Thoughts on baiting
Something to understand about Texas specifically is that it’s 98% privately owned. So in most cases if you hunt, you lease from someone. My lease is a perfect example. 6 guys on 1000 acres of low fenced land. You can’t spot and stalk on my lease as a general rule, otherwise you’ll step on... -

Texas Parks and Wildlife Nilgai Draw Hunt
I'm from South Texas and grew up hunting that area. One thing that is really odd about Nilgai and I don't think it's already been mentioned is that they use the same dung pile over and over again. I'm not kidding when I say a good technique is to find a big dung pile and set up close to it...- Big Bore

A Time to Reflect
I had been fly fishing in Idaho the few days leading up to it. On the morning of 9/11 I was on my way to the Salt Lake City airport, scheduled to fly back home. Ended up renting a car in some tiny town and spent two days driving back home.- Big Bore

Hunting season preparations, what did you do today?
6.2 mile hike with 25 lb pack. Averaged 14:59 pace. My furthest and fastest, yet. Not much elevation change where I live, but the heat and humidity are disturbingly high right now.- Big Bore

The wife’s rifle is ready!
7-08 is a helluva round too. I use to have a 15" Encore in that caliber. Lethal has heck. -
The wife’s rifle is ready!
That's outstanding, Chris. My wife loves to shoot pistols with me, but I doubt she'd ever kill anything. Maybe a nasty old hog. Enjoy your time afield with her. -
A Hmmmm, Why question.
Not much of an advantage over the 20 and typically kicked like a pissed off mule. -
Hunting season preparations, what did you do today?
Another 5 mile hike with my weighted day pack. Trying to get my pace as fast as possible. Managed to average right at 15 minute mile this morning. Incidentally, I'll be hunting with my Smith 460 XVR and found a way to simulate having it strapped to my waist. Took one of my wife's 5 lb ankle...- Big Bore
