Lope Hunter,
Thanks for this nice write up. I'm fairly new to Texas and hunting, but I'll definitely be using this post as a reference if I am ever lucky enough to draw one of these tags. You did answer one question I've had after reading the Outdoor Annual about compartment hunts. I feel kind...
Hey beargrass,
I suspect there are probably a lot of us "new to hunting" types who ended up here because of Randy and Steve's podcasts. I also listen to them on my commute or while I am washing dishes or doing other work around the house. I live on the other side of town in Spring. I've also...
Hey there Tikka, I'll bet you're right about covering the same ground. I wasn't hunting when I lived in TN, but I did a lot of hiking, camping, and caving while I was there. Are you in McMinn county by chance? That's where my wife was born and raised. My inlaws still live there.
If you...

Thanks for the information guys. Harrier, you're 100% correct, dove season is over! :(
I'm still planning on taking my shotgun for a few nice walks. I talked to one of the rangers (I'm not sure if that's their official title) at Black Gap and he said running shoes might be in order for a Blue...
Hey there,
I'm also a fairly new user from Texas (Houston area) and new to hunting. I've also been wrestling with the idea of how to do some public land hunting in Texas. It seems like nearly everyone I know who hunts owns a lease within a 1-2 hour drive from Houston and they like to spend a...

Hello,
I've got some time off from work coming up in the beginning of February and my plan is to make the long drive from Houston to Big Bend National Park and do some tent camping and just basically take a few days to get away from the big city. I've never...

Hey everybody! I was just listening to one of the Hunttalk Radio podcasts and decided that it was finally time to take the plunge and join up here at the forum. I'll break the introduction into a short and long version.

I'm new to hunting, but I harvested my first whitetail...
