Sorry to hear that. Sounds horrible! I like hunting wild deer on public so that is why I would never even try to hunt down there. Every video I see they have electric feeders and a noise maker so the animals show up within 2 minutes of the feed sprinkler. And EVERYONE hunts like that. How are you gonna hunt a wild deer when every neighbor for miles feeds deer with an electronic feeder? Then you gotta get a feeder if you ever wanna see them. All the while the hog population is growing out of control. Why don't they ban baiting for a few years? The whole state is completely mismanaged. Exterminating elk while feeding invasives and "exotics" also invasive. If you pay for permission to hunt on private land in texas you drive out to a blind on a 4 wheeler 30 minutes before the feeder goes off, shoot your tame deer, and hand over $5000.
