When asked about how to hunt trophy bucks, the 'Blond Bomber' as he was known by at work explained, "There are three ways to hunt them and one factor you can't control in the deer brush country." "One tried-and-true South Texas tactic is hunting from an enclosed blind. Any hunter using one is smart since they are a huge safety factor that lets a body know where everyone is." "Yes," Kocheran went on, "you can stick your box blind on the ground. But I think it's best for overall game visibility to be elevated by raising it up on the sturdy 10-foot to 15-foot stilts." |
"Others out on trophy whitetail hunts hoping to gun a whopper use still hunting. I've found that works best when Mother Nature dishes up bad weather. Rain makes the ground softer. Hides your scent. Makes it easier to sneak up on 'em. Just pack any weather gear you got so you can go that route if the situation presents itself."
"Then I'm sure you've heard of horn rattlin'?," he asked. "During the 'heat' of the rut, if you do it right rattling can can call in doe-running bucks like crazy. You know the ones trying to maintain their hard won territorial rights?"
"Finally like I said there was something we can't control about white-tail hunting in South Texas. That would be the weather. Which produces feast or famine conditions."
"Some years," he paused to take a drag on his cigarette, "when there is plenty of rain, 140+ class bucks are falling over each other. Because there is more than enough for all to eat. Other years they're as scarce as hens teeth."
"Anyway I'm not a weather man. I operate a lift. But those are some ideas on how to hunt South Texas trophy whitetail bucks successfuly."
