Amazing story and a great family adventure! Congratulations on a nice pronghorn. Your story touches home, when I got out of the service and went to college, I told myself would go on a pronghorn hunt in Wyoming once I completed the program. I have that degree, but I am still buying points. I...
I just picked up a couple of canister of the mix at walmart in the corpus area, also academy had some in stock. Seemed to be plenty around with the Coleman brand. I would check out the walmarts in your area.
I have been lucky so far, Hanna hit south of me and I recieved little rain while Beta turned north and missed me again. I was out mowing today like nothing happened. The storm surge did jack up the beaches. Gonna be interesting when they open them back up.
Nice haul, too bad about the shark rod, those can be a rodeo. I was down on PINS these past two days and had some luck. A couple slot reds and blacktips along with plenty of whiting. The tides been real high with Sally and now this new storm in the gulf, probably wont be headed out for a while.
I would buy used optics for sure, I have found killer deals on ebay during the off season. Spring time or winter is when I usually find the deals. Swaro hold their value over any other optic in my opinion. Leica and Zeiss make great optics but their resale isnt as good. Rifle scopes are a whole...
You're really going deep on this, I never had any problem in NM with AZ and now TX plates. I would show support to Western, small town college in the Gila.
I was able to luck out and get my second choice elk tag on a returned tag. So I am going elk hunting this year. I did subscribe to a notification system which is better then me hitting refresh all day. There was a sweet elk tag turned back in already and I was running across my yard to log on...
I have used the 143 eldx on deer and they work great but I feel like there are better choices. I would steer him towards bonded or mono bullets. Such as Barnes 127 LRX, Federal 130 TSX or the original 140 Accubonds from Federal. All around 40 bucks a box on midway.
There is probably a reason why Nissan discontinued their 5.0 diesel. I have read good things and bad things about their diesel, similar to the Dodge 3.0 diesel, which I had. I would stick with the proven Nissan gas motor if you want a Nissan. The half ton diesel don't have the performance like...
Yes you could fly but that isn't cost effective when you are subsistence hunting for moose. This hunt isn't for non residents going on their dream hunt. It's for meat. Plus most hunters are towing boats up to hunt the rivers. They are pretty much SOL unless the governments come to an agreement...
