Educate me on Hunting Texas - 08/06/20 08:45 AM
Hello! My name is Erik and I am new here, I am AD Air Force, from New Mexico, and have been stationed in Europe for the last 4 years.
I have not been able to hunt for years but have hunted bow and rifle in the past. I've hunted Coyote, Fox, Deer, and Elk growing up, but I have not been hunting in 10 years. It is overwhelming to think about getting back into it but I want to so bad, so I'm going to do it. I currently have been shooting my bow regularly and just picked up another hunting rifle (7mm rem mag for future elk hunts) I've got the itch to get out there again. Europe has starved me from the outdoors.
I was looking at the WMA closest to my area and it looks like my chances are slim to none to draw for any WMA hunts.
What are other options? What can I hunt? Where? I'd like to get to know some other hunters in the area and hope to actually meet some people. I will be in the Wichita Falls, TX area.
I will also be putting in for hunts in NV, NM, and AZ. Really looking forward to being in TX though. Thank you for your time. I look forward to discussing these things.
