Montana Boy Stuck in TX

TrumpkinTheDwarf · Jul 17, 2018

Hey guys, I've lived most of my life in Billings/Bozeman/Missoula ( I know, that last one doesn't fit the list

). I'm now in Austin Texas, because I graduated college and needed a job... Sounds familiar?

Anyways, I try to get back to MT on the come home to hunt program every year, and this forum seems to be centered around that area of the world. So hello! I'll try to contribute as much as I can. I know a lot about the fishing from the Bighorn river to the western border.

Being stuck in Texas is my worst nightmare. Prayers headed your way.

Welcome from Wyoming. Texas isn't so bad I guess, wouldn't leave Wyo for it but work is sending me down there for a few months again sometime soon and I'm trying to time it based on the crappie spawn or dove season. Good luck in that heat!

After being stationed in Ft Hood I swore on all that's holy that I'd never stop in Texas longer than it takes to fill my gas tank. Welcome to HT!

Welcome, I don’t miss Texas or FT Sam Huston, the recruiter lied about the girl to guy ratio. The river walk was nice and there are some Big deer on post.

So you're saying you now hunt in Colorado? hahaha
Welcome

Most Texans I know word that as blessed to be in Texas. Lived there a few years and loved the life and the people.

Welcome.

Welcome. I’m in the same boat. Now in San Antonio.

You might want to check out opportunities in balcones canyonlands, the National forest in east Texas, and the Tpwd draw system. Better than nothing.....

The two things that surprise me when I'm inTexas, how nice everyone is, and how I still can't wait to leave. I think I'm confused by deserts that aren't in the lee of a big mountain range.

They do have some good offshore rig spearfishing that's pretty great.

Welcome

Hahahaha! Meanwhile the Texans must assume I came from California... I may hunt northern CO with a friend, but the come home to hunt program makes MT a great option for me most years.

I am hunting whitetail here, but elk and mule deer... no go. I've got mountains in my blood anyways.

Familiar story... my wife and I just left Austin to come back to Idaho. We survived five years down there, now if feels sooooo gooood to be back!

welcome from PA!

Welcome, it's weird in Austin.
The Texas folks are great. You'll enjoy the hog hunting but not the heat!

MN_Bowhunter4 · Jul 18, 2018

Welcome! Spent a few years in San Antonio and enjoyed it down there, but certainly happy to be back up north.

I really like Texas but definitely different than being in the intermountain west.
