New to San Antonio Area, few questions - 08/26/14 06:09 PM
Good Afternoon all,
As it says in the subject, I'm a member of the Military and have recently been Stationed to Ft. Sam Houston down in San Antonio and had a few questions regarding the hunting down my way. I am originally from Maryland so I know that there will be big differences in the hunting here than what I am used to.
I was wondering what type of public land is offered around the San Antonio area? I know that there is a public land discussion thread here but again I am new to the area and am not entirely sure what area San Antonio is considered to be under.
I know that I can hunt on Camp Bullis and have had my name drawn in their White Tail Lottery. Does anyone have any experience in hunting deer/hog on Bullis and was it successful? Do you all have any advice for hunting on Bullis for those of you that hunted there in the past.
I know that you have the different deer seasons like we do in Maryland, can you only hunt with a Bow from 27Sept-31Oct or can you use a Bow during muzzleloader and firearms seasons as well?
When do the deer enter into rut down here or is it the same as the first full moon during November like it is back home in Maryland. Also do y'all have any recommendations for hunting Hog as that is something that I've always wanted to do and plan do definitely take part in that while I am down here.
I apologize for the number of questions I put in this post but as I said, I am from Maryland and I know that hunting varies widely dependent on the climate and terrain that you are currently hunting in. Thank you all in advance for any help that you may be able to offer or for directing me in the proper direction to find out this information.
