I think I got caught generalizing a profession, which was my bad. I think that we have had bad luck with the pumpers that run through our ranch. They are always leaving the gate open leaving it to blow in the wind and break welds, and we have also caught them shooting hogs out the window of...

I have seen a lot of posts come up about hogs, and how hard they are to kill. Yes they are think skinned because of the way they fight, which causes scar tissue to build over the elbow and round the neck area. I also think that this is because of poor shot placement After witnessing a large...

This may have been said: When you have the scope on 9x you will not see branches that are in the way at short range. You would think that you would only not see the smaller branches, but even 1" diameter branches can disappear in a scope set a 9x at close range. Secondly, unless something...

I would not mind a reserve type game warden as long as they did not have the authority to go into locked gates. Driving around county roads is fine, but its seems like a good way to get some people wanting access to private property. Another example are pumpers (oil field workers) that have...

I am going to set up one of my shotguns for slugs, which gauge is most effective. I have a 870 20 ga. and 12 ga. and I am going to get a rifled barrel for one I am just conflicted on which one would be best. I have read that 20 ga is more effective for hogs than the 12 ga, because the 12 ga...

I thought you only had to manually lock the hubs if they did not engage on their own? I have the same type manual locking hubs the OP is talking about and have had it in 4 wheel many times and it worked great without getting out and manually locking them. You do not have to go into reverse...

I have a 2000 7.3L F-250 4x4 4H- If it is shift on the fly (has the nob to electronically shift to 4x4) then you can shift into 4x4 at any speed under 40mph. Do not exceed 40 mph in 4H at anytime. 4H- Not shift on the fly, you must stop and put the car in N before shifting into 4H 4L- Put...

Great advice! Follow the tips he gave you and you will improve your odds.

What I would do is set up a small hand plot, this would give the deer a consistent food source. If hogs are a problem you might put some hog panels up around the plot because hogs can ruin a small plot in one night. If you want to hunt the hogs, you can fence half and leave the rest for the...

Sure is, I am going to head sometime this week to do some scouting for next week.

For the wah wah opinions I believe you would think a little differently about it if you were the one busting your butt managing a herd only to have some idiot come out and shoot 6 young bucks with potential. It was more that the man knew all we did to manage deer, set his stand up on our...

Not me, not after the madness of the first opening.

Yes, but do not turn into "that guy." Meaning do not become that guy that owns 25 acres that pulls deer off a well managed 1,200 acre ranch. I would suggest you get in contact with your neighbors and put together a management plan if you even think that they are hunters. We had a "that...

Nice pictures, it made me laugh a little that they were hanging from the kids playground.

Humm, I am about to start on my Masters in Psychology and am finishing my Bachelors in two weeks. I would suggest you stay FAR, FAR away from that guy, we all know that most serial killers start with animals, and often times joke about "my buddy that killed a cat." This is VERY different than...

Not an attack story, but it is still pretty cool. I was driving to my tree stand the first morning of a 4 day hunting trip and I saw a hog in the middle of the dirt road so I got out and shot it in the headlights with my bow. (I hunt in Texas where that is legal.) I did not want to go...

Oh yeah, it was not me but I drive an extended cab toyo and have a girlfriend who drives while I poach. She also does not care and is happy to see me illegally take game, it took me a while to find a chick like that. WOW, not really, but seriously who talks their wife/girlfriend into...

Have had a few charge after being shot with an arrow. A few others have charged because I surprised them.

If it is truly a road to no where it would not be too hard to get it listed as a private road. Long story short we have a ranch off a road to no where (or its faster to be driving from the other direction and no reason to drive through our ranch), and we got it listed as a private road...

I have a .17hmr and mainly use it to pop rabbits. I have shot 5-6 yotes with it just because that is what I had in my hand at the moment, and it preformed well with the factory Federal rounds. I have even shot a few feral hogs with it, but the shot placement was between the eyes, with no...
