    Paper Map Advantages?

    I love paper maps, to see the big picture of an area, the reliability, and the ease of use. I was on a hunt with a bunch of backcountry gurus one time, I had my old school army style map I made from goggle earth and scotch tape, they had OnX. I teased them because before they could get their...

    Good read or fake news?

    When politics gets set aside, it sounds and seems to me that most country people, be them ranchers or other environment appreciators and stewards, are very against the wall. They are all for security of our borders of course. A few weeks ago I took a gravel road through a large wildlife...

    How to train my labs to duck hunt

    You keep asking lots and lots of questions brother! Great advice these guys are giving. Take things slow, enjoy yourself, don't worry about your own or others expectations, then the dogs will enjoy themselves, and you can be happy with however it turns out. Maybe they turn in to duck dogs...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Article I read today said next Wednesday is the day to look at buying. Sellers lick their wounds all weekend on a Friday fall and keep selling off on Monday and Tuesday's. Interesting observation, we'll see.

    What is the 1 rifle you regretted buying or wished you never had bought?

    Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 30/06. The first rifle I ever bought. Man did that lightweight thing kick! I thought I was just a wuss, but a cousin who is a real shooter finally got tired of watching me miss with it and shot it. After one shot he stood up and said, "I'll never touch...

    USDA Forest Service seeks help to expand access to national forests and grassland areas

    I didn't even know we had BLM land in Texas. 12,000 acre ranch that has multiple roads leading into it, but they can't get a right of way. Got to find solutions. We actually have quite a bit of other should be public land in Texas, that like this one, are locked up because managers, or...

    77 year old father "I gotta start hunting easier country"

    Public land, I don't know. The lower elevation stuff I know of is all locked up in private, for your very reasons, applied more to running cattle though. The Mescalero reservation cow elk draw is an interesting option I've looked at, and applied for unsuccessfully unfortunately. Maybe DIY...

    Showing appreciation

    That's for sure on both counts. Some folks just don't think considerately. You keep inviting people though, I'd guess they are blessed by it.

    "China bans trade, eating of wild animals in battle against coronavirus"

    Stuff like this often makes me think that some unseen guiding force in the universe is trying to get us, the collective all of us, to take seriously the need to take care of this place and its flora and fauna. Not only disease but hell even the dove population in Texas disappeared more than...

    Episode 119 - Ted Roosevelt IV

    Huh, I thought it was a great episode. I was super excited to have a thumbs up from Randy when I suggested he talk Ted into running for president some day. I guess we all hear different things, what make America great right!

    Spring turkey tips

    To add to the conversation, be careful with the blinds. A lot of less expensive blinds have a sheen to them that turkeys do not like at all. Seen lots of what should have been easy hunts ruined by hunters who insisted on using them because they weren't confident in sitting still. I've gotten...

    Blue Quail at Black Gap

    Cap and I just returned from chasing blue quail at Black Gap WMA. What an amazing trip, with epic scenery and history! It was Cap's first wild bird hunt, since we don't have any bobs in Shackelford Country anymore it seems. I didn't think he'd be ready for such a trip at 8 months old, but...
