Ep 71 / Free Ranging Elk in Texas - Are We Missing the Opportunity?10 Sep 202201:19:00

Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies, tossin' back some cold beers, talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind. We keep it real, raw, and have some good ole fun.

Episode 71:
Many don't know this, but there are free ranging Elk in West Texas. They were introduced into the McKittrick Canyon in 1928. Today, five herds of Rocky Mountain Elk exist in the Guadalupe, Glass, Wylie, Davis and Eagle Mountains of West Texas.

The State of Texas considers Elk to be an exotic animal. What does this mean? It means you can hunt Elk year-round with limited restrictions. A non-resident 5-day special hunting license for $48, or annual version for $132, is all you need! It is known as license number 157.

Finding public land can be a challenge, however. There isn't much remaining in Texas.

September shooting challenge: Shoot at least 1 arrow for 10 days in the month of September - tag us on Instagram and/or Facebook using #ShootItOrWalk and someone will win a nice prize package.

Just recently learned about a hybrid bass known as the Hybrid Tiger Bass. These bass are growing into trophy bass at a more rapid pace, and they are aggressive. With the summertime heat upon us, there's not much in the hunting realm we can be doing right now. Might as well do some bass fishin' !!!

Ep 61 / Tactics for Hunting Small Property01 Jul 202201:01:53

Welcome to the Backwoods Bowhunter Podcast. If you like bowhunting and backwoods humor, then you might have come to the right place. We do not take ourselves too seriously. Our style is for you to feel like you are sitting around the campfire with your buddies, tossin' back some cold beers, talking bowhunting and whatever else may come to mind.

Episode 61:
Hunting mature Whitetail Bucks is challenging especially when they know they are being hunted. It's even more challenging when you are hunting on smaller tracts of land.

Knowing where bedding, feeding areas, and water sources are will allow you to create tactics for a more successful hunting season. Know your wind directions, use scent control methods, and make sure your access to your stand is as undetected as possible.

Hunting small tracts can be extremely challenging, but embrace the challenge and reap the awards of the work you put in.
