Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Things to do in San Antonio and Dallas

San Antonio or Dallas?

Alamo, Pappadeaux, Buckhorn hall of horns, LaFonda on Main mexican food. Then take a drive out near Boerne and Comfort's country roads and look for big axis bucks and all sorts of exotics.

One time I was up in Poteet tx and the timing chain on my El Camino went out, so my buddy and I were stuck there. We hitchhiked into San Antonio and hung out on the river walk all night and had a good time, next day I hitchhiked back to corpus but got caught in that storm that sweep the church bus off the road with all those kids. That was not any fun, pretty bad stuff.

Says the Mo-Fo from H-Towne

I've not been in Dallas or San Antonio for a long time but if I were to visit again, I'd ask some advice here from the Texians as to a really good Mexican food restaurant and a really good authentic BBQ brisket joint.

Have a safe trip.

L.W.

I have a place on Ocean drive in a well guarded gated community.

It really depends on your age.

Done a lot of work in some of those homes on Ocean dr. got a hardwood stair case I got to finish the trim on when it comes in.

Now Nagel’s included. They started computerization of all of Mr Nagel’s hord and took the fun out of it. It really sucked during the Plandemic, they made you stand in line and only allowed a few at a time.

I was just there last week. Only sucky thang is my Ocean drive gate is only open for a few hours in the morning then 2-5pm

Esquire bar in San Antonio. They make a great old fashion

OP, if you are an old codger and appreciate older stuff then:

Walk through the Alamo, go to the Menger Bar next door and have a whiskey, do explore the hotel and pool area, there are two good restrooms there (secret), go to Buckhorn saloon and have a beer, Eat at Shilo’s, get in the car and head for Dallas.

let me know next time you're in town.

The crab claws at Campisi's on Mockingbird. Their salads are outstanding too. Rays Sporting Goods is an awesome gun store.

The Alamo is very interesting. Walk around and remember that blood was ankle deep inside its walls.

Since you're headed north, the best view of Santone is the Alamo on your rearview mirror and the northbound lane of IH35.
I'd take a left at Hillsboro and follow IH35W up through Fort Worth, then keep heading north.

If you're gun nuts, the best stop would probably be the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum in Waco, TX.
Sits right on the banks of the Brazos river.
You can throw a rock and hit it from the right, northbound lane of IH35 just before you cross the Brazos.

Don't know about now, but Cogdill's in Waco was one BIG privately owned gun store!

They used to have "Little George Lainhart" on display.
It was a .69 caliber Confederate sniper rifle. The stock was no more than a rosewood stock with a cheekpiece on both sides so it could be shot right or left handed.

Enjoy your trip!

Since I mostly hunt exotics, I’m thinking about spending whitetail season fishing and drinking beer.

Figured you for a high fence hunter, Johnny.

Feeders can help connect the dots, I hear.

False, I believe in survival of the fittest and free range migration

I’m not a feeder person by nature, but they do work

So you spend deer season drinking beer? Whatever you say, Cap.

Get that good grain fed axis.
