I trapped in Beeville area. Take a jack rabbit call and when you see Harris' start calling because they will be down low a lot of times and when you start calling they will start jumping up on the poles so be ready. Good luck

[hank]

Hwy 59 or Hwy 359 take them out of Laredo and just head east. You will see a bunch of Harris here going all the way to the coast in Kleberg County.. I live in Laredo, Texas.
