Sorry to hear about your troubles Tim.
Damn shame when it gets to point you can't enjoy what you enjoy doing anymore because of illegal activity that our govt. won't acknowledge or act upon.
I was down there a couple weeks ago and no trouble at our camp yet but it's only a matter of time. We are a little further off the river and not in a prime crossing area but did see them occasionally during Obama and with the volume crossing they will be coming through again. Sad times we are in. I'm living amongst a different invasion of people in central Tx. and it aint much better. People moving in by the thousands, covering all the farmland with houses, people dumping trash along the rural roads, trashy trailer parks popping up everywhere, taxes continue to skyrocket (for those of us who pay them) on and on.....
This is all part of "growth" city leaders love to promote but I haven't found any good in it.
Hurts my heart when I think of how I was able to grow up and how and what my kids are growing up in.
Sorry, got off topic a bit.

San Angelo isn't considered South Texas at all, but illegal traffic isn't confined to just south texas.


Some of the worst areas are north of Uvalde in the Leakey/Concan area.

Pecos country is getting bad

Touched a nerve with a funny meme? It's propaganda when it doesn't suit the reader. Your opinion matters not. I still think it's funny.

Good grief.....don’t you know DC has better fences than the border?

I haven't been to S. TX under this current administration but the whole illegal thing kinda comes with the territory if you're going to be in S. TX. It may come to a point where the risk of hunting down there is more than I want to put up with and that's a personal decision that I'll have to make....I'm not there yet but who knows. My camp stays unlocked when I'm not there, my vehicles stay unlocked when I'm not there, and I basically don't leave anything of value hanging around.

If it's locked or they think something is of value is inside, I can pretty much promise you that it will be broken into, this is not new and it has always been this way. Leave nothing of value, keep everything unlocked and you'll be spending alot less time repairing windows, doors, and locks.

No, you are dead on the money with the topic at hand sir IMHO. It all ties together and is exactly what that side loves to see because it is JOB SECURITY for them all that sit in office.
I think your issues go hand in hand right with the 'open border' policies these morons have created!

propaganda memes that are flat out lies aren't funny, especially as people die illegally crossing the border, instead of taking legal documented and most importantly safe approach

Yup....a lie is a lie....

How do you know that picture is on this side of the border? We get plenty of products from down south. On the other hand Jesus may have papers.

I really like this plan.

Sorry you must of missed the title of the thread

How do you know the picture isn't?

So you got off the lease? What about that that 200+” buck y’all let walk last season? Wasn’t worth staying for that ?

We had the same issues when I was on a lease on Old Mines Road in Webb county for 3 seasons a few years ago.

at our end of the season meeting with the LO's we were told the LO's son was going to shoot that deer next season - they had never pulled that over 13 seasons so it came out of nowhere. Along with that there were some other LO issues so it was time to move on - was a great run but being in charge of a lease (if done the right way) takes a lot of time and energy - got on a small, family only lease with my son and son in law where I can watch my grandkids hunt - life is good

Sounds like a good long run, too bad about the big deer. Good luck on the new place!

Hunted South Texas for 40 years.

Can tell lots of stories about all sorts of things.

The only thing that matters is that you and your family are enjoying it, and making memories together.

That's really all it boils down to.

Yep!

It's a different kind of traffic when you get farther north. I've spent my whole life seeing lot of traffic around Sonora / Rocksprings. They get that far north, they're generally just looking for work. The traffic right around the border and in deep South Texas is more likely to be drug runners and trouble makers.
