Welcome!

Welcome! get out of the city, find some barbecue joints and have a few shiners


huh?

I also escaped from So Cal about 4 years ago. I do not miss it at all. You'll love it here!

Man, this guy must be some sorta swinger wanting this many girls in his harem...

Welcome!

Yep. What they said. Welcome.

welcome to Texas. and becareful who you talk to about RV living and having a bunch of guns inside, eventhough it aint cali, we still have dirtbags that take things that dont belong to them.
I live in North Houston South of Conroe. Caught me at a bad time. i am leaving for West texas for a few years or otherwise Id take you up on your offer. Good luck. Happy huntin

get you a rifle, shotgun and a .22 and you have almost all game covered big and small. Make real life friends and get as many connections as you can get. Be nice and surely some of those connections will more than likely pay off in a free trip. If you have some spare coin then pay an outfitter and get some meat. Down here you pretty much get what you payed for. If you want a trophy you will have to open up your wallet wide. A meat hunt will be much cheaper. As for hogs, go on a meat hunt and pick off smaller, tastier hogs. The trophy ones get expensive and are not as tender. JMO's.

I figured I'd just add on to this thread. I understand that gun stores wont sell handguns to me with a california drivers license. I just registered my truck here, will the registration to my truck suffice for a conceled permit and purchasing handguns?

I'm not ready to stand in line for 3 hours to change my license over, mostly because I'll have to take a day off from work.

i from that little area before houston and a we do is kill ducks and look for new blinds all the time and catch trout welcome how bout that smog

lmao - thats a good way of putting it

You want real Texas? Get out of the cities!!!

I agree with Seadog. I grew up in the outskirts of Houston. There is a lot of hunting close to Houston. Im sure you can find a local that hunts to take you under his wing. Especially since you work at academy. As far as guns, you cant go wrong with the .30-06, .270, and 7mm. As far as brand, check out Marlin and Savage. Great guns that are very affordable. If you can find a Rem 700 for a few hundred, jump on it. Gun hunting is fun, but bowhunting is even more addicting. Shotguns, I have an 870 and an 11-87. Love them both, just depends on what you want and how much youre willing to spend. Good luck bud, and welcome to Tx! Oh yeah, go get a Tx license!

welcome!

I'm new to the forum too. Everyone has been very helpful. You'll like it here.

If you are going to get a shotgun a remmington 870 won't fail you. if you want to pay a little more for a semi, i'd reccommend the Weatherby SA-08. I just bought the waterfowler eddition and I love it! Stay away from the Stoeger m2000. They have a break in period. Some shoot the first tiime and everytime there after. some, like the one i bought only shoot 50% of the time. You have to put 100-200 rounds of heavy load through it! i did that and it still didn't work.

Houston, huh? Well there is one good thing about Houston.....you aren't far from saltwater! Blast and Cast!
