West Texas is pretty though. I only hunted there for one year, and was mainly for quail. Only deer I saw hunting there was over 500 yrds away. Looked like a big buck. I caught a lot of crap over not taking the shot, but that range was way out of my comfort zone. I’m used to shots less than 250. I hunted hard to finally see a deer, and then passed on the shot.

I got ribbed, but whatever. 500 yrds is a long way when your heart is beating chasing a deer & shooting off sticks. Never trained for that, wasn’t prepared for it. I like to get closer. Was a lot of fun though.



Make that about 50,000 acres or better yet 100,000 in the Davis mountains.

10,000 isn't much out there.

I compare a 5,000 acre ranch in the hill country to 50,000 in west Texas.

To live in Payne's hayloft. roflmao

Seriously, my hubby and I want a log cabin. 50 acres. Stock tank. Going solar and off the grid would be ideal.

Since passing on that 500+ yard deer, have you taken a class and/or range time to learn how to make a 500+ yard shot?

I want at least 100 acres that has free roaming axis, is not in a "subdivision", and is remote with enough elevation change that I can shoot long range and not have to push up a berm.

Just my .02,
LeonCarr

Some of it I already have. Some of it will always be a want and some of it I'm still working on.

Always wanted a double rifle in 45-70. Will always be a want unless I fall into more money than I know what to do with.

One thing my grandfather said about 10 years before weed blew up, “Boy you know where the money’s at?” No Papa where? “Marijuana cultivating”

This dude barely drank a glass of wine a year, and I guarantee he never smoked weed in his life. I was floored.
Low and behold, it’s everywhere

Always wanted a house on the lake where I could walk out my back door and sit on the dock fishing. Also, s 5000 acre ranch where I could hide out from the world. Not much chance of owning either unless I hit the lottery.
