I've got a 3 day hunt scheduled at one of TP&W's most hyper popular Parks in the southern part of the Texas Hill Country, n'west of San Antonio in very early February . The Park is in a construction mode so we'll see how much of the couple ? K acres we'll have access to. Seems like TP&W has cut down on the # of tags offered, But unlike past hunts there, this year Axis are on an Unlimited Harvest basis. Weather down there is always a gamble in early spring, sooo the Marlin SS 270 is gonna get the 1st draw & mebbe the other 3 wood/blue shooters I'm thinking of taking may never get outta the truck. Got all the confidence in the world in the cheapest rifle I own. We'll see what happens weather wise and be prepared for anything weird weather wise this year. Last year at that same time Texas had the worst weather in recorded history with temp's in Dallas in the low single digits 250/300 miles to the north , and the couple Hundred M $'s in infrastructure damage is still being repaired.
