yes, i went two years ago on the archery hunt.
happy to chat about it if you want some insights
i saw 28 nilgai, had 12 in rifle range, 6 in bow range, and was only able to fire 2 arrows. didn't come home with any though.
one i missed at 8 yards in a ton of brush with a bang bang kind of shot and the other i hit in the top of her shoulder and it deflected up and away. she was walking down a bank and so when she ducked the arrow it created a weird shot angle. it skimmed her and did not penetrate the hide
a better hunter would have landed her
Would love to chat about the hunt. I'll pm you my cell.
I hunted there last year and got within bow range with 2 bulls and 2 cows, cows within 5 yards and couldn't draw w/o spooking, they ended up getting spooked and throw an arrow at one grazing the lower chest, I was off about 5 yards on ranging her.
Save one for me, we don't head out till the following weekend. I'm sure they will be nice and stirred up by then, lol
Question, I've never been out there before. Do they have a certain time each morning that they open the gate or allow you in and do they have a set time you have to make it out?
We would show up an hour before sunrise and the gate was always open. You do have to be punctual on your exit. Sundown and you should be getting in your truck and driving out. They’ll give you a number to call if you know your not going to make it out in time or you need help with something.
When I got back to my truck last night it was later than normal cause I had to haul my stuff out as well and I had to make several rest moments... I had a message from the folks asking if I was gonna get my deer out of cold storage...mine was the last one left.
Think I saw a sign on the check station gate that said it opens at 05:30 in the mornings.
Then they should spell that out. I dont assume anything.
You do realize that's the law for consideration of a motor vehicle on the roadway in Texas, correct?
Non motororized is clearly stated " No motorized carts, wagons or bikes" allowed on the refuge. You simply twisted words at that point. I would think they wouldn't state the carts and wagon with the bikes if it was a rule for the texas state law on roadway motorization of a vehicle. You sir were in deed in violation.
