  1. Awesome. Bucket list for me. If you're happy with the outfitter and willing to share info....please DM me.
  2. Mine is the same (conduit)....they chewed through that damn thing. Either that, or perhaps they pulled it out, and a hog got ahold of it (hard to know without photos). Highly recommend finding a way to secure it.
  3. Love these feeders. We have 3 down in Tally, and 3 in Doss. They are great. Only issue we've had with them (not sure if relevant with current models) is squirrels / raccoons chewing through the wire that connects the solar panel. Re: Panels - appreciate it and well aware...it's a choice we've made to support hog hunting outside of whitetail season. Plus, they rarely challenge the deer for this specific food source, as they are quite nocturnal (usually) and the deer clear it out before dusk.
  4. This big son of a b... roaming Tally Bottoms in East Tx
  5. This is where I am at. All low fence, no protein. There are a couple of other bucks I saw last year late that I'm hopeful to see again...but they haven't showed up yet. There horns have more potential than this one, but they were in the 3.5-4.5 range last year. Curious to see if they were able to put on a bit of mass. This guy showed up opening week...think I posted this last year. I really like his frame and I guessed him around 4.5 last year. Just didn't think he was quite mature enough as his mass was a bit spindly. I got a pretty close view of him. IMG_6424.MOV This second one was from around Thanksgiving timeframe. Didn't see this guy often....but he has a nice tall basket. Really pretty on the hoof. Again, somewhere 3.5-4.5 was my best guess and he needed to continue to grow. Great potential though. IMG_6472.MOV This is the guy I'm hoping to see this year. He's elusive, showed up in late December. Terrible video...had to use my binoculars to try and grab a closer view, but you can see that he's got more mass already and his main beams are taller. Still could use some mass in the G2/G3's, but he's purdy. IMG_6546.MOV
  6. Here's another shot. I agree re: his brisket, but these hill country deer always fool me a bit.
  7. Finally got the camera set up this past week. This guy is a local...still in velvet on Sunday and now it's all gone. Based on other photos he's about 14" inside. Happy to see some decent mass. Any guesses on age? He looks older to me.
  8. I'm looking forward to joining this weekend. Bringing +6 with me. Already told my wife she has to walk up and say "Muledick" in order for us all to get in. She's super concerned...lol.
  9. From my oasis in Georgetown, TEXAS!
  10. Not gonna happen. I'm a gun snob. I'd never run ball ammo through my rifles - that's fucking sacrilegious! (kidding...kindof). n all seriousness, I like to tinker...loading my own ammo to dial in optimum performance of each rifle. I also have a lot of fun verifying my dope so that I can dial in at range regardless of the animals I'm putting down. I've got nothing against ball ammo...but any mil surplus in my house will be saved for the AR / prepping for the world's end.
  11. That's disappointing to hear. Have you contacted them?
  12. With piggy, I've gotten to the point of seeing how many I can line up and see how far one .308 TSX will penetrate. I'm up to 3 at the moment (but one of those was young / small boned). I love me some TSX...doesn't deliver as much energy as a lot of hunting bullets, but damn if it doesn't penetrate like crazy (and I get some damn good ballistics).
  13. I've been testing my new tactacam in the backyard until I can get out to the lease. "Hello, Pedro!"
  14. Got my super combo today! Check your emails, fellas.
  15. On standby for payment options. I've got family coming to town for the UTSA UTEP matchup.
  16. To be clear, is it $99 / camera / year? Or, $99x6 / year? Do they maintain good battery life in your experience? EDIT: Looks like the Flex-S-Dark would be a solid option. And I see they do carry an extender (but it is not rated very high on performance...maybe because it's omni-directional and I'm guessing folks have difficulty with that).
  17. I "need" to buy some new gamecams. What's the latest and greatest for use in a very spotty cell coverage area? Needs to function 2+ months without interaction. Looked at a couple review sites and they all feel a bit off. Looking for recommendations on what you guys have used successfully (or unsuccessfully).
  18. Who wants to kick off the 25/26 Hunting thread?? I'm looking forward to getting out in the woods this fall....let some pretty mature (4.5-5.5 yr olds) bucks walk last year and curious if mother nature provided enough to fulfill their potential.
  19. I'm so sorry to hear about you and your friend's loss. This is a nightmare.
  20. Pretty sure this isn't meant for me...I was defending the good cause.
  21. Fuck me...that's scary as shit. I'm a useless keyboard commander and shit like this makes me want to do better, do more for the world. Those kids didn't deserve to wake up to this. Hope they all make it safely home to tell the story.
  22. Living up to your username, eh?
  23. #20 vs unranked Softball game is getting airtime over a top 10 matchup between two CWS bellwethers. This is SEC?
  24. Ready to get out and do some shed hunting / rucking / pig slaying. Want to get out before it gets too hot. Anybody have a good read on Gillespie / Mason county drops? Is late February too early?
  25. These announcers just showed their ignorance…claiming the Penn St TE as the best in the country. Helm FTMFW!
