3 months in of being 18

[TrapperJ]

Howdy folks, been about 3 months since I posted and said I turned 18 and asked advice about everything I should and should not do and I just wanted to give a life update on everything new. Moved to texas, specially del rio and been working as a diesel mechanic. Here recently I got a house by the lake so not much hunting has happened but alot of fishing is about to which makes me wonder if anyone wants to see any fish pictures lol. Recently added to the collection of my weapons with a Winchester sxp 12 gauge and im looking maybe into another rifle thats lightweight for out here and for auodad and axis and the whitetail, even though im confident my 7mm-08 would do all three I just dont have it with me. So far 3 months in and life is great and ive took and im using everyone's advice that was givin.

Glad things are going well. We have a catch all fishing thread for your fish pics.

@TrapperJ I too have the same shotgun. Be very careful when taking the shotgun down for a good cleaning. There is a spring that loves to go flying off into all parts of your garage if you aren't careful.

Go fourth and flourish, young man.

This may sound a bit hokey, but there’s an incredible amount of experience and decent advice to be had here when questions are asked in sincerity and humility. There’s also enough BS to sort through to keep it interesting.

Good on you for asking questions.

Some of my closest relationships have been developed over years of interactions and experiences with folks on this site. There’s a real person behind every avatar and I’ve been blessed to share many hunts and life experiences with folks.

I’ve also incorporated a lot of what I could see as good advice or bad experiences to not replicate in my life choices where applicable.

Learning from other people’s mistakes is far better than your own whenever possible.
