How's the pronghorn population recovering?
"Enough points for whatever unit I want for 2025". Brother you better look at drawing statistics a little closer. The top trophy units take a dozen+ points to draw. Of course, big bucks can be found in lesser point units but to say you can draw whatever unit you want is laughable. Good luck, but... -

What is a Bucc-ees?
Oh my heavens yes. Have made a 100 mile detour to eat here. The meat, the sauce, the beans. Driving to San Antonio Friday from West Tx and now I have to change my route.- Huntnut60

Aiming Under Deer
I've shot 30+ whitetails with a bow. Probably 80% have been does. Does have always been much more prone to "jumping the string" compared to bucks in my opinion. It doesn't help they are so much smaller. Bottom third of the body is not a bad guideline. I've never shot under a deer that was within... -
Fear of Lost Keys
I know of more than one person, including my son, that leaves keys in their F150s. The key fob in his truck only has to be within a certain distance of his truck. There is a way to lift the door handle and with channel lock pliers, break the locking mechanism. Then, all you have to do his press...- Huntnut60

Greatest Shot Ever--A Thread--Post Your's
A group of us were following up a poorly hit doe during archery season. The brush was thick, and she wasn't bleeding much. I decided to swing around, in front of the group, and see if I could see her crossing a clearing. I was 80yards from the clearing when she came walking across. My bow only... -
Granddaddy's Gun
A family group of 10 (brothers, cousins, son-in-laws, nephews) went pheasant hunting in Kansas in 2021. We all had guns our fathers had hunted with and passed down to us. It was an unbelievable collection of Brownings, Parkers (some reproductions), Ithacas: all over-and-unders and side-by-sides...- Huntnut60

The 25 Year Elk Drought
Now that my friends, are what successful hunt pictures should look like: the smile tells it all. I HATE any pictures, where the successful hunter has a scowl on their face or do not appear to be happy with their kill. Well done sir!! -
Age and Elevation
I have heard stories of hunters who have never experienced altitude sickness over 12,000ft and develop symptoms the next time at under 10,000 ft. You never know when it might be you. Take Diamox and stay hydrated.- Huntnut60

Age and Elevation
Diamox, and do not look back. I drive to 9600ft from Tx and backpack in to 11,600ft the same day. Before Diamox, always suffered from headaches and loss of appetite before Diamox. Have been on this trip 5 times on Diamox and have not had ANY problems. Why risk losing any of your valuable...- Huntnut60
