  1. 208 of 254 Texas counties have squirrel seasons. But apparently there are “year round seasons” in many of those counties not in East Texas where there is a definitive “season.”   I wonder which 46 counties don’t have a season at all.   Thanks for being difficult TPWD. 
    Don't EVEN get me started on the stupidity on how the "slot" rule is written for fishing.

    Ex: "No fish under 12" can be retained. No fish in the slot limit of 12" to 18" can be retained."

    Um... why not just say "Nothing under 18" " & be done with it?

  2. Saw a Bentley SUV headed E on 290 in Oak Hill yesterday - had a hitch rack with 2 YETI coolers out back.

    Seems to me kinda "I have a Bentley & you don't" sorta thing, but to each their own desires. If you've got it, spend it I guess.

  3. Read is the kind of guy who revels mostly in the sport and the gear. He messes around with crossbows handed down by his dad and has been shooting squirrels in his yard with a pellet gun, amassing a freezer-full for stew later this fall.
    the author writes about  bubbas, “shooters’ and forging a new Texas hunter yet then then writes about one of his subjects clearly violating game laws by shooting squirrels out of season and presumably inside the city limits. 
    Not smart 
    No season.

    Other than possible city regs, that's a "go get 'em" situation.

    Most people in your average subdivision could whack one with a quality Gamo.e08bd54ef292a122a1dd270d9108babe.jpge7f2ab858156cf387cfcdd07f9cd6337.jpg

    What about Floridians?

    Hell, I had over a 1/4 century living in Broward County - I've got a double Doctorate in "Florida Man" (& "Woman"), so I can certainly handle that level of idiocy.

    ...But it's 3 mortar "send it" shots away from full agroid.

    These last few posts bring up some things about olds and the internet.

    When I was trying to teach my 80-something year old Dad how to google things, I could not stop him from paying attention to the ads and dreck in the margins.  I began to understand how people that grew up with the internet learn to ignore commercial and other crap to get to the real information.  And also how we learned to take things with a grain of salt and to deduce or estimate the veracity of any given chunk of information.

    Olds don't have the mental flexibility to do that anymore.  It's hard enough to get them to learn to use the internet or a computer, let alone to perform the filtering that internet veterans do subconsciously.

    Facebook probably makes it worse because all the "information" is formatted more or less in the same way and there are fewer tipoffs that it's utter bullshit as there may be on the internet at large.

    Just an observation, carry on.

    I posted this on FB just today.  If my wife were bother with a response, it would be a parroted line about "Snoops is just some married couple who are liberals.".  Never mind that it's actually "Snopes" & who gives as shit about their marital status?  That's like saying "Trump is just some married guy from New York.".  & When I explain that every bit they do a piece on has citations & back story, that is brushed off like Ricky evading aggy in '98.

  6. I am married to an ignorant Trumper.  She eats up crap on FB & re-shares along with her older sister, Dad & mom + any other Trumper on her friends list.

    & I am not joking here, she adamantly believes the Clintons were part of the pizza parlor basement child porn dungeon thing.

    She will hop onto anything on FB without even the slightest regard to fact checking, yet if quizzed probably cannot tell you which of the bicameral bodies is based on population vs. X per state (& couldn't tell you how MANY = X).

    I usually only have to accept 2 or 3 idiot offhanded comments from her family @ Thanksgiving.  Saturday during the Longhorns debacle @ Baylor, my FIL made a "Who cares, that's just 2 n - - - - - s hitting each other" type comment.  I don't recall the context because that's not the important part.

  7. Pawn shop # 2, Mossberg 500 in 20 ga. (again, youth model).

    Stock is mildly worn, more than a few days in the field but not bad.. prob. 7.5 out of a perfect 10.

    Metal looks OK, pretty clean action & barrel (can't really see a LOT via shitty lighting).

    Want $ 220, I offered $ 200 ca$h out the door, they passed, I walked.

    Deal or no deal?

    I can come back next week.

  8. Different pawn shop, Austin.

     

    Stevens 555 12. ga O/U for $ 400.

     

    Barrels looked like it hasn't ever been shot, 2¾ & 3" choke, removable.

     

    Feels kinda light, however. Stock wasn't in the "medium weight" feels. Nary a nick on it.

     

    Thoughts?

  9. I second what @Grippe said.

    I'm in Drip & loaded with wildlife; thankfully, my wife bought into that decades ago when the $$ wasn't so stupid like it is now.

    Of course, everything you do NOW is going to cost less than what you do tomorrow.

    SW of JC isn't so bad; IMO, the area around New Braunfels is going to be infill before you know it & that's a hassle.  Due W of Blanco isn't so bad (comparatively, of course)  Essentially, go 10 miles S of Blanco & then draw that same line N to Burnet & maybe 30 miles N of there, still W of 281... that's gonna be your target zone.
