during season, set up and called. I got a lot of gobbles some very close, from about 5 different directions. I sat and called for probably an hour and none came in.

Re: Caddo/LBJ National Grassland - 03/27/15 12:34 AM

I was at LBJ this morning between Parcel 1 & 3 and saw a big tom and about 10 hens off the road. As usual it was on private land. I have never been up to these two parcels so I checked them out for a minute. I did not see any turkey tracks on either parcel, but I did see deer tracks on 1, and I guess parcel 3 is where they let you target shoot because there was about a thousand empty shotgun shells out there.

I know most people on here don't want to share where the turkey are at on these public lands since you should put in your own time, but I'm open to hearing about where you didn't find turkey on LBJ.

I heard turkey out there while deer hunting last fall. I may get up there this spring to see if they are still hanging out in that area.

Completely off top question that has to do with the Caddo Grasslands.

Does anybody know how far Pintail Farms is from them?

I'm guessing the land that Pintail Farms hunts is a couple miles from the Grasslands then. Just wondering how the public waterfowl hunting would be on the Grasslands. Haven't made it that far up north for a public hunt before.

It sux.Both lakes there are roost lakes. Every duck Flys off 15min before shooting hrs. No feed for them there. They don't return until dark and you can't hunt past noon. If you don't believe me go take a trip up there. Waste of time. If you have $6k you can hunt pintail farms every wkend
