Well some good news from the front lines, Texas passes proposition 6 which is a constitutional amendment to ensure the right to hunt and fish in Texas. This is very good news at least for us. As of right now with 89% of poles reporting it has an 82% approval rate! I was worried about this being on a midterm ballet which, from my understanding, is the way Arizona lost their proposition on the same subject. So I for one am very happy about this, the news paper in Houston went on a smear campaign trying to get this to fail and I'm happy to say it didn't work. Of course the PETA idiots were the largest group to oppose it and were responsible for a large part of the smear campaign that doomed Arizon's attempt a while back. Glad to see that the vast majority of my fellow Texans stood up and voted to concrete our rights and not let these Washington idiots stand in our way.
An interesting side note, Vermont was the first state to write this into their constitution in 1777. Just discovered that during my research.
 
I plan on moving back to Arkansas in a couple of years because of the grand kids. (Have to help my son make hunters and shooters out of them) have already made a good start! But Texas is one of the few states that I would be willing to move to without much thought. I actually starting thinking like this when I started going to DSC back in the early 90s. Oh well, Little Rock to Dallas is only a five hour drive down I-30!!!

Gizmo...From the stats I read, very few Texans voted if you compare it to the number of registered voters. It just seems they were all hunters and fishermen!!!!

Man isn't that the truth, people should have to pass a background check before they're allowed to move here.

Funny how people want to leave a place because of how it is and then change the new place into what the old one was.

I believe that you have gone from preaching to meddling! I am all behind supporting hunting and fishing ... supporting a blowhard is a different matter :-)!

The trick is only let the politicians get together once every two years. That doesn't give them time to mess things up to bad.

Right it's like a built in check and balance!

I also believe that if the Governor calls a special session the air conditioning in the state capital building should be shut off. That will get them out of Austin fast.:A Thumbs Up:
 
Vote Republican.....Bottom line!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
