Just another option, my son and I started hunting corp flood land (WMA) late last season at the recommendation of a freind, most of the land you have to access by boat but we have seen more quality buck this year and it is not uncommon to see 20 plus deer a day. You can find more information by looking up hunting Water Managment Areas on the TWRA site. Down side is you have to make sure you are on WMA land and not private property.
One area we hunted this Bow season, the land owner was feeding his cattle and saw me walking, he made a beeline to me and I thought this is not going to be good, at first it wasn't, but after talking a little he wound up giving me a written permission to hunt his 300 plus acres.
I think most land owners, not all, are OK with hunters as long as you respect their land and don't act like it is your right to hunt their property. I have had unequivical NO's asking permission to hunt their property until I asked "how about bow hunt only", and then got a OK. Some people have issues with guns and in their mind visualize bullets bouncing off their barns. One land owner we hunted years ago didn't want us hunting with guns because he didn't think it was fair to the deer......
Good luck,
Ray
