    Hill Country State Natural Area

    Thanks Heeler, that's probably what I'll end up doing. This may sound silly, but I wanted to try to get the deer home whole so that my little girls could help with the processing. I haven't hunted much since they were born and they've never seen a deer up close. They aren't allowed to come...

    Hill Country State Natural Area

    Yeah, I've done some Google research and got the names of a couple of places. I was just hoping for some local input if there is any.

    Hill Country State Natural Area

    Hello Texas Hunters I got lucky this year and was drawn for a TPWD hunt at the Hill Country SNA in December - two deer, unlimited hogs and exotics. I'm looking forward to the hunt, but it's been a long while since I've spent much time in that part of the state. I'll be far enough away from...

    Parents Say I am Not Welcome Thanksgiving Because I have Guns.. What To Do??

    I don't often post, but this strikes very close to home for me. I have been in a similar situation with my own family. As you did, I sought a compromise by offering to unload my gun, which compromise was accepted. Had it not been, I would not have attended the event in question. I agree...

    Javelinas !!

    I've killed quite a few with my old Winchester 94 in .30-30 with cast bullets at about 1750 fps. Makes a tidy little hole in and out, and I've never had one take more than a step or two. "Skunk Pig" are mighty good eatin' if you treat 'em right!

    Attracting hogs...

    Diesel fuel in itself is not particularly toxic. Chemically, it's not far removed from vegetable oil. However, most folks don't realize how many extremely toxic compounds are added to diesel fuel - cetane boosters, lubricity improvers, and additives to improve cold flow properties are just a...

    what large animals can you hunt with a 30/30 and 243?

    I've hunted with an old .30-30 my whole life. Inside 150 yards or so, I'd be confident taking a shot at just about anything smaller than a grizzly, especially with a tough 170-grain bullet. I saw a good-sized cow elk go down to a .243 at a shade under 200 yards in Arizona a couple of years...

    my renewed love affair with the .30-30!

    I shoot a Model 94 that Granddad bought used for $15.00 in 1937. In 70-odd years of hard service it has yet to misfire, and it will still shoot out the bottom of a Coca-Cola can at 100 yards if I do my part. It’s been a loyal and reliable friend to me for twenty years, and to my granddad for...
