re: What to do in San Antonio

Posted by jlong4635 on 11/12/25 at 8:11 pm to
Sanchos has the best street tacos in San Antonio that I found so far. Kind of off the beaten path, but definitely worth it.
I also recommend PMC in Hammond, although I have never bought band saw blades there either

If you are willing to drive to the NOLA area, Southern Saw and Cutter in Harahan will definitely have what you need. I know for a fact that they will cut/weld any length blade. I use them exclusively for saw blade sharpening, with no complaints. They don't have a huge show room like PMC, but they a good people that know what they are doing.
I've made 2 trips in the last 6 years. If you plan to purchase the express passes/fast passes (whatever the heck they're called), it is a no brainer to book through Universal at one of the 3 top tier hotels that include the express passes.

I have stayed at Royal Pacific and Hard Rock recently. The walk from Hard Rock to City Walk is much shorter than the walk from Royal Pacific. Royal Pacific is cheaper than Hard Rock.

I went during the week of Thanksgiving 2 years ago and the express passes were definitely needed unless you like waiting in excessive lines.

I have not visited since the opening of Epic Universe, so im not sure how that may have changed anything

Rockwood, Fogo, Jealous Devil are my top picks. I haven't used briquettes or lighter fluid in many years.

Not sure of the correct answer but I held off on Prodiamine due to soil temperature and just applied Atrazine this past weekend.

I am getting taken over by dollar weed and clover as well. Eager to hear some feedback from the TF experts as well.

Sherwin Williams Pro Classic is hard to beat. It's available in latex or oil based.

As mentioned above, prep work is critical, especially dusting or using a tack cloth.
I only keep 55 or 62 gr bulk ammo. I have literally killed somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 hogs with it, all head or neck shots. Not sure how well it would work out with a vital shot though. Most of my hog kills are close range.

I have 10 round and 30 round polymer mags. Gun mag warehouse seems to have the best deals. I bought some aluminum mags but didn't really care for them.
ATF? FBI? Which one is it? I tossed all my guns in the marsh once Biden was elected

re: Hunting pant recommendations?

I'm also a big Kuiu fan. I have several pair of the attack pants. You'll need some good base layers to go with them. They have an athletic fit so it may not be a bad idea to buy a size up

I don't miss weaving in between palmettos from when I previously hunted Plaquemines Parish.

I'm sure I can put something together near a cutover or some grown up CRP fields.

Ron,

Thanks for the detailed info.

Mehhh, starting to sound like it may not be worth the efforts.

Keep any relevant info coming, I appreciate all of the feedback so far.

I have a late season elk hunt in WY just before this lottery hunt so I won't be too eager to meet the orange army at day light.

Anyone got any idea how many folks they draw for the lottery hunts? I didn't find much info on the internet. I tried calling the NWR office a few times with no answer

Tensas NWR

Anyone got high level info they can provide on Tensas NWR deer hunting? I won one of the November 29/30 rifle lottery hunts for this year. I'm not looking for anyone's honey hole or secret spot, more the less general info. Is a boat necessary? How much of the land is accessible by foot? Etc.

I plan to make a few scouting trips, but figured I would check in for any folks familiar with the area. Thanks
