Hello everyone, I have just recently moved to Del Rio, TX and was wondering if there were any traditional archers in this part of the state.

Ryan,I don't recall hearing from anyone in the Del Rio area,but Littlefeather of 7th Age Bowhunting has hunting rights on a ranch not too far from you.You may be the lone lobo,podnuh.

I'm on the far side of the State from you, probably 400 miles away. Don't know if you are aware or not but there is a great "free" bow only area just outside of Del Rio for hunting (can't remember the name). I went there several years ago with a buddy and saw several deer.
Best of luck.
I am San Antonio about 140 miles from you. Ulvalde is close to you and the next town is Sabinal. Palmer's bow shop is in Sabinal
Welcome to the HEAT. I am just down the road in Laredo. If you are ever in the area let me hear from you and we can "fling a few " arrows.
long ways away, over here in the north east. easy for us texas shooters to live in the same state and be a day or more drive away. welcome
There's a BUNCH of us up here in San Angelo. Bout 150 miles north of ya.....
live in Georgetown........where the rain has missed so far today :(
Ryan,
I'm in San Antonio also - about 2 1/2 hours away from you according to Mapquest - but if you find somewhere that we can both drive to, I'd like to get together and shoot with another trad shooter from the boards.
All the best,
Glenn
thanks for all of the replys guys. I am a long way from home, but that is what happens when you join the border patrol. haha. The hunt area is called Amistad Recreation area. Its a nice place, except I almost got shot by some compound hunters chasing mouflon last year. :mad: I am kind of new to traditional archery. I have taken a couple deer, but I still dont think that my equipment is shooting good at all...but I dont know what else to do with it. I would love to get with some of you guys from San Antonio(yleecoyote23, cajuntec) or from laredo (bob G)and shoot a little. Well, just about anyone in texas actually haha. For what its worth, my e-mail is: ryanmerrick@yahoo.com
Thanks
Ryan
Just outside of "Big D" here...we're so far apart that I'd be in another State if we were anywhere else in the country. :)
You're in some good bowhunting country there. Hill Country just to the north, Golden Triangle just to the south. Heck, one of my favorite bowhunting trips was to Carta Valley, TX just outside of Del Rio.
Welcome to Texas, brother.
I am in Monterrey, Mexico , there are several guys here that shoot traditional only. We travel pretty often to the states to hunt. actually I am going to del rio , on the last weekend of august to hunt some hogs and a muflon. I am really interested in bowfishing and have never done it, I have heared of a guy that takes you close to laredo www.extremebowfishing.com (http://www.extremebowfishing.com) , if anyone is interested maybe we can organize a trip
I am two hours from laredo
Southeast Texas for me. Just 35 miles northwest of downtown Houston.

I'm here in Copperas Cove, Centeral part, just north of Austin! Use to Hunt on the Whitehead Ranch North of you.
Would anyone be interested/willing to meet up, and do a little shooting? Mabye help me work out some of my issues with my equipment. Like I said, I am new to traditional archery.
Ryan

Yep, it would be fun. (BTW, I am in San "Angelo", not San "Antonio" :D ) I'm only a couple hours up the road from you....
If you can get a weekend set up to shoot, be sure and let me know, or if you can make it up here sometime, we can go chase rabbits out at the lake or something....
cajuntec and yleecoyote23, thanks for your willingness to help. I would like to take you both up on it and make some new friends. I should be available around the 3rd week of august. Mabye we can trade personal e-mails and start setting up some plans. guess i'll start off: ryanmerrick@yahoo.com

jpaul,
I hope the devil's river had water in it!!!!
Skippy1,
Would love get a bunch of Texan's togeather, let me when/where.,..will be gone Sep, it's Elk season in Idaho and I'll be back about 1 Oct...
By the way Oct 4-5th is the Texas Parks & Wildlife Expo in Austin..I'll have a vendor booth there. If ya'll have never been, you plan to go, it's something you have got to do!! I know it's deer season, but you will enjoy this weekend!
Im in Hondo, about 2 hours east of Del Rio. There is public bow hunting in the Lake Amistad Area. Ive hunted there the last 2 yrs. Lots of deer and lots of hunters. But its not bad at all. Go to the National Park info area. You have to buy a 20.00 permit but that gets you through the deer season. Its really nice if you don't have a place to hunt.Check this out.

The deer are extremly hard to hunt, at least for me. I have not killed one their yet. The 3d shoots at camp bullis are a lot fun and good practice. Take your Drivers License and proof of insurance and your good to go. Theres a shoot on 8/23,24. Starts at 8:00am and it over around 2:00. There will be another one in Sept 20th and 21st. Let me know if I can help in any way. If you go to camp bullis you will pass right through Hondo. Take care. Gilbert

Sulphur Springs Tx here. Although i work in Garland. Just got into trad archery about a year ago. I recently made a new osage bow that i would love to hunt with. I must admit all my hunting has been with a rifle and long ago at that. Would love to hear about some public land to hunt on. I live on about 300 arces (not all mine, but my wifes family) not a whole lot of game on it though.
