Academy has their own brand of clothing. Their camo shirts are very light weight and extremely affordable. I can't speak to the Academy pants though. For pants I often use light weight Carhartt pants, but if I need camo then I have some very light ones from Kings Camo that were very reasonably...
I have the Big Agnes Insulated Q-Core Deluxe (I think it has been discontinued) and an Exped Dura 5R and both have been comfortable for me. I'm 6'4" 250lbs and mostly sleep on my back and on my side. The coldest I've used them was around 15F-ish. I mainly use the Exped now because it's wider...
Hey everyone,
I am looking at getting a new smart phone, and I've been doing some research on "rugged" smart phones that have a level of water resistance/proofing, sealed from dust and some extra shock absorption. Right now I'm looking into a BV9500 Plus and a Doogee S90 Pro. Does anyone have...
I just wanted to bump this post because this trip is NEXT MONTH! Right now we have about 20 folks going. It should be a great time getting after some reds with BHA! So if you are interested in joining us please shoot me an email at [email protected]. I plan on emailing the group late next...
Geez, save some for the rest of us! Hahaha congrats on the tags! The whole trip is for folks who are brand new to kayak fishing or those who might be a little intimidated by going to the coast alone. There are a few of us who are pretty well experienced. I'm experienced, but not that great of a...
That's understandable (and usually the case for me as well), but you're welcome to join us if you change your mind or if you get your tags filled early.
Howdy everyone,
I just wanted to let y'all know that Texas Backcountry Hunters and Anglers is organizing a trip to fish for redfish Oct 18-20. That time of year is the peak time for reds, so if you didn't draw the tag you wanted or aren't busy with archery season in TX come get after some bull...
Hey y'all we have a lot of upcoming events all over the state of Texas! I just wanted to invite everyone join us for any or all of the events.
February 23-24 - We will be at the Sportsman's Finest booth at Troutfest in New Bruanfels, TX. Please come by and say hi!
March 2nd - We will be...
I don't have any experience with the Metcalf, but I went on a 7 day trip in Utah this season with my Marshall. The Marshall worked fine for the fully loaded hike in/out, and was serviceable on day hunts in between. I just bought it on a screamin deal last year, but I wish I would have waited for...
Yes they do! Check the BHA website (Backcountry Hunters & Anglers) for events, join the facebook group (Texas Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Public Group | Facebook), or DM me your email and I'll get you in touch with the San Antonio committee. (I'm on the Austin Committee.)
I hope everyone had a great holiday break. We'd love to hear about your hunting stories from 2018 and share a beer with you! Please come out to Orvis in Austin, TX on January 17th starting 6pm for the Texas BHA Pint Night.
Austin Pint Night with Orvis - Backcountry Hunters and Anglers
I just wanted to invite everyone out to the Texas Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Storytelling Night on Nov 29th in Austin, TX. I'm really looking forward to it, and it should be a good time. Info can be found at the link below, but feel free to respond or PM me for more info. Only 50 spots are...
Usually just a bunch of good people sharing a beer, discussing hunts/fishing trips(upcoming and past), gear, guns, dogs and BHA/Public Land Issues. It's a good time, and lots of enjoyable conversation. We usually do a few raffles as well. It's come and go as well, so you don't have to stay the...
