Cool, I appreciate all the advice here gents. Having not been to or from Texas I had no idea of the attitude of LO's in regard to how pigs are to their land, apparently not as bad as I had gathered over the years. This all makes sense and yeah, the unfortunate reality is that bad history with...
Another question, how receptive are landowners to opening hunting for hogs? I know they cause a helluva mess. I also considered getting some addresses of properties that look like they would be good for opportunities. (Thick nasty stuff borders up into Ag fields with some tree rows) and using...
Thanks guys. I will look into a guided deal for pricing, never done guided anything before. I also had considered the water holes as well and found a handful on the Googles that consistently have water in them. There is a creek that runs through as well with somewhat open banks. Considered...
Buddy and I were in some shit together on the other side of the world, and haven't seen each other in a while so thought we could meet up. He lives in Texas but has no connections to the hunting world. I've hunted my whole life but never in Texas. And never hogs. Looked up public and seems...
I would always be skeptical about taking a new medication, deep in the woods, a long way from likely any real medical help. Is there any adverse affects to using it before altitude? Get some extra from your doc and run it for a day or two before the trip to see if you have adverse effects? Never...
Dug over a foot of snow out for camp. More wolf tracks than elk. Hunted high, hunted low. Ate soup. Got so cold the fuel lines froze on our (retrieval) motorcycle. Beautiful country. Would love to go back. But I am pretty certain the only living thing I saw was a damn nice bull moose that was...
I was looking at those sets and thinking man thats wild he shot another buck that looks EXACTLY the same. Some hell-acious genetics in that area! Never heard of anybody stripping and mounting velvetbefore. That’s awesome
I get that. Do you think most people are properly able to identify a mature buck? I mean really think about it. Some are very obvious, but most people would think big rack, mature buck. Not the case.
How would age related regulations work?
Can you do that? Serious question. I have never heard...
I’ll more than likely be solo calling. I think the saddle would make me feel better. The only bear I could see in a “self defense” situation would be a grizz (ok, sow and cubs black too) and if I even saw a hint of one coming in I would go silent and hope it stops. Cross that bridge when I...
I know Idaho already has antler restrictions, but if something drastic wanted to be done they could implement say a 5 point restriction. No less than 5 points per side. Muley, WT, elk.
Your success would nose dive, game numbers would increase, hell most people probably wouldn’t even try for a...
And thank you for having a program like that. Its awesome people out there put together things like that to help guys who may never get the opportunity
Hey I stumbled on this post looking at something else purple heart related. Do you guys get a ton of applicants? If so, are most of them really limited physically? I have never thrown my name in any hats because I have plenty of buddies missing multiple limbs that have done hunts like that and...
