Canyon Hunting Advice - 12/23/20 06:43 PM
A family member recently purchased a ranch in West Texas that I now have access to hunt .. A canyon runs the length of the 1000 acres. I usually hunt the brush of North Texas, so this is a new style of hunting for me.
Do any of y'all have advice as far as how to hunt this type of terrain? Things to do or not to do? Glass the brush from up top? Walk the dry river bed? Will deer bed in the canyon or up top primarily? Also, should my hunting approach differ depending on whether I'm hunting WT or mule deer?
There are currently no feeders on the property, but a small tank where the wildlife tends to congregate.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! I got my mule deer buck for the year so I'm hoping for a WT this week.
