I can't say at the times I've been through there.
Back towards Athens, there's several big game
ranches and elk ranches and the former governor's
place, and his late son's place further toward
Montalba. And back on the opposite side of
the highway is the hf trophy ranch where that guy
that makes all those videos of his massive whitetail
archery kills. Almost the whole stretch of the
highway from Henderson cty to the other side of
Anderson has gone all high fence. Lots of massive
antlers for those so inclined and have the bank account
to play the game. Way way way out of my price range.
Sincerely happy for those that can

At least Montalba has the Dollar General.
About all I can afford in that area.
Used to have an affordable bbq sandwich joint.
Haven't stopped at the new Bradford cafe.
The old burnt down place was ok

Ain't got much to say. Last time I traveled that country was the fall of '69 going to school at "Hig-Jig". Do you remember "Henderson County Junior College"?

Waylon Jennings and Jessie Colter had bought themselves a secluded spot somewhere east of Blackfoot.
Knew some folks that had land between Montalba and Bois D'Arc back east of Hwy 19 that left me hunt a time or two. Never saw a hair.
Growing up in Palestine (1950's, 1960's), if anybody said they deer hunted in Anderson county, you laughed at them.
Derr were about as scarce as hen's teeth! LOL!
We had a lease over in Leon county.
When they built the Coffield prison up near Tennessee Colony, TDC was still growing all their own veggies. Huge crops to feed the entire prison system and the deer followed.
By 1980, I moved out of the area. Haven't been back since....except to visit. 😃
