Texan_Til_I_Die

Lightly used Shimano 50Mg in excellent working condition. Small boat rash on front left side of frame. Comes with original box, paperwork, oiler, dust cover, tool and all sizes of counter weights. Wanting to trade for Revo Winch in similar condition. Split the shipping costs.

Excellent stopping power as long as you aren't shooting through thick clothing. If you're using it in an automatic, be sure to check for proper functioning. Some autos don't like it. Its what the air marshals carry on planes.

It may already be too late. That court victory by the anti's has all but guaranteed the extinction of those three species. Personally, I think Texas should tell the feds and the anti's to go pee up a rope and keep allowing the hunts. BTW - I saw a nice herd of Oryx on my way to Amistad this weekend for a fishing trip.

This is the last weekend of doe only season, but I don't need any more meat, so I think I'll sit this one out. Went hunting for one species or another 19 weeks in a row. Time to give it a rest.

...that this will be the first weekend since September that I haven't gone hunting for something. 19 weekends in a row. Maybe I should go anyway just to make it an even 20?

Its over for me except for shooting does, and I already have two. That's plenty for me.

BTW - Wars don't just end, they're won or lost. I think we need more time to determine how this one turned out.

Its sad that so many will jump to the conclusion that another person is a racist, bigot, homophobe, misogynist, or whatever label the MSM throws out, just because they subscribe to a traditional set of values, morals and patriotism. Dang that was a long convoluted sentence.....

Team # 1 Texan Til I Die Doe 12/31/2011

Shot a couple of does over the weekend. I'll try to get my pics up on the entry thread later today.

Sounds like you're going to be busy. Just a casual observation, but down here in Texas almost all of the hunting themed shows are held during the Summer months. About the only big show I can think of that's in the Winter or Spring is the Dallas Safari Club. During the Winter and Spring we're mostly having boat and fishing themed shows.

Finally saw 2 decent bucks this weekend. I spotted them across a canyon at about 500 yards. I thought about taking a lob at the biggest one with the 7 mag, but there was a 10 mph cross wind and I didn't think I could pull it off. I watch them feed for about 10 minutes and then decided to try making a stalk on them. I dropped off into the canyon and lost sight of the deer. When I got to where I wanted to be, they had moved....down wind of course. As soon as they saw me they took off and the last sighting I had was their tails going over a hill at about 1/2 mile. Oh well, at least I know where they live. Also saw another smaller buck twice this weekend that was dragging a leg. If I see him again next week and he's still not walking on it, I'll probably shoot him for meat. I don't like shooting 1 and 2 year bucks, but in his case I'll make an exception.

Antler restrictions, especially the state mandated type, will work if properly instituted, AND if there is a decent forage base and genetic potential already present. If you're missing either the nutrition or the genetics portion, no amount of AR's will ever produce much in the way of trophy potential. Here's some interesting reading from Texas' early attempts at AR's. Currently about 50% of the state is under the 13" AR rule. In most places, it's working well. In a few it's turned out badly.

Just got back from 3 days at the ranch. Saw 6 or 7 small bucks, but nothing even close to a shooter. Still have 3 weeks of either sex season left and then 2 more weeks of doe/spike only after that. It's pretty depressing around here. Been hunting for 10 weeks without a single sighting of a shooter buck. Things aren't looking good right now.
