How many spots open on this trip.

[Tomme]

We started with 45. Currently there are about 30 left with something like 10 people saying they are going. I don't count anyone as a hunter until we've received the non-refundable deposit.

Some years we have more people wanting to go then we had spots. Other years we may only have 30-40. This year, with this economy I don't know if we will fill up, but it could happen and certainly has in the past.

[LostHawg]

Well, I'm shooting for 3 spots.

...if I can get my deposit to Dena on time. :grandpa:

[txhunter]

If I have an under 16 hunter going, do I need to send the extra $25 with my deposit? I assume the rest is due upon arrival at the ranch?

[Tomme]

On the kids you can do it either way. If for some reason the youth hunter can't come, I would appreciate knowing as early as possible. Also yes you are right about the other half being due at the ranch.

[Ronny]

Back to the top

[LostHawg]

Ronny should be required to drive an amphibious all terrain vehicle.... :D

[biggen]

I still regret Ronny couldn't make the ballon shoot due to the dodge not being able to cross a little creek!!

[Ronny]

:DYou boys are funny.:D Looks I might have 5 new members coming this year.:)

[biggen]

Sweeeeettt!!!!

[LostHawg]

Maybe we could take up a collection and buy Ronny one of those Zebco rod~n~reels. Give him something to do while he's waiting on the flood to subside... :D

Oh, hey Ronny. Good job on the 5 newbs....

[mitch]

Did my deposit make it to you , and what $ is for the concrete pig. doyle mitchell

[Tomme]

Doyle I have you down on the list for a $75 deposit and with no T shirt.

The cost to try for the concrete pig is $5 and you can sign up at the hunt.

We are up to 22 paid on the hunt.

[biggen]

The concrete pig contest is to see who can take a hog with traditonal equipment.

[engine 11]

[Ronny]

They are just a like :hammerhead::hammerhead::hammerhead:

[engine 11]

and proud to be,you all are just jealous.....

[Tomme]

Man leave for a day or two and you get insulted. Tracy you just drew a stand in the middle of the garbage pit. Not too scenic, but lots of atmosphere. I'll show you gas.


We have 30 confirmed hunters as of this date. Since my son (Jon) and Brad haven't paid yet, I assume we'll have at least 32 here sooner or later.

Three youth hunters so far.

[engine 11]

hey tomme i think you should put rns on top of a dry hill somewhere , i did hear someone say they are going to being him some floaties and a life ring

[Ronny]

rofl:loser::tongue::devil::cheese::crazy::heli::he li:

[Tomme]

You guys crack me up.

We're at 32 and on the countdown to full.

[LostHawg]

Ronny has to wear waders in the dew...

Tomme's jealous!

32? Looks like I'm running out of time. I don't get to make my deposit till Friday at the earliest.

[Ronny]

Get your money in Tracy.
:spank::p:p:p:p

[LostHawg]

[LostHawg]

[biggen]

[LostHawg]

2 Brad, I'm bringing my 13 y/o. I've decided to leave my 16 y/o at home since he's going to California in June with the HS band and is having trouble in Pre AP Algebra II. (Funny how Algebra has changed since when I was in school. Its all like, strange to me now....)

[Ronny]

Two Losthawg's in one pasture :whistle:;)

[biggen]

I quite keeping up with my kid's math after the 5th grade!! :think:

[LostHawg]

I quite keeping up with my kid's math after the 5th grade!! :think:

[Ronny]

[Ronny]

Thats true Mitch, are you coming on the hunt:)

[Tomme]

So, it's past Friday. Is the check in the mail? If so, you have no problem.

[mitch]

yes I am, see you there

[LostHawg]

Tomme and Ronny
Are we still doing a raffle at the end of the hunt? I've been talking with Bob Lee Archery (web store; accessories) about a donation if we are. I'll also, maybe, go talk to Gary at the Outdoorsman. I've already given BLA; Gracie, a tax form. Just need to decide whether or what to go with...

[Ronny]

We will do some kind of raffle if we can get some stuff. Nice work Losthawg

[biggen]

Does that mean your coming Losthawg?
Which Bow you gonna bring!!:tongue:

[LostHawg]

I'm only somewhat good with a longbow. Recurves and compounds don't seem to agree with me for some reason...

I fully intend to be 6 miles south of Sabinal first weekend of April.

