    1st Antelope Hunt - Check me

    I second practicing in the wind. Last time I went was 2021. Shot my pronghorn when it was dead still. My son ranged a huge buck at 343 yards and tried to hold on him in a 30-40 mile crosswind. Finally had to give up. He finally got his at 212 yards in a 20 mile crosswind. I cant 'remember...

    Return Of The Jaguar to Arizona and New Mexico, your thoughts?

    As I understand it, there's no current evidence, either historical or paleontological, to show the Jaguar has had a significant presence in the United States. This is the northernmost tip of their range. They are transient visitors and we should protect that but not increase their range beyond...

    Successful draw WY Area 68 Antelope!

    Goats move from the higher elevations in the SE to the lower elevation north off of the escarpment. If going early, I'd hunt the SE above Beaver Divide. Later in the season I'd move north through the "pass". I'd look at some other units if I had 10 points and was looking for a trophy animal...

    We both were successful. Southeastern part of the unit. We usually go in mid October as it's cooler and no one else is hunting. First day we saw goats just above the escarpment. Second day they had all moved north to lower elevation. I do know they suffered some recruitment issues. Watch out...

    Wyoming Unit 52-2

    Congrats. 52 proper has been on my radar but we chose to go to another unit this year. Glad you were able to get it done south of the river.

    Dallas/Fort Worth eats?

    Pre and Post race traffic. After that Fort Worth is no where near as bad a Dallas, Houston or Austin. Or El Paso when the interstate is blocked.

    Off the shelf or DIY first aid kit?

    I buy and add to it. I remember hearing a medic or corpsman say the mantra two is one and one is none. Have at least two of everything critical, like tourniquets and quick clot, needles and some suture material or super glue and bandage or gauze. Everything else is based on experience. I'll...

    calling javelina with predator call. Help?

    You should draw. I've drawn every year I've put in. I'll be back again in January for coues and I expect javis. I've never had luck blind calling, besides spot and stalk is way more fun.

    Texas Rabbit Hunting info

    In the national forest, find areas with grassy cover in lower elevations. I've seen rabbits in the same places as squirrel live. Some of the smaller walk in places that have grassy cover allow rabbit hunting in connection with dove hunting. Make sure you have your migratory stamp. I think...

    Wyoming Antelope with 9 points for 2022

    I tried for three years to draw a unit that was right on the border of our groups average. Failed each year. This year we dropped down a couple points and were successful. Be careful though. some of those units had pretty drastic tag cuts this year and some of the others are due for cuts...

    Successful draw WY Area 68 Antelope!

    Thanks. I hope he has fun. Kind of a senior year present. But if he shoots a better goat than me he's gonna have to hitch a ride home with someone :)

    Successful draw WY Area 68 Antelope!

    Congrats. I burned 11 along with my son's 4 for 66. I thought hard about us drawing separate units but in the end didn't feel right about it. It'll be a fun hunt.

    Wyoming Antelope Unit 21

    May want to check the proposed tags. Many units have drastic cuts in the proposed number of tags due to the had winter.

    Dallas/Fort Worth eats?

    It's a little bit of a drive from the race track but Woody Creek BBQ in springtown has the best ribs I've eaten. For steak, I'd pick Mesquite Pit, the original in Weatherford or beafmasters in Weatherford. Hard eight is pretty good as well.
