    El Rojo’s 2017 Season

    Sorry for the length of time between updates. I ended up scoring a couple of extra days off and smacked a doe on my buddy’s lease. I did have a couple of close encounters with some older deer but nothing that tripped my trigger enough to get the bow off the hanger. I got a call to run an...

    What's your Dream Hunt?

    It used to just be whitetails. That’s all I ever really cared to hunt. The last 10 years or so the image of a big Youkon Moose grunting and swaggering in to my calls is playing itself over and over in my head. That’s kind of a pipe dream for a Texas boy that’s a long ways away from the Youkon...

    El Rojo’s 2017 Season

    I’ve been sick since Saturday night. I kind of felt a cough in my chest coming on and tried to fight it, but it came on pretty strong. I haven’t been in the woods since Saturday evening. I think I possibly found the proper combination of OTC meds and let my tournament partner con me into going...

    El Rojo’s 2017 Season

    I took the day off yesterday. I’d hit a wall after 2 months of 4am wake up and 14-17hr work days on the rig. Temperatures have DRASTICALLY increased. This past Sunday it was 26*, today the high was 85*... Welcome to East Texas! Today was pretty hot. I’ve been having a mental debate with myself...

    My 2016 Buck of A Lifetime

    I looked at several hundred pics of him the other day. I think he’s going to be right at 150”. Steve has him at 164”... As a slick clean 8. He’s incredible either way! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    El Rojo’s 2017 Season

    As stated earlier, I’ve been gone for around a month. I got just enough of the first week of season to make me hate life for 28 days while I was at work. I got home on 10/25/17 and have been in the woods every since. I hunted a couple of days on my MLD place in Trinity Co. For the non-Texans...

    El Rojo’s 2017 Season

    I suppose I’m a little late starting this since our archery season began here in Texas in the last Saturday of September. A little background on myself and then on to the season. I’m new to the forum but what little time I’ve spent here I have enjoyed it. It doesn’t seem fair to enjoy y’all’s...

    My 2016 Buck of A Lifetime

    That’s me lol. I’ve got a following of a few over there that I’d rather not find me over here. I guess I should be a little more stealthy lol. I was at Steve’s house today checking cameras with him. He’s got 2 8’a crowding 150” he’s chasing pretty hard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My 2016 Buck of A Lifetime

    Thanks guys, I was about as proud of that deer as I guess I will ever be. I will possibly kill a higher scoring buck, but I seriously doubt I'll ever top that on public land where I live.

    300 Win Mag or 300WSM?

    There's very little ballistic difference in the two. I own both and one kills them as dead as the other. The OG .300WM is a little easier to find ammo for, the WSM is marketed to have slightly less recoil. I can't tell the difference in recoil.

    My 2016 Buck of A Lifetime

    It's hard to even kick the story off when you've killed your lifetime deer... I put in a ton of time and effort in every single year. It's hard. Some years I question my sanity and wonder why I do it to myself. Killing a big deer where they live is a special thing. Killing one where they're not...

    Death By Black Drum

    First off I am brand new to the forum. From doing a little cruising around it looks like a bunch of great folks over here; so thank you for letting me be a part of your .com world. In my FNG intro I got to chatting with another member about a part of Texas down on the coast that I am familiar...

    Howdy From Texas

    I’ve got a pretty epic story about how a black drum almost beat me to death with a piece of #4 rebar down at Sea Rim. I guess that’s a good enough story for my first general forum post lol. Stand by for when I catch a break at work and be watching. It’s absolutely worth the read.

    Howdy From Texas

    Cleveland isn't far at all. A real good hunting and fishing buddy of mine is from Tarkington. I'm always down to smoke some meat, pour a cool pop down my neck, and meet new buddies! If you married an Aggie you married up lol. Llano is one of my favorite places on Earth. Cooper's BBQ and Blue...

    Howdy From Texas

    Hi folks! Glad to have been directed to this site from a friend. I’m about as new as it gets. I haven’t even been able to figure out how to update my profile information so bare with me until I’ve had a chance to do so. I’m 33 and from East Texas. When folks from out of state hear Texas they...
