    I just go to Palmers for corn and feed. I set up my own bows, but The Outdoorsman is the local bow shop, and nice guys--don't know how good they are. Probably someone on here can give feedback on their service. Also good to deal with on firearms. Fast food--Rosa's. That may get you a start.

      I thought so. Wasn't sure if you moved.

          Post up your pics and stories fellas as usual. Hunts, trail camera pics, LDPs, work weekends, new projects, food, drinks, coons and other varmint carnages are all welcome! The more participation (and last year was a great example) the better the thread. Here's to a bountiful 2017 for us Angelo area hunters!
          I will be getting setup this spring on a lease in Tom Green county. Cant wait to see what San Angelo has in store!

            Was really considering looking for a lease out there, but I'm concerned about that drive all the time from Longview

              I like to hit the Hidalgos up on the north side (near the feed stores) for my favorite west Texas delicacy, enchiladas with a fried egg in top.

                  These Groundhuggers are the only feeders our landowner allows, I was a little skeptical at first, but they are awesome. Coon-proof, super easy to fill and the deer don't seem as skittish. Also, easy to MacGyver it into a directional feeder. A little pricey but worth it in my opinion. You can pick them up at West Texas Game Feeders on Chadbourne.

                    interesting, i've thought about cutting legs and adding cattle panel to the bottoms of my feeders to make them "stand and fill"

                            Why is it all he allows?

                            TBHer supersport on our place built one just like it and had some issues. I'm not sure why or how but he had to end up raising it off the ground 3 foot because of them

                              I think he's had issues in the past with hunters leaving low-quality equipment out there for him to clean up later and he believes these are the best built feeders around. After using them for a season, I tend to agree with him, plus they are super easy to fill. Also easy to get hand corn out of if you left your hand corn in the truck and easy to set off when you are getting in the blind and don't have a remote.

                              These have a spring loaded mechanism that prevents any loose corn from being stolen, works great. The only coons we have on camera are at water troughs where we hand corn.

                                I've always had good service at the Outdoorsman. If you go in for something, they have a bow range in their basement so you can make sure you're set up properly.

                                Rosa's is pretty good if you're in a hurry, but Franco's and Armenta's are the places to go for West Texas Mexican Food!
