Duke: That area is pretty busy in the fall. I haven't hunted it in several years, but remember well how crowded it can get. If I lived closer, say, Hillsboro (oops!) I'd probably be a regular out there. I used to hang out in the northwest corner close to the highway between H'boro and Lake Whitney. Never saw any sign of hogs, but ya never know. Deer are indeed to be had, but it will take some work. Lots of guys use the area for duck, squirrel, etc., and also to fish the upper creek area (which was loaded with tree rats). I used a slug gun--read the requirements of the public hunting area guide CLOSELY before going out with a muzzleloader. Same for tree stands. Not sure you can legally place anything out.
Hope this doesn't discourage you. It really is a nice place.
