There are a ton of small mom and pop internet store on etsy. I scored some great dyneema ditty bags for pretty cheap on there and I could pick the color. Sometimes if a store is trying to gain traction or sales are slow they'll have a good coupon.
Just as the title says I can't get my 1.5 yr old lab to stop digging. She'll go a few days (sometimes even a week or two) without digging, but then if I leave her in the yard for an hour unsupervised she starts at it again. Sometimes even after a walk or training session when I know it's not...
I thought the same thing, but unfortunately I don't see it getting much cheaper. I actually found it about $100-150 cheaper at my local gun shop vs anywhere online.
Well, it goes bang, and is a ton of fun to shoot! Ended up getting 3 hogs that afternoon. Thanks to all who helped me make bad...errr...good choices haha!
I second this. I dabble in public land hunting in TX, but my main efforts are currently focused on out of state hunts. It's sad to say, but I can have a better hunt for less money.
Public is doable, but pretty rough. You'll have better access to public land in the DFW area than in some other areas of the state. Don't forget to check for Army Corps of Engineer opportunities as well. Some of those are not listed on the TPWD website. The draw hunts can be great when you draw...
I bought it and love that thing! I got the XL version, and use it all the time on any trip above 40-45F. It's pretty much my go to on scouting trips in the summer.
I have for waterfowl, but that's a grind towards the end of the season. After hitting ducks hard in my 20's I have definitely slacked off in my 30's. I did pivot towards western hunting and archery which I've still got the fire for. When it comes to ducks, as a few old timers used to say around...
Hey HT, I've been wanting a Marlin 1894 in 357 mag for a long time now, and I found a gun shop that has one of the brand new Ruger Marlins for a hair under $1k. I don't need the gun, but I want it and will eventually get one either way. I have the money, but this isn't the best time of year to...
Meindl Vakuum Hunters. I've loved these boots, and I'm about to order my second pair as soon as the run any decent sale on them.

Welcome from Central Texas! What part of Texas are you in? The youth hunting program mentioned above is fantastic. I'm not sure about waterfowl hunting through the program, but I have volunteered on whitetail hunts and they're great! I would encourage you to to look into some of the drawn hunts...
