College Age Antics - Post Yours
Boredom can be a dangerous thing. This was during college years but didn't have anything to do with my learing. A friend and I walked across this pipeline over the Red River, at night, after a few beers. Then climbed the tower on the left. There was a full moon so that helped. That was probably...- jrabq

Waterfowl, let’s see them!
My season ended great with the mallard limit this morning, after a very slow start. Got a single about 8 o'clock and that was the first duck I saw. Between then and about 10 o'clock I had a couple of small flocks of mallards fly over very high without paying any attention. Then just after 10...- jrabq

Waterfowl, let’s see them!
The river is typically very slow in January and today was looking to follow that pattern with nothing flying. Finally about 9:00 a few ducks showed up and I cashed in with 3 mallards and 2 Mexican duck drakes. Both Mexican ducks had some mallard mixed in them with one looking close to a 50:50...- jrabq

I was so happy when I found out Trace Adkins actually wrote "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk", I was afraid he was just an imposter! :) edit: I just found out I'm wrong!- jrabq

Private pilot's license
It was a dream of mine when I was younger, but getting married and having kids blew that up, mostly for financial reasons. Now I'm older and probably could afford it, but occasional spells of vertigo tell me to just enjoy my feet on the ground. Good luck if you decide to go for it.- jrabq

Waterfowl, let’s see them!
The "pintail spot" lived up to it's name yesterday, and I finally got the new limit of 3. The guy I've been competing with didn't show up, so I got the spot I wanted. It wasn't easy as they really weren't decoying, and I missed a lot of long shots. I had hundreds of them fly within 100 yards...- jrabq

Waterfowl, let’s see them!
A few birds from some recent hunts, 2026 has started off a bit tough. The "Pintail" spot last Monday, I've been having some competition getting to the spots I wanted to hunt, and not shooting that great. Been missing a few high shots, should have had another pintail. The river on Wednesday...- jrabq

My January 2026 NM Muley
Wow, that's a great buck, congrats! One of my unfulfilled goals is a decent muley with archery, and that one is way more than "decent". -
Waterfowl, let’s see them!
Went back to the pintail spot hoping to shoot better but didn't. Had a chance to get the new pintail limit (3) but missed several and was lucky to get 2. Also missed my only shot at a mallard. Widgeon were decoying well so I took it out on them, and even got a banded one (on the left). I...- jrabq

Waterfowl, let’s see them!
Pintails have been totally absent at the mighty Rio so today I went to the pintail spot. Got a nice one on a boat sneak, and after setting up in a cove I thought I would try for an all mallard and Pintail limit. I passed up dozens of shots at gadwalls, widgeon, and teal, and did get a mallard...- jrabq

My Grinder Sucks - Grinder reviews
I have a 3/4 hp and it grinds as fast as I can supply the meat. Maybe if you had 2 people working a 1 HP is worth it The 3/4 HP is already pretty heavy so I'd consider that vs 1 HP.- jrabq

Still not big numbers around but hunting remains decent. Really slow start this morning but shot 5 between 9 and 11 o'clock, after seeing nothing before 9 AM. It was really looking like a skunk but turned out great.- jrabq

Which western states have been disproportionately good to you in drawing tags?
I've been playing the game a long time so I've been lucky in several states with multiple tags drawn in AZ, NV, CO, and WY. But I've drawn moose and goat in Montana so I guess I'll vote for them.- jrabq

As they lay
This picture popped up for "On This Day" in my archive from 2009. Obviously not a great "as they lay" result. Shot near sunset day before, hit liver, tracked to edge of a thicket, got dark, left him overnight. Found him right away next morning. Not having hunted much in farm country I...- jrabq
