hi everyone, this is my first forum. I live in a little town in north central texas and am a feedlot/dairy consultant, married, and a baby girl due in may. I caught the western bow hunting bug two years ago and decided im making it happen this fall. I am an avid bowhunter but never have hunted public land. ive been listening to many podcast and reading everything I can about OTC hunting. I have a couple buddies who have agreed to give this a try with me and we have all started running and exercising together to get ready. I also have a great wife who is letting me slip away fro a week even with a new baby. I would appreciate any advice or tips that I can get. I know its gonna be physically intense, so we are doing everything we can to prepare and put as many things in our favor as we can. ive also spent hours on google earth looking for places to hunt but am still a little unsure of what kind of country holds elk. Anyways, that's me and I would sure appreciate any advice. Thanks
