Texas opener in 14 hours
« on: September 27, 2013, 06:09:00 PM »
Gonna be a balmy 77 degrees at sunrise (and about 90 percent humidity). This is the first year that I have started the season with my longbow. Hope it goes good. Probably aint gonna sleep much tonight. Good luck guys.

Got plans for an afternoon sit, but the weatherman may decide different.  Good luck to y'all!

Anxious? That's why I always keep handy a bottle of Scotch in case I may see a snake, which I also keep handy.

Good luck men.

You'll empty your quiver before you get in the stand.  Text me the damage pics in the morning bud.

I wish I was hunting today. I need to find some public land, in Texas, next year. I will make the hour drive to Oklahoma next week for my first hunt. Can't wait to test my new selfbow. Good luck everyone!

Public land goose egg this morning.

However, at 10:00 am 3 bobcats came down the trail towards me in a hurry. Mom & (2) juniors nearly full grown. The little guys were full of P&V & outraced mom to the tree right beside mine play fighting all the way. The red one (yes red) climbed the adjacent tree with claws racking the bark until he was even height where he looked me directly in the eyes not 10 yards away! Wups! He quickly returned to the ground & outta there leaving mom & bro to fend for themselves. Mom then looked straight at me & hastily left herself. I never even considered shooting them. Don't see cool stuff like this watching Libtard TV!

Definitely Bob! One of the coolest things I've ever seen! I hunt a lot & have seen very few cats in all these years. Only shot at one in my compound days long ago. These were flawless animals w/black tufts on their ears. Mom appeared gaunt as I imagine she has been taking care of the kids for awhile? That cat was in the next tree at eyelevel with lightning speed! I meant to squench my eyes but had no time. Most animals see human eyeballs & it's later gator, these no exception!

If there is a place that might be better than Texas Angelina, it would have to be the east side in Louisiana. Best luck Bob & others.
