SNAKE ID

Posted by SWHouston Tiger on 5/2/24 at 3:01 pm
I'm thinking water snake, but possible a cottonmouth? [img]https://i.postimg.cc/Px8cvB8w/Snake.jpg[/img]...
As others have mentioned fishing the surf can be great from surfside beach to galveston beach and around san luis pass. West bay behind the pass can also be good. If you are going to wade in or close to the pass wear a pfd or at least bring one and tether it to you. you can be standing in knee de...

re: 270 WSM

I have both 270WSM and 270. I prefer the 270WSM. It has better ballistics, flatter shooting etc. By a lot? No. Will it kill a deer any deader than a 270? No. If I could only have one I'd choose the 270 due to ammo cost/availability. But I do prefer the 270WSM and can't really explain why. P...

Another vote for the Ruger MKIV 22/45 Lite. I have one with a silencerco spectre II that is awesome. I've never had any feed issues with Subs or supers....
Depending on which light you choose if you go that route, you'll need batteries which you can buy on aliexpress with the light, but I'd recommend buying these instead based on ratings. I use these in my lights and have never had any issues with them. [link=(https://www.imrbatteries.com/samsung-3...
This link should show several quick mount options that look similar to the mount in the pic provided by uncommon sense in the previous post. [link=(https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-flashlight-scope-mount.html?spm=a2g0o.home.search.0)]Flashlight Quick Mount Bracket[/link]...
cabela's or bass pro will probably do it for free if you bring it in and explain the issue, but you weigh the risk of the tech not being an expert, but they should be able to trouble shoot it. If the strings still have a good wax coating, they should be okay. ...

re: Hunting Gloves of the OB?

Posted by SWHouston Tiger on 1/22/24 at 10:44 am
For a cheap option, I've been using the Magellan Outdoors Men's Ozark Heavyweight Poptop Gloves from academy. They are the kind that has open tipped fingers and a mitten top that folds over them. It's easy to put a hand warmer packet in the mitten part. The thumb has a cover that folds back as we...
I have a Silencerco Hybrid that I have mounted on a Marlin 45-70. I absolutely love it when using subsonic ammo (Hornady Subsonic 410 grain Sub-X). My daughter has been deer hunting with this set up since she was 8. Supersonic ammo is still loud and kicks like a mule though. I've heard people...

We've got 2 of the 2 to 3 person see through blinds on our lease in Oklahoma. They are cheap blinds, but so far so good. We get some pretty heavy winds on our lease and one has survived two seasons and the other one full season. I think we paid around $60-$70 for each. I wouldn't pay much more t...
