It's actually BLM land that runs along the south bank of the Canadian River. I'm a little bit jealous as I applied for this hunt too, it should be a good time. I don't remember now, is it either species?

My daughter also got drawn for Youth - GDE hunt 11/27-29/15. I have searched online for information about this location, but didn't find much information at all. I know there are supposed to be some good deer along the Canadian River and this is the first year this area will be hunted in a long time. Can anyone forward any information related to this site. Noted in one article that they said access was difficult due to the property being land locked. Does anyone know if the problem has been resolved?

Thanks for the info. I guess I need to call the biologist myself to see what status is as far as access. We would be coming from the Brenham Area. I would hate to drive all the way there and then not be able to get to the hunting area. I would guess that there would be some really good deer on the place though. What are your thoughts. Do you have the biologist contact info.?

I spoke with the BLM Manager yesterday and he said that he was working on getting access into Cross Bar through adjacent neighbors. He said you have to go through 9 tracts to get there. He is hoping to get this accomplished. I told him hopefully so at least for the youth hunt. There will be a specific sites picked out in each compartment for camping. However, there is no camping infrastructure,(no camping canopies or anything). He said he hopes to be able to escort us in and that we would at least have our truck at the campsite. This would be a much better alternative to having to hike all the way in. He said he hoped to email everyone in the next couple weeks with info.
