    It depends on how far you can shoot in your area and how far you want to shoot. I've been yote hunting for around 35 years and have tried most centerfire calibers. Most will work. I finally settled on .223 for several reasons. Fair distance, availability of ammo, and price if you shoot allot...

    Baiting for deer and hogs.

    I'm not disagreeing with that at all. I agree with you. However, "just because something is legal" - DOES make it legal. There are people out there just waiting for us to go far enough on ANY matter of hunting or fishing that will devide us. And they're ready to jump into the mix and push the...

    Baiting for deer and hogs.

    TG I believe you misread my post stating the above comment on stalking. Please re-read it. I made those comments "sarcastically", not toward anyone directly, but toward those that feel they're just a step above the rest of us morally. I have to say I'm not crazy about muzzleloaders with scopes...

    Baiting for deer and hogs.

    You're absolutely right. Just like changing the channel on your TV, you don't have to read it. But because something is your opinion doesn't mean it's ours. Most of us do alright ethically without any help. I've complained and stated what I think is ethical and right in the past too. It doesn't...

    Baiting for deer and hogs.

    As long as someone is legal and makes a clean a kill as possible then it is no business of mine why he hunted or what method was used. Yeah I think there is enough of everyone telling other people how to hunt and fish. We have Fish and Game Divisions in each state that decide how we can do it...

    Baiting for deer and hogs.

    They like diesel. And you're right it will keep the other game from eating your corn. Look under heavy equipment in a hog area. If it's been parked there awhile they'll root under it. You can poor old motor oil on a burlap sack or blanket and wrap it around a wood post close to a trail. Hogs...

    Baiting for deer and hogs.

    I've used corn, sometimes granulated or block minerals, or salt to bait areas for hogs or deer. I see the different baits like Acorn Rage, Comere Deer (spelling?) and others but have never used them. They sell an apple bait in stores here that I think would be a waste since we don'thave apple...

    5 Photos should equal another good season!!

    Hope you have a great season roundball. Looks like a good acorn crop. That can help and hurt. Good that there's plenty of acorns but the bad is the deer and hogs don't have to travel as far to feed. I have two ladder stands both oversized. I like the extra room to move around on and for my...

    rack or meat?

    Meat hunter, always. Biggest deer a Missouri 6 year old spike buck well over 200lbs. Biggest rack a 5 year old Texas 10 point buck 120lbs. Racks are pretty but never found a tasty way to chicken fry or smoke them. I'll take a nice doe any day. K45

    Traditional PRB Hunters: What caliber will you use opening day?

    :surrender: OK I did it too. But you have to realize it's nearly deer season and some of us are really getting the fever bad. We're not thinking right and I think my old neck is starting to swell. I found myself pawing ground and rubbing a small tree yesterday. So it may not be my fault. K45

    Traditional PRB Hunters: What caliber will you use opening day?

    Opening day here is only 3 weeks away, archery season, a 58# Moon longbow and traditional arrows with 2 blade broadheads. After that I'll use that loud, smokey, heavy, addictive old side hammer .50 cal. for hogs and deer. Lets go now.

    .32 too much for squirrels? How about a .25?

    I shoot a .32 perc. with 30gr FFF and a .310 round ball. I suppose I could load it down some from that but haven't found it necessary. Warning, squirrelin with a muzzle loader can be addictive.

    squirrel opener success.

    :applause: Sounds like a great hunt. Nice pics. That's the way folks used to feed themselves. They hunted it, killed it, cleaned it and ate it. Good job!

    Time to scout!!!!

    That must be common no matter what state you hunt. Here so much of our land is leased. But there is also public land available. I hunt both, and many public land hunters hunt within 100yds of the road. If you can get a detailed area map and find a funnel (for you new hunters, a narrow strip of...

    Time to scout!!!!

    Never been elk hunting thou I'd love too. I know nothing about their habits. I used to have a whitetail lease in the Hill Country of Central Texas. In the evenings you could drive from LLano to Mason (the Deer Capital of the World) on a farm to market road and the ditches would be full of...

    Time to scout!!!!

    Texas bow season is the first of October and general gun the first of November. When bow hunters hit the woods it changes everything. Deer use different routes, habits change. Also here, our rut is going on the last of bow season and that changes everything more. I'm getting the fever. Can't...

    Why are Texas squirrels bigger?

    In all fairness, I must admit that in Trinidad Colorado one can go into surgery qualified to by somebody's boyfriend and come out qualified to be somebody's girlfriend. :shocked2: Well there ya go! I got no idea! Please tell us why. :haha: [/quot Marmotslayer I'll try to explain in words...
