We'd be happy to have you in Texas as long as you don't come here and start voting for the same kinds of politicians that create the mess that you're looking to get away from in NY. :)

NICE shots!

Life member. The 2nd Amendment has nothing at all to do with hunting. It has everything to do with freedom and liberty. You don't have to be a gun hunter or even a hunter at all to be associated...

If you have practiced and CAN make the shot, then it's ethical. If you can't make a good shot at 100 yards, then that's too far. "Ethical" shot distance is different for every shooter. I don't...

I recently traded some sheds to a knife maker for a custom knife with antler scales. Should be getting the knife pretty soon. :)

Preference point systems give long-time unsuccessful applicants plenty of help already, don't they?

If a fella wants to have a guaranteed chance to hunt sheep by the time he's 60, then he could...

In defense of Texans..... I've lived and hunted in Texas all of my life. I never heard of the "Texas heart shot" until the internet allowed me to interact with folks from faraway lands. Everybody...

I love my Bear Carnage so much that new bows don't even tempt me right now. It's fast and quiet, and it sends arrows where I aim (if I do my job right). I guess I lean more toward the "if it ain't...

Exactly. Spot and stalk is the most fun way to hunt any animal. Thankfully, with muleys in big open country and canyons, it's also very effective. It never hurts to have some of their favorite...

LabLab is great if you can get it to grow. Crops like soybeans and clover need more rain than you are likely to get in that area though. It might take a year in Cottle County to see as much rain as...

Absolutely! And you can even do it for free........

WorkSharp is great as long as you are very careful with the tips of the blades. The sanding belts flex as the blade passes through, and they can kinda curve around the tip. You have to back off the...

Lansky is great. I tried a WorkSharp for a while. Very easy to get a shaving edge on a blade with that, but it is very easy to round off the point of the knife with it. I sold it and went back to...

More prayers for all the families that lost children and loved ones yesterday. May God bless and comfort them, as only He can.

As far as "the fix" for preventing these kinds of things, I think...

Plant wheat. It's sandy and dry there. You will be very lucky to get beans or peas to grow. Mule deer will eat corn. Cotton seed is good feed as well.

I saw that pic today myself. Good job, Dad!

There are mule deer, whitetail and lots of hogs in parts of that county. It depends on where you are, but there is potential for all of the above. The mule deer are thicker in the canyons and draws...

I've killed several mule deer with my .240 Weatherby - 100 grain Nosler Partitions and Sierra GameKings, mostly. Pretty devastating. A 120 gr. bullet through the .257 would be even more devastating...

Great buck. Congrats to the hunter.

I made love to a pile of prickly pear one time, and it wasn't good for me. :D

I was in a hurry one evening, looking for a good tree to put a stand in on a new place to hunt. I wasn't looking...

Thanks guys. Glad you enjoyed the pics. Here's one more from this past Sunday evening. Zach hunted alone on this one. Stalked in, found a spot to sit downwind of the trail, and after the buck...

Having kids will definitely change your life. Well, at least it SHOULD change your life. If you can't give up some things in your lifestyle for them, then you shouldn't have kids. There's nothing...

Wow. Every draw hunt I've been on, they always require you to bring everything you shoot back to the check station - hogs included. I grew up hunting them in the Panhandle. We ran cattle on a big...
