just got some land in canton, put a feeder up, there are alot of tracks but has anybody had any luck with any good deer? i am also told that the hogs are moving in but i have no sign of them what so ever.

Always seen them around there when i was passing through back in the day . I think some one on the forum killed a nice one there this year .

We had some friends that had a place just south of canton... get ready for the poachers

Are the poachers bad in that neck of the woods???? Im looking for a lease...And last thing I want to worry about is someone takeing a big buck..That im paying to hunt..

Talk to MK he has some land out that way and he is over run.....with poachers.

Actually we're pretty sure it's just one or two.

So there's this loser that has a place about 1/4 mile off our back fence. When he was a kid, my grandfather caught him on our land and broke his gun in two right in front of him.

Said loser (tweaker) grew up and had a couple sons of his own. These sons (tweakers) picked up where daddy left off. My cousin is walking down the trail to our back stand when someone yells at him from one of our other stands that he passes by. He calls his brother who hauls arse down there. The poacher jumps out of the treestand and takes off running.

We know who they are. The problem is that they are in and out of jail all the time already, so what is three hots and a cot to them?

I've already talked to the game warden and given him the gate combination. His jurisdiction is two large counties, though.

To his credit, I have seen him driving our road. However, these losers come in from the back side thru some gnarly brush. Our roads are so muddy that the GW would get stuck if he tried to get back there.

I'm at a loss, really. We're gonna have to catch 'em in the act, maybe some strategically placed game cams....

Nice area, spotty for deer, LOTS of hogs got a place that i run the dogs on every now and then for a rancher and it is covered in hogs but it has a lot of deer too.

Definitley lots of hogs. I work with a guy that just killed 3 piglets. There were a coupl of monster bucks killed on a highway south of Canton during the rut. Game wardens picked them up and are going to have them mounted.

yeah i have had a problem with them on my pond, and couple of shots over there head ended that pretty quick. I just set a feeder up and have seen deer tracks all over the property but i cant get them to show up during the day. i heard about the ones that were hit on the road and saw pictures, was pretty excited to see deer of that quality out there.

I agree there are alot of poachers, and 2 good Game Wardens, one of the deer was killed less than a mile from the city limit sign, You may want to talk to th sheriff also, but if 3 hots and a cot does not bother them, you may just have to come up with another plan,

Some good deer but they are spotty. One of those monster bucks ya'll are referring to was actually ran over north of Edgewood. Covered up with hogs though.

Live in eastern VZ county on the river, have lots of hogs, few deer and good number of road hunters.

I grew up south of Canton on hwy 19 and the hogs are taking over. I have been going there every chance I get to kill hogs. Deer are still there, but like Driller said there real spotty.

Just curious, do they abandon their vehicle to poach on your land? Just wondering. Do you know where they park it? Are there rattle snakes on your property?

no rattle snakes but lots of copper heads, they were parking down the road by a cemetary

What part of Van Zandt County are you hunting. I have a place just SW of Canton around FM47 & FM90 that I see a good number of deer on. Like Driller said though, the good bucks are spotty.I have lived there for 3 yrs now and just saw the first signs of hogs on it yesterday.

i live off 64 by the computer farm i havent seen any hogs but i have deer tracks everywhere

i have seen deer in van zant county on several occasions, but not any hogs. good luck with the poachers, there were some on a lease that i was on last year, and there was nothing that could be done about it, because there it was the locals, and they knew the woods better than you/we ever could.

all i keep hearing about the hogs is that there coming, which im sure they are, but ak is ready for them

Kauffman county over by Kemp is full of them.

you'd think a mountain lion would get those cheatin *&^@ards! just for karma.

speaking of mountain loins i had a guy down the road tell me he saw a mountain loin on his property about a year back, has anybody heard of anymore sightings out there?
