I have two sets of hunting/hiking/outdoors boots in good shape up for sale.
1. Full grain leather Rocky Ironclad soft toe boots, size 13. Tag says 13m but they fit a wider foot (wider than mine, anyway). Waterproof and in good shape. The sole is solid. I have cleaned and conditioned the...
I let my hunting buddies convince me that making a euro mount was easy, and certainly better than paying a taxidermist $250, so when I shot a spike last month I decided to give it a try. I used the skin it/simmer for 4 hours with soap/soak it in peroxide for 24 hrs method. I don’t have a power...
For sale: Genuine Wenger ‘Golf Pro’ Swiss Army knife with commemorative Valero Alamo Bowl embossing. Wenger discontinued these and they’re kinda pricey on the collector market. It has main blade, combo can/bottle opener, punch, tweezers and two golf-related thingies that are a mystery to me...
I’ve seen mention of the inexpensive endoscope/borescope tube cameras that can be hooked up to a smartphone. Anyone use one of these that they’d recommend? I’d need one compatible with an iPhone, and small enough to go in .30 cal, maybe even 6.5 mm.
i decided to buy an entry-level used inline muzzleloader because it seemed like a good idea at the time, and now I’m realizing I don’t know what I don’t know etc.
It’s a Traditions .50 cal model made in Spain with a 1 in 32” twist. The guy I bought it from knows nothing about it. There is no...
I did a three-day hog hunting/camping trip in the Sam Houston National Forest late last week. While set up at a pond in the evening, I was startled right at sunset by very loud, sharp noises coming from the tops of pine trees surrounding the pond. I recorded it with the voice memo program in my...
I did a hunt last month that had all of my favorite aspects: spot and stalk on public land, using a vintage iron-sights rifle — in this case, my sporterized Spanish Mauser in 7mm. I didn’t get the deer I was after, but I did come across a couple of hogs.
There are only a few spots in Texas where you can do a walk-in rifle hunt for hogs. The one I like best only allows it through the end of March, so weekend before last I packed up my old Steyr M95/30 with the aperture sights, left waaaay before dawn and made the drive out there. It took several...
Forgive the noob question. I'm scheduled to do a bear hunt on pvt land in NE New Mexico this August, but plan to go up a few days early to get acclimated to the altitude. While there, I'll be close enough to Carson National Forest to do some hunting. It looks like I can hunt for rabbits and...
It's the last weekend for doves and quail in South Texas, which means it's also the last time rabbits can be taken on most public hunting areas. I shot this pair earlier today at the James Daughtrey WMA outside of Three Rivers, using an ancient Stevens pump in .410 that belonged to my wife's...
Hello from San Antonio. Fresh Tracks is my favorite hunting show, so I figured being on the forum was a good idea too. Public land hunting in Texas is a challenge, but it's my preferred way to hunt and I'm looking forward to hearing about others' experiences. I started hunting relatively late in...
