Hello fellow hunters.I have recently moved to Texas,as a resident,from Asia.I have been hunting since childhood and have hunted in Africa,India and Pakistan.Guns,reloading and hunting are my only hobbies and i plan to pursue these in my new area of residence.I look forward to interesting discuusions and advice from you all.
Best regards.

Hello Sherkhan im not from the south, but i read all over.
Welcome& hope you like your new home.
Good luck hunting.

Welcome from the east coast.

welcome aboard ; just jump in any time you feel the need.There are a lot of good hunters here with a world of advise.

Welcome to Texas and to the boards!

Thanks all of you for the welcome.I am just beggining to settle down and have not yet considered which guns to buy.Back home i had some real good ones like the Beretta AL391 Eurika,an O/U in Beretta 682 and an Aya 1(PAIR).In rifles i had the 243,270,7mm.mag.and the 22.most were Steyr Manlichers and one Winchester.I had to sell all of them as i could not bring them over with me and therefore have to make a fresh start here.
Need advice as to which calibers to buy for whitetail,grizzly and all other American game.Can afford to buy maybe 3 rifles and 2 shotguns.As far as handguns are concerned i had a CZ 75 in 9mm.and aColt Python in 357mag.but handguns are not on my priority list right now.
Regarding reloading equipment i had a Lyman TMag.press and practically everything else related to reloading.Since ammo is not to expensive here maybe i can do away with reloading for a while but will definately start later on .It's a wonderful past time and a passport to accurate shooting.
Once again thanks and awaiting your advice.

I only hunt whitetail and my rifles are .308 Savage, .270 Stevens, and .300 winchester.
Shotguns are Wincester 1300 Ranger 12ga and 20 ga.
I also have a Rem. .22 and Rem. .50cal muzzle-loader.

What parts of Texas did you move too. Im in North West Texas. If you like hogs, your going to love Texas.

You ask what is a good gun for American animals. Well we dont have many monsters here, Moose and Bear is about as big as they come. the 300s are good all around, yet sometime a little big for whitetail.
30-06, 270, 308 are good for most anything you will see here. I tend to use my 30-06 most of the time. I recently got a 300win for elk and bear.

I'm close to Dallas.Coppell to be exact,but i might be moving on to Plano in the next couple of months.I like hogs but only for hunting.I hear Texas also has some huge whitetails and in New Mexico a good population of proghorns,that i'm sure should be good hunting.
