    Lost Texican, how is the wireless service in Laguna Atascosa? I have OnX and can use that by downloading some maps but it’s nice to be able to pinpoint your location on the live map.

    Thanks for that. I don’t plan to break any of the rules; I just need to understand what the rules are.

    I read in the Laguna Atascosa NWR information that there is no park access from the county park. Does that mean just motor vehicles or does that include bikes and hikers?

    Yeah, I’m planning to get a game cart as I understand that I may have to hike quite a ways with a heavy load if I get lucky. Academy lists one for $65 rated for 500 pounds. The reviews on it are pretty positive but they all say to replace the connecting pins with bolts. No problem there.

    MLB44, I will be there January 19-21. Probably get there on the 17th to set up, scout and attend the meeting on the 18th, then hunt for three days. You also?

    Thanks again, LT. Now I have some questions about access. I see on the map provided by the USFWS that areas 2, 3, 4, 5, & 8 are the only ones where rifle hunting is allowed. Is this correct? Since #4 is across the ship channel I won’t be able to hunt there. So if I’m willing to get off the road...

    Thanks for the info Lost Texican. I’ve got a lot more questions but I’ll start with just a few. What caliber/cartridge do you recommend? I have a 7 mm Rem Mag or I can borrow a friend’s 338 Win Mag. I have a good mountain bike but if I need an E-bike I’ll have to buy or rent one. I’m not...

    I’m one of the lucky ones who gets to rifle hunt Nilgai in January. Where can I find out more about Laguna Atascosa NWR?
