as a guy who was had his truck shot a couple of times by nimrods riding in it, I like unloaded or loaded with bolt up or open , or hammer up
nothing is harder on the ears then having a deer rifle discharge inside a truck with window up , or trying to get home with a bell housing with a hole in...
Sept = dove & teal, pigeon
October = pronghorn
nov = mule deer and white tail, only in Texas and Mexico
dec & Jan = ducks and speckled belly geese on the farm lakes
elk probably never again due to the wacky drama with F&G , locals , ect
Yeah their ok , it’s so dang hard getting them packed out and on ice
in 90-105 weather, the hams and backstraps are good
soak in pineapple juice and al pastor spice and make tacos
shoot some lambs and cook cabrito style
Yeah amigos it ain’t no picnic here In Texas, one cigarette from a motorcycle or car , BBQ pit and we’re up a creek, lakes are empty also so no helicopters dumping water
I have built some guzzlers and they where done like this
1 . Roof with slope to gutter
2 gutter to holding tank 500-1000gallon 1/2 buried under the roof
3 tank with valve connected to 3/4 poly pipe
4 pipe to buried flush or slightly above ground guzzler with horse float valve
5. cover...

It’s really a conundrum, urban sprawl is terrible at ruining mule deer
winter habitat, fire is great about showing where people shouldn’t build houses, get burned out collect insurance move into a city!
build & live vertically in a city!
My 150 ttsx & tsx , running 3000fps = same performance as a .270 @400 meters, not saying much but these new monolithic copper bullets give a .308 a little more pepper @ range till 2000fps is reached
Find obscure water holes outside Carson forest, since Bow is the weapon

Best thing about a .308 is I could find ammunition for it in 2020 & 2021 . Other than that it’s good for deer to 300 meters
parent to 260 Remington & 7-08
Yeah fire is a double edge sword, short term no bueno
long term fire creates new green growth and cover that support animals
I know when we burn the ranch in Texas after a rain it exploded in new growth
