I received a letter in the mail for the Texas Big Time hunts with the TPWD logo on it. I almost crapped my pants wondering "could it be? now way" It turned out to just be an advertisement for this coming draw hunts. Talk about rubbing salt on the wound....

I got the TPWD Big Time Hunts letter and was so excited and felt the same disappointment. It was too good to be true that I landed that one. Wish I had won that!

I wonder how much money they make off those Big Time Texas hunts since they really don't have a limit to the amount of entires you can have.

That's some good revenue.
So, being new to hunting and all this. If I want to go hunting with three buddies, do we all need to be on the same application? I can't just invite them after the fact, if I ever get a tag?

All of you have to be on the same application. Which kind of sucks because I have a friend that is new to hunting and chomping at the bit to get out there but I didn't hesitate to get all my picks in so I can't take him if I do get picked. For me it's like a kid 2 days before Xmas with no adults to tell you otherwise. I just tear into it, the only person I sign up with me is my dad. Regardless if he wants to do the hunt or not.

I considered that. Luckily I left a few to apply for.

I drew that hunt a couple of years ago. Harvested one wt spike and one axis doe. Stayed in a cabin rented on location. There were lots of axis and black bucks back then. Unless they changed the way they conduct the hunt, you will be assigned a specific location. Bring a popup blind if you can. I don't think they allow elevated stands. I would call about details including baiting. Good Luck!!!

Congrats on drawing these hunts! Never been to Granger but I have hunted Laguna Atascosa a couple of times. BE PREPARED for chigger and tick warfare!!!! My first trip there resulted in many chigger bites and a week of itching misery. Lots of animals there! Nilgia, pigs, and wtdeer. Watch out for rattlers. I recommend snake boots or chaps! Good luck!

Got a 2nd Round notice on the one PLE I put in for with 4 LP's ...not a good omen for future years worth the way my luck runs. Either I get something quick or it's a long term deal like my GDE @ 15 LP's or my EXO @ 18 LP's. Just Sayin'
