I got my first bow buck on Monday morning. It's a longer story but I shot him Sunday evening at 7pm on what I thought was a great shot but ended up backing out and getting a dog Monday morning as the blood trail ended and I didn't want to bump him. I could do a longer write-up but all in all super proud of my first one with a bow even though there was a lot of twist and turns. He was shot at 15 yards and I came to full draw three times before I could get a shot. Bowhunting is as much as you can have with your pants on!

Man these are always tough but I'd say that buck at least 4.5 and I bet in 4-6 weeks when he's added some weight and and the neck is all yoked up for the rut he will look older. He could also be a healthy 3.5 year old due to the long looking neck. Super helpful I know but I love those chocolate horns.

Southern CA Fires- Extreme Santa Ana Winds
cknight replied to Wilcox Cummingtonite's topic in Daily Texan
First, I can't imagine what some of Surly brethren are going through and my heart goes out to them. My mother in law lives in Sierra Madre and below is a picture from her house on Tuesday night (sent by one of the firefighters). Somehow the firefighters were able to save her small cul-de-sac; they are some true heroes and I can't imagine the exhaustion they must be living with. Secondly, she has a lot of smoke damage to her personal belongings as well as ash etc. inside the house. She has talked with a restoration company and they want to have her to do an assignment of claim agreement. I just want to make sure she doesn't get screwed as she is a widow; is there anything I should be looking out for as I will be assisting? -
Man of all the strange things that can happen. I was waking to my stand Sunday evening and had a mesquite thorn go all the way through my boots and puncture my foot. It's been 3 days and that sucker is still swollen up like a football. I want to hunt this cold front next week and hope it heals by then. TLDR; I hate mesquites

Picked up my first thermal monocular lens on prime day; AGM15-256 I believe. It’s a lower level model but excited to use it looking for hogs at night but mostly to use walking into bow stands at dark and making sure I don’t bump anything. Seems like it might be useful finding dead game in thick cover too

It’s already been mentioned but the radiator needs to be done to avoid the dreaded pink milkshake. Also, the lower ball joints probably need replacement as those were a weak point. Great trucks; I’ve got a 02 with 255k on it

Thanks Cruiser. The nightstand gun is just a bare bones Ruger SR9. I've never run an optic on a pistol before so any thoughts on that are greatly appreciated. The majority of my shooting is at the deer lease but I'm in DFW so I just need a find a place around here to try out some of the guns.

Appreciate the responses; I need to shoot some rounds through all of them and see how they feel.

Need the surly thoughts on a new EDC. My brother just bought a Canik mete MC9 and that's nice little pistol for the price especially with that trigger. I'm currently in between going with the Canik and a Holosun optic or looking at the myriad of the Sig 365 options. I handled the XMacro yesterday and really liked that but the price point is significantly higher. Is this a buy once cry once or are there any options I should be looking at?

He’s got an old looking face too

38 degrees with a light north wind is pretty hard to beat. I had a small 2.5 year old 8; 5 does and 8 turkeys. Also, had a hog at 55 yards but that’s out of my range. Most of the time we have a group but sometimes it’s enjoyable just being solo; can’t wait to get out to the country again

That’s awesome; my back hurts just thinking about quartering that out

Shot and handled a bunch of different bows and ended up taking home a Matthew’s phase 4; put a QAD fall away rest and a black gold 3 pin sight. I’ll mostly be hunting tree stands and appreciate the advice. Excited to get a lot closer and hone my hunting skills. I definitely want to hunt the West before I get too old but right now just trying to narrow down my arrows and broadheads (fixed vs mechanical etc)

I jumped into the bow hunting game this year so excited to get out in October and see if I can get a big one on the ground before general rifle season starts. Bow hunting is like fly fishing; there is so much information out there it's almost overwhelming.
