    Alamo fish reports

    In the fall - Nov. -- Dec. fishing can be tough -- we normally just slow troll shorelines with small cranks - pick up bass and when we hit the crappies - stop and try to find the school or at least turn around and go thru same area agin . lots of places to tube fish on Alamo - we normally fish the West banks. coves / shorelines as this tends be the river channel side on the upper end -- with mostly shallower water along east side best times are March - Apri for all spieces and hope to hit the shad run!

    freezer type

    I like buying them at estate sales Fridgedaire upright- 15 cu ft 2015 - $40 Amana upright 14 cuft 09 - $50 but then I didn't have an elk at the butcher waiting to come home either so I can watch for these to show got to swap out my ancient 20 yr old -- 20 cf er tomorrow before it has any problems - runs great - no complaints other than had to thaw it once every 3 yrs - door handle gone etc. never liked digging in the bottoms of a chest plus the bigger ones took up way to much room if you have it plugged to a gfi outlet - make sure you invest in an alarm for your freezer - if power goes out - they will not reset by themselves - seen many a load of good game meat tossed cuz of a power failure and guy didn't even know anything till bloody stinky mess !! if your just storing hides and heads - sometimes a chest will work better for that and should keep longer during power outage
  5. where do you come up with this!?? I've carried both bow and rifle many a times - there is nothing illegal about it. now had you added - during a bowhunting season - maybe but here agin there are many hunts going on - if you are in the field during a bow hunt with a bow only tag - then perhaps this warden could interpet some violation but it's noncence to say you can't carry a rifle and a bow while hunting please find out which warden stated this information now if the question as about the new law where they specifically stated that during the bow hunts down south where you are carring a pistol for personnel protection during an archery season then here if the question was asked about carring a rifle instead of a pistol - then the way its stated - no rifle

    Just a Reminder

    there seems to be someone set-up at the first tables with a sled - my last couple visits - you'd be surprised how the majority of the scope / sight-in problems are simple tightening of a couple screws knowledge is where this guy gets it on paper and within 3 shots its cutting the bull at 100 yrds. to many this is like gold as I see countless - guys shooting 1-2 boxes of shells and isn't any closer than when they started . most of the problem with this type shooter - poor optics or form or spazzin / flinchin every shot I still use a blank load to watch a newbie flinch - too funny that little trick can majke a difference of a few shoots or a box or 2 I'm no expert but sometimes paying at little to save on ammo and know the gun is right and any mistakes are not the fault of the gun - goes a long way

    Lost bull

    I can remember back a few yrs well - back a lot more than a few yrs 2 co workers whom drew archery elk tags - after the season I asked how'd they do I was shocked by the reply - oh we shot 6 or 7 during the season - and finally got one down on the last day straight faced - never blinked - laughed and joked about all the shots taken -- I'm sure that's the way the had always hunted and most likely still hunt like that to this day !
