    Anyone worried about the "meat shortage"?

    Just noticing on the news about a meat shortage. Anyone worried about that? :rofl: I'm finally getting some of the venison out of the freezers. So long as I have ammo and marauding hogs, I ain't real worried.

    Has anyone had success smoking elk ribs?

    I tried it with venison once. Turned out REAL tough. I do good with pork, so figured it was the leanness of the meat. Am I doing something wrong?

    Cow elk hunt a success

    At least for me. Guy I went with, my pastor, didn't see anything. It was a 3 day hunt and I tagged this one first afternoon. I was hunting with a guide from a box blind on the H3P ranch, a large ranch of one section located NE of Dallas. Thing walked out of the woods about 30 minutes before...

    Deer Population boom?

    Has anyone else in south central Texas noticed a huge population boom in whitetail deer? Lots of little ones, suspecting there was a good breeding season, maybe the rain we've been having. I've seen no census counts or anything, just going off living out here with 'em and seeing 'em everywhere...

    Snakes and hogs are moving

    Big pack of pig, probably 40 or 50 of 'em, living down the road about a quarter mile in the creek bottom where our private road crosses the creek. I'm going to have to put my 6.5" .357 Blackhawk in the truck again. Probably coulda got a shot at 'em yesterday coming home from church. I went...

    Man, I've gotta get in shape, now!

    Pastor James (my church's pastor and a hunter) called me this morning. He wanted to know if I wanted to go on a Texas elk hunt. My answer was "Is the Pope Catholic?" You may recall we went to Uvalde on a deer cull hunt this past season. I ended up with 6 deer in my freezer. :D Well, he...

    A hunt that sounded somewhat fun

    Buddies from Waco are going to Arizona to hunt 150,000 acres for vermin like fox, coyote, etc and stink pigs (javelina). Well, I really ain't excited about stink pigs, got one on the wall, that bucket list has been filled. It don't sound like it's fun enough to drive that far, and I'm not...

    Stopping a Nilgai

    So, my preacher wants to leave this week on a Nilgai hunt. His .300 Win Mag needs sighting in, but there's no time. He wants to borrow my 7 mag. It's all ready and I have about 13 rounds of Federal Premium 160 Nosler Partition for it. He says the ranch manager where he's going says a 7 won't...

    I'm thinkin' I might want one of these

    https://americanguncraft.com/product/diablo-break-open-12-gauge-pistol-black-grips/ Wow, if I could seal the charge from atmospheric moisture like I can my cap and ball with clear nail polish, might make a decent truck gun defender. Think of the possibilities, buck and ball loads and such...

    MLD permit hunt

    We hunted 2 days 3 miles outside Uvalde in a high fenced 600 acres. Now, I'd never heard of MLD (managed lands deer) permits. Seems, high fenced ranches can apply and the biologists will check out the ranch and issue doe and spike and whatever permits as needed. Doesn't even cost you a tag...

    How could this possibly be legal?

    Did they just tell BATFE "oh, no, it's not a butt stock, it's an "arm brace". https://www.full30.com/video/ddd49e308687ad82cceef13084a282b8

    Texas Elk Hunting

    My pastor told me about a ranch in the Davis mountains where he went and shot a small elk. He said they charge a straight 1200 bucks. He didn't say, but I assume it's a large high fence ranch. Ranches out there tend to be best measured in square miles rather than acres....or "sections". I...

    Bow season opened this morning

    I wasn't even thinkin' about it all day, then went to take my pills last night and noticed it was from the PM Friday pill compartment, checked the calendar on my phone, sure 'nuf. So, I set the alarm, got up early enough for a shower, and put on my leafy wear camo and headed out back. VERY...

    New Bear Archery Kronicle crossbow

    I picked one up today at Walmart. I went there to check out a 200 dollar Barnett and came home with a 300 dollar Bear. But, it's faster and a better bow with a telescopic sight, not that 3 dot scope that's the same as my older recurve. Claimed velocity is 370 FPS on this one vs 230 claimed (200...

    Anybody tried one of these?

    I think I want a couple in 12 gauge for an old Sarasqueta SxS I bought in 1971 which is a little beat up, but solid and shoots fine. I bought that gun in 1971, but have other guns for hunting now. Heck, this would be cheaper than buying a dedicated SxS black powder double. :D Of course, I...

    Upon butchering that pig

    I shot a near 200 lb boar Monday night and butchered him yesterday. Of course, when you butcher, you get to observe wounding where you can't see any other way. I shot him with my "pig gun", now has 5 pigs to its credit. The shot was about 30 yards. The gun is a 20" sporterized SKS shooting...

    Think I'm going cow hunting

    We've had cows out from time to time roaming the woods. Found out who belonged to 3 of 'em, he had 'em captured and taken to auction. He no longer runs cows where I think THESE might be out from. The old man that owns the place can't get around, leases the rights on his place to get tKEEhe ag...

    My Hog Rifle

    Just wanted to show off my hog rifle. I've had the rifle, a Norinco SKS, since the early 90s. I gave 75 bucks for the gun, gave just as much for the Choate camo stock which I like, increases length of pull. The Norincos seemed to be set up for a 9 year old boy. I got the case deflector that...