[engine 11]

the choice of weapon dont make the hunter it only gives you a better chance to be successful, hell i do good to hit the block at twenty yards so up the money and show up....

[mitch]

so what is the count up to?

[LostHawg]

the choice of weapon dont make the hunter it only gives you a better chance to be successful, hell i do good to hit the block at twenty yards so up the money and show up....

You know that's right. If I hadn't found what works for me, I'd probably still be looking for my first...

[biggen]

You know that's right. If I hadn't found what works for me, I'd probably still be looking for my first...

Aww, I will just let that one go!!! :D

[LostHawg]

Aww, I will just let that one go!!! :D


Dude, you're just sooo wrong... :D :banned:

[Horitexan]

Tomme-

Is there still room? I'm Rusty's buddy that runs the Brushy Hill website and I've been on the ranch the last few years during Grunts & Gobbles. I'd like to join the festivities, formally this year. Also, I'm trying to talk a few other guys into joining and going to the hunt. If you get a chance, send me an email (SouthTXBowhunter@Gmail.com) and let me know how much space you have left.

There are a TON of turkey running the ranch guys. I saw 2 huge flocks of gobblers (at one of my deer blinds) during the last few days of whitetail season- I stopped counting at 36 or 37 gobblers and I saw several other flicks of hens nearby that had 12+ hens in each one. And the hog hunting has been pretty good too. So, this year should be a productive one- IF people will stay OFF those dang 4-wheelers, LOL!

Looking forward to seeing everyone again this year! I wonder if Brad's going to dig another pit blind? I tried it during deer season and NOW I know how much work it took for him to build his, LOL!

Nick

[Tomme]

Nick we currently have 37 paid for the hunt, so there are still 8 spots left. Unless three groups of three sign up in the next few days it shouldn't be a problem.

Looks like many of the same folks as the previous years so that means

A. Someone wil get stuck in the pasture

B. Stricklands truck is likely to get flooded

C. No one will win the concrete pig

D. A good time will be had by all.

LOL

[engine 11]

kinda sounds like us stricklands mite need to bring more than vehicle or just plan on an extended stay.

[biggen]

Nick, I expect you to have that hole dug for me this time!!! :hot::)

[biggen]

Getting Closer!!

[Tomme]

Right about 40 on the count. Five spots left.

Yes, Stricklands definitely need to bring an extra vehicle. Also floaties, water wings and a Kayak. They'll be happy to see you this year though as it's a dry year.

[engine 11]

i heard rns has been taking some swift water rescue classes.....

[biggen]

Think we might have a different target to shoot, for the balloon shoot!! :D

[Tomme]

Oh good idea. Ronny in a swift water kayak towing (or was that holding a balloon?

[Ronny]

:crazy::loser::tongue::devil:

[biggen]

Or maybe this!!!

[kellyg]

Ya'll keep an eye on Tomme! I'd be there but have a previous commitment with an Osceola in Florida..

[biggen]

A turkey hunting a turkey how does that work. :confused::) Have fun Kelly!!

[kellyg]

A turkey hunting a turkey how does that work. :confused::) Have fun Kelly!!

You know I will!! Ya'll too!

[biggen]

T-shirts have been ordered!! Hope Ronny likes his!! :err:

[Ronny]

I think Danny needs a bigger shirtrofl

[LostHawg]

y'all have fun next weekend. :(

[biggen]

Not again lost.

[LostHawg]

You just don't know how hard it was to write "VOID" on that check... :mad: :madpc:

[Tomme]

If you'll start recycling your beer cans NOW you'll have enough money to pay for next year. That's the way Ronny does it.

On the shirt for Danny, larger is ok, but it still has to be pink.

[LostHawg]

Tomme, if I were a drinking man, that might be the answer... :D

[jimmonk94]

Just noticed on the Brushy Creek Ranch website that they do not allow mechanical broadheads.

I have tried to setup using a Magnus and Guillotine, but I can't clear my site, even with an uncut 30" arrow. Since I can't use my standard Rage expandable, what is the best fixed blade broadhead alternative?

[biggen]

Try this it is called a Turkey Terror!!

[LostHawg]

Y'all drive careful and have a fun weekend.

Somebody win that dadblamed concrete pig!!! :D

[biggen]

Headed out the door. Will click some pics!

[BOBSTER]

I guess no one has returned since there are no stories or pics. Bob
