Agreed tell them to KMA and head north! I've not hunted Texas but I have Washington, Oregon, Wisconsin, Ohio, northern California and of course Alaska. Just because your in a new state doesn't mean you will bypass the crowds. It has been my experience that if folks are willing to share it and it's public land it will be crowded.
Have you explored the northern parts of Michigan much? With a little work you can get the privacy you want and see tons of game. Tracy and I saw one other truck on our drive back to our spot. We parked the truck and walked about half an hour to our post, there we saw one other hunter, a black bear! Had I been using my own bow I could have easily harvested a deer each day we were out.
If BIG bucks are more what you want take a look at the UP.....no not the spots everyone and there brother hunts, actually walk up one of those big hills or cross a cedar swamp, you'll find them if your willing to work at it. One of my favorite hunting spots in the world is near Iron mountain. It's between two branches of a river and you have to wade the river to get to it. Wimp out and stay on the easy side....your hunting 3 deer with 40 other guys. Get wet and it's white tail hunters nirvana!
Same goes for road access Alaska, hunt the popular spots and your in a crowd, hike up the mountain or go somewhere everyone else passes up because it's a tough haul and you will be alone with all the older more experienced animals.
Every year I run into a tourist hunting or fishing up here who is bitterly disappointed with there Alaskan hunt or fishing trip. "How far from the road did you go?" is always my first question invariably their answer is less than 300 yards. If everyone and there brother was trying to kill and eat you would you be within 300 yards of there main access point?
