  1. I won't bore ya'll with all my "deer management" mess, but I assure you that the rule will be NO Bueno.  Bottomline, until east Tx hunters can accurately age deer, it's not going to get better...plus, if you have to let those basket racks 'walk', you're gonna get a bunch more basket racks on the property...inferior mature deer need to be shot to eliminate their poor genetics from the herd, so I believe this 'rule' will be counter productive.  I wish everyone great hunting this season, and be careful entering and exiting stands.
  2. LCM2LU, you bet there will be tailgating...I know us fellas in the Football Alumni Association will be tailgating big time!...and I encourage everyone to tailgate and have a huge time...Let's try to make this thing big enroute to D1.
  3. While driving down 59 South last week I was pulled over near Missouri City by a police officer, then 10 minutes later, I was pulled over again by a county officer.  Both officers indicate that they are stopping every vehicle towing an ATV because 59 S is a major path for stolen ATVs.  Both of them shook us down pretty good and then put an "X" on the trailer...??? and sent us on our way.  Ya'll have a good season.
  4. I've hunted all over Texas for over 30 years and I see many hunters use different calibers, but they always seem to go back to the .270.  I think it is the best all around caliber, with good decent power, awesome accurac, and accuracy is easy to find. I used the Federal Premium 130 grain and saw success.  I think the most important thing to remember is to shoot a gun you have confidence in and are not afraid to shoot.  I shoot a .300 win mag and it shoots a dime sized (bullet holes touch each other) at 200 yards with a group of 3-4. Never been a big fan of the .243, but alot of people love them, but I believe anything from a 25.06 on up (25wssm, 260 Rem, 257 Weatherby, 264 win mag, 270wssm, 280 Rem) will do depending on where you are hunting.  Deer in deep south Texas, old bucks get up to 240+ lbs., and I shoot the .300 because I'm not into tracking, however, it has made me deaf.   Anything under 400 yds. will usually hit the ground.  Ya'll have a successful season and be careful getting in and out of stands.
  5. All Lamar University Football Alumni Association members are invited to tailgate prior to the scrimmage at the Soccer complex...we'll try to be set up by 5, and anyone wanting to help can call Dr. Cavness
  6. I have had great success with a 870 mag...holds up good to mud, water, etc. and it shoots good...spend the big money on a deer rifle and even more money on a quality Luepold.
  7. The schools in 23-A must stick together, as the state sometimes makes reference to consolidation of small schools.  Everyone knows we do not want this.  Keep Chester in your prayers for a speedy recovery and don't forget H-I as they are struggling with enrollment from IKE.  Hopefully Chester and H-I will get a big number of move-ins and boost their enrollment.  Good luck to all of our 23-A teams and hopefully the schools will see increases in enrollment and improve success in all of their athletic teams.  Have a great weekend.
  8. Prayers and best wishes for the staff, players and students at Evadale ISD...get well soon!!!
  9. Coop, my hands did not type what my brain said to type Vidor 35 OHS 12
  10. Will be a great game with alot of rivalry...the difference will be Evadale's discipline...last year HD had (I believe) 5-6 personal fouls, and at 15 yds a piece that adds us. Evadale will prevail in an aggressive game by 13...Have a great weekend.
  11. Went to Webb county this past weekend and it looked good. Have had some rain...I expected desert conditions...bucks looked healthy and in velvet. Rain slowed down the dove movement...gonna be a good season1
