Adrian Gets His Aoudad

"Took this baby saturday AM at the far back blind. Came out from the back creek bed and I smoked him, about 200 yard lung shot. First Aoudad 26" both sides."  Adrian

Saturday Morning Hackberry Grand Slam!

While Darryl continues to be "Aoudad-less", Abel and I were able to complete a Grand Slam this weekend.  He took an Axis and Turkey at Photo Blind; I took 3 hogs down South.

Graham's Aoudad!

George's son took his first Aoudad recently - way to go Graham!

John Waller and his Pigs

Unfortunately, they didn't make it to the market and didn't go "Wee wee wee, all the way home"

Allison, Buster's better half, gets her first deer!

She took this nice mature 9 point at #4.  Big body!

Sika and Hog from this weekend

Darryl and I had two friends up at the ranch this weekend. I got a nice mature Sika at #3 Thursday morning. HUGE body - weighed over 200 pounds. Antlers were 20"+.

Patty's first buck

We had a regular couple's retreat at the Hackberry. Pete/Chele, Mark/Patty, Eric/Carla - no swinging, just hunting with the gals. Even Don and Fred showed up late Friday. Patty shot her first buck ever at the North Blind. Nice deer, Patty.

Not as big as Bill's

I had to stick this buck after I rattled it into the Double Feeder. He was walking away up the hill when I rattled. He turned and immediately trotted into the kill zone. First buck I ever rattled in.

Bill's gets a nice 8 point at the North Blind!

Opening Weekend 2010

Below are two of the deer from opening weekend in 2010. Mark's girlfriend Patti got a nice 9 point at the North Blind and I took a 3 year cull deer from the Cave Blind. Fred Howard also took a whitetail doe near #3. All in all, a successful weekend. Pete and I even had our better halves with us - Michelle and Carla.

March Hunting Trip

We had 7 guys from NetApp, 1 from PMC, and 1 friend from East Texas at this years hunt. We had a great time and some good eats. Four of these guys are extraordinary cooks - so the fixin's were good. Below are some photos and animals from the trip. Enjoy!

Hello Moon!

Truck 1, Mountain Lion 0

Wes ran over this female mountain lion on 335 near the south gate - on purpose. It ran off and he went and found her and finished her. Now, we just need to get that big tom Lance saw in Spring.

Someone's got to start posting this year's game

Just returned from a successful trip to Hackberry and a ranch in Lasalle county. Quiz question: Which buck is from Hackberry and which one came from down south?

Time to Catch-up!
