What is your definition of this budget? I would consider the below a good budget pair of field eyes.

re: What bucks do you pass on?

Posted by Hawgeye on 11/12/25 at 8:37 am to
I try to pass on anything less than 4.5 years old. Back in Arkansas this year I killed a lifelong spike with eye guards. I have been trying to kill him for at least the last four years, so I knew he was old. It turns out by his teeth; he was a 9.5 -10-year-old deer. I harvested him last weekend and all of his teeth were gone, besides four front bottom teeth.

In Oklahoma, same story. Want mature bucks.

Probably has more to do with recent Memphis coaches who have won big there but then fall flat on their face at their P4 next step, than Silverfield himself. Fuente and Norvell both have pretty much flopped once they left Memphis.

Why not Eric Morris at north Texas?


He's 10 games over .500 as a head coach at Incarnate Word and North Texas. Four out of his six seasons as a head coach have been .500 or worse. He is 10-11 overall in conference play at North Texas.
The biggest farce is having another two loss team who beat them ranked below them.

Also with Rhule signing the new contract with Nebraska, I would lean towards Penn State looking really hard at Bob Chesney. He is a Pennsylvania guy born and raised and also graduated in state from Dickinson.

Stillwater is looking towards GJ Kinne (though he and his team have kind of hit the skids lately), and former QB Zac Robinson who is the OC at the Falcons currently.

What do you like about him? For one, the last name Morris should not be anywhere near the program for the foreseeable future. But second, in 7 seasons as a head coach he has 4 seasons of .500 ball or less. So only 3 winning seasons. Overall coaching record of 43-33.

I guess I do not get this thought process.

In 14 full seasons of being a head coach...

9 seasons of 9 or more wins
6 seasons of 10 or more wins
1 conference title
2 divisions titles
5 top 10 finishes

Arkansas vs. Southern Game Notes

Versus Southern
• Arkansas is 3-0 all-time versus Southern.
^ The Hogs are 2-0 versus the Jaguars in Bud Walton Arena and 1-0 against
the Jags in Pine Bluff.
^ This the second time Arkansas has hosted Southern for the Razorbacks’
season opener. The Hogs defeated the Jaguars, 86-68, in the 2015-16
season opener (Nov. 13).
^ Ironically, the 2015-16 meeting was year two of the Mike Anderson era
and the 2020-21 meeting was year two of the Eric Musselman era. For
those of you scoring at home, this is year two of the John Calipari era.
• Coach Calipari is 1-0 all-time versus Southern. He defeated the
Jaguars as head coach at Kentucky when the Wildcats hosted a five-year
partnership with schools from the SWAC — the Unity Series.

Razorbacks Ready for Year Two Calipari Era
• Naismith Hall of Fame coach John Calipari, who has led six teams to the
Final Four, enters his 34th season as a collegiate head coach and second
at Arkansas.
• He is 23 wins from 900 career on-court wins and is on-pace to be the
second or third-fastest coach to reach 900 wins.
• Calipari became the fourth-fastest coach to 800 on-court wins ever at
1,037 games. Only Adolph Rupp (972 games), Roy Williams (1,012 games)
and Dean Smith (1,029 games) did it faster.
• Of the 32 NCAA Tournaments held during his collegiate coaching career, he
has led 24 teams to the NCAA Tournament, including 16 trips to the Sweet
16, 12 appearances to the Elite 8, six Final Four births, three national title
games and a national championship. (Note, in 2019-20, Kentucky was 25-6
and won the SEC with a 15-3 record but the NCAA canceled the tournament
due to COVID-19.)
• Calipari is one of two coaches in NCAA history to take three different
programs to the Final Four and just is one of three coaches to lead four
different schools to the Sweet 16.
• His teams have won an NCAA-record 38 games three times – twice at UK
(‘12 & ‘15) and once at Memphis (‘08).

For Openers
• Arkansas opens its 103rd year of basketball — and second season of the
John Calipari era — by hosting Southern on Nov. 3.
• Arkansas is 83-19 in season openers all-time and 92-10 in home openers.
• Overall, the Razorbacks have won 51 of the last 54 seasons openers. The
three setbacks include a loss at #1 UCLA to open the 1973-74 campaign and
two neutral site loses: vs #3 UMass (Coached by Coach Cal) to open 1994
95 and an overtime loss to Texas to open the 2018-19 season in El Paso.
• The Razorbacks have won 51 straight home openers, including a 32-0
record in openers inside Bud Walton Arena.

An Elite Schedule
• Arkansas will make history when it becomes the first team (on record) to play all the teams that advanced to the NCAA Elite
8 the previous year, four SEC opponents and four non-conference opponents.
• The Razorbacks will face the Final Four teams
Houston (in Newark)
Duke (in Chicago)
Florida (in Gainesville)
Auburn (twice, a home-and-home series)
• The Razorbacks will face the other Elite 8 teams
Tennessee (in Fayetteville)
Alabama (in Fayetteville)
Texas Tech (in Dallas)
Michigan State (in East Lansing)

Yes. He sucks. He needs to just stick to baseball PA announcing and call it a day.
It’s horrible but the in game bullshite of him and the chick screaming at every damn timeout is what really pisses me off in Bud Walton.

I sit on my hands when he screams to get loud, just to spite him. It’s fricking stupid.

Never posted in these with you fine gentlemen…my last two days…

McCurtain County, OK
42 this morning, 36 yesterday morning

Ladder stand on creek bed with hardwoods in a pine field both mornings. Stand sits about 15 yards from main trail and about 20 yards from small hardwoods congested together with several runs and scrapes.

Ravin Crossbow

Acorns along creek bed. High deer density area. Saw several bucks the last two days. Had target buck at 40 yards yesterday. Likely one of the biggest bucks I’ve ever seen/hunted not on a game ranch. Assumed he would take trail in front of stand but he kept going straight as he was off to my right. Grunted and he stopped but not interested enough to come in. Snort/wheeze at him as a last ditch effort. He showed no interest and cruised on. Waited a bit and rattled. Nothing. Later a 3.5 year old 10 point was in range but he’s too young and will be nice next season. He stayed behind me checking scrapes, worked his way behind me then walked the creek down to my left then back across in front of me.

Decent hunting last two days, saw the two above, along with a 9, 7, and very young 4 point.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. No kills for me, but darn exciting and good buck action. Not really too fired up for does here just yet.

Next weekend Arkansas hunting for opening of rifle there.
A few days early...but lets get this party started...football sucks...

I think it is totally different now. Coaches can win anywhere with the right commitment from boosters and rev share. Gone are the days where you better have a top 5 or so high school recruiting class each year. A coach can now go in and basically pick up free agents to build depth, to get quality starters, etc.

As long as the program has decent facilities and a willingness to win, all bets are off.
