Always liked reading McManus. The one title that has stayed in my head all these years is “The Care and Feeding of Kid Brothers”. All his stories were funny.

For holsters made for compact 9mm take a look at DeSantis tuckable IWB and Azula pancake holsters. Those two have been very durable and comfortable. Cost not too crazy either.

I like the Kimber micro 9 for concealed carry. It is a 1911 style pistol. Light and easy to conceal in various locations. I find it easy to shoot as well.

We got pronghorn tags! Happy to be hunting speedgoats with my son and best friend.

Waiting to hear on antelope as well.

Bummer Bean!

What is a good height for a bipod for antelope hunting? I was thinking a 9-13” but have never used a bipod just always used my day pack or rested forearms on my knees in a sitting position.

Got bit by a large cottonmouth when I was a teenager. Caught it and then he caught me. 24 hrs in cardiac intensive care, six more days in hospital, three months recovery. I was dumb and lucky. Good Lord had mercy on me!

I am truly sorry for your pain and loss. My wife and I understand only too well. I pray God’s peace upon you and your wife.

You might want to anneal every three or so loadings. My brass gets a little hard in the shoulder area and is prone to cracks without annealing.

I bought my wife a 257 AI in a Win model 70 Featherweight years ago. My best load for it is a Sierra 117 gr SPBT at about 2850 fps. Sub MOA and kills deer and antelope like a lightning bolt!

Grandkids are the best. In their eyes PawPaw and Mimi can do no wrong!

West Cenral Texas, north of Abilene

Just noticed from the pics I ruffled some neck hair hanging him up. Got that smoothed back down now!

I think my taxi did a great job!

We got him at 151-153, but I am not an official scorer. He is my biggest buck and the biggest we have taken from our small ranch.

Picked up my 2023 buck from the taxi today. I thought he turned out real well. Replaced a smaller but heavier buck on my wall.

I love the quarter bores. I bought my wife a .257 Ackley and we love it. I doubt I would try to shoot a big Muley at 600 yards with it but it has great ballistics with heavy bullets. My choice would be a 7mm. A 160 grain bullet fired at close to 3000 fps from a 7mm whatever is definitely...

I don’t go through near as much wood as some of y’all. Wife wants the house warm so I keep a good supply of mesquite cut. Make great BBQ wood too!

Hunting is becoming a rich man’s sport where the ordinary lower to middle class guy has less and less chance each year at a tag while the wealthy buy more and more tags, either at auction or landowner. If the wildlife truly belongs to the people, let the people have equal chance at them not...

All red for me AGAIN 😩. Congrats to all those who found green!

Me neither

Killed one smallish bear I badly misjudged on size. Did not care that much for the meat. I will probably go again since my hunting buddy and my son both want to kill a bear. I doubt I shoot another one unless it definitely on the large side.

Spring wildflowers starting to show here in the southern rolling plains of Tx.

Not so patiently waiting for the results. Used to draw every 2-3 years before NM cut DIY guys down to 6% of available tags. Have not seen a tag since. Hoping for a tag but not really expecting one again this year.

Not as big as many of the bulls that others have taken but my biggest so far. At my age may be my last as hard as tags are to draw! Bull was taken in Colo unit 61. Wood plaque is a slab of mesquite from my place. The ivories are imbedded just below skull plate.

I am rifleman at heart. Muzzy if I need to. Killed one deer with a bow and put it up, was not my thing.

Nice welds! I can stick two pieces of metal together but at best am just a dirt dobber when it comes to welding. My hobbies outside of hunting are fishing, of which I do a lot, gardening, and horses although I don’t ride near as much or as far as I used to.

I guess the staff went to a different type of wildlife management class than I did. What a bunch of baloney for Res and NR.
