I am completely new to public hunting. How do the lots work? I was under the assumption that i could only go to the walk in area. Is this accurate or how do you get access to the numbered lot areas? Any help is appreciated.
Spanman57, to access twin buttes, there are several gates that are listed on the TPWD map, you can drive through those when open, sometimes they are closed due to heavy rains making the roads vulnerable to rut cutting trucks. You can drive along the mapped ranch roads, but if the water is high, the only ones available may be the fence line roads.
You do not need to check in with anybody or show your permit, you just walk on as if it were your own land, with the exception of not driving anywhere but the roads, and set up shop where you like. Units 1-6, and 8-10 are open to hunting, so you can go in all of them. If you don't know it there, you can walk the fences til you see a likely deer crossing spot, and then follow the trail into the wma 50-100 yards, set up/brush in your pop up, sit near your tree, or otherwise conceal yourself well, and wait. People say not to spot and stalk or come in and out of your setup until the midday lulls (after morning sit, before evening sit), as otherwise you can be walking through other people's setups and ruin their hunt. For this reason, the farther you go into the area from the entrance gates, the better.
There are 4 sites that are walk in, that means you gotta park outside and walk in, 5 is shotgun and bow, 8,9, and 10 are archery only. 1,2,3,4, and 6 are all semi driveable with a high clearance vehicle.
