Me and my wife are looking to go out of state on a rifle hunt on public land next year. Would like to stay within 12 hour drive of Birmingham, not looking for anyones honey hole, just looking at a state and wma suggestion and pros and cons of experience with it. I’ve hunted Ga, Kentucky, Illinois and Arkansas in the past, just thought be a neat trip to take instead of a beach vacation for once. Thanks!

I got some friends that usually kill a really nice one every other year…they let a lot of decent ones walk tho, I’ll hollar back tomorrow but it’s either Indiana or Illinois I’ll ask on the place in specific

Please do tell more. 😁😁 That’s what I’m looking for just a name of a place that someone has experienced. Like I said in the original post, I want to center fire rifle hunt, not shotgun or muzzleload. And I’ve hunted the states that I’ve listed. I’ve never even been to Texas so that my he a dang good thing to look at.

I could be wrong, but I’m not sure he read your first sentence about wanting to go to public land. Pray a prayer of thanks that you’ve never had to live in Lago. This is my reference for Houston. If you watch Eastwood westerns you would know that means HELL! Texas is a big place and I’m sure there may be some hidden gems for public deer hunting, I’m just not convinced they are within a 12 hour drive for you.

I'm from Texas and not a fun place for public land white tail hunters. Sam Houston is a huge WMA and my parents live on the edge of it. Flat mature pines, not a lot of variety of terrain. I have no idea how to find them out there. I know some people do, but no one has told me. There is a lot criminal activity, hobo camps, meth camps, out there when I go out there. I think Arkansas, Kentucky might be better. Deer hunting in Texas is the country club crowd activity. It isn't like it is here. I'll put it this way. I lived in Texas 40 years and never deer hunted till I moved to Bama. The problem was not lack of interest on my part.
