6 days until bow season!
Here are a few things you need to do now, before you need us:
1) Get to know your neighbors. It is a felony trespass to cross property lines without permission in Texas, even to find wounded game. Meet your neighbors, swap numbers, and discuss whether or not they’re cool with the possibility of needing to cross the fence to find your deer. Even better, go ahead and get it in writing. A text message, or a quick signed note in your pickup confirming permission is ideal.
2) Find a local tracker or two and make contact with them before you ever need them. Visit with them about procedures and precautions just in case.
3) Grab a pack of clothes pins and surveyors tape. Tie a little strand of that orange tape in the hinge of that pin (10-15 of them), put them in a baggie, and toss that in your pack. Mark your known blood trail even if you don’t think you need to. Ideally you find your deer and can go pick them back up. But if you have to call us we have a plainly marked known line. A stick stuck in the ground after dark does not stand out as easily as you might think.
