Brians Adventure(trophy pics)

[korn stalker]

Great story guys... I've hunted Texas once myself for hogs and had a great time at Halff Brothers ranch..... I didn't get a hog but had lots of close encounters and some very smart and hard hunted hogs to deal with.... lots of fun... Thanks for sharing your adventure with us... Doug.

Thanks for the story boys.  After going to S. Texas the last to years I am unable to make it this year.  Your stories helped ease the pain.  Chad

THANKS!

all rigth Brian got some stuff to get off of my chest >you sir are eating my cheese cake    . Debbie was making some for me at the Sweat Hunt ,bet you got to hug her too    and got to shoot bunnies !!! life isn't fair ( sulking now) .
seriously  your story made my morning also made me sad too .
my first taste of the south Texas scenery ,life style ,COOKING , and friendship came last year with my first trip to Curtis' land of opportunity for Texas Sweat II .
was going this year but started a new job and i was going to have to take a course and had to wait to when it started ,got it in time and got permission to go from UPS then went to get tickets and they were $1000 sorry to say just more than my budget would allow ( really concience , could have used plastic ) and had to call CK and say i couldn't get there .
guess i am one of the different ones i go to Texas to hunt bunnies , pigs and Javies is just gravy !!
is the black bush blooming , alergies killed me for a week or more after i got home !!

do have some good news . wrote the 4hr exam last night at 10 pm ,found the last two HS codes in last 3 min of exam .
got a call  after 11 pm from instructors saying they would see me today , which meant i passed ,so now will have a job .

Brian you have a good one and get all the spines out ,will take a couple of weeks    --- all the best --- herb

[Charlie Lamb]

Herb... bad news, good news! The bad news is you can't justify the expense this year. The good news... next year you can!!! Yeah baby.    

Congrats on the job dude.

Charlie as soon as ck sets date for 2007 going to get my vacation time set --- herb

You will be sorely missed this year Herb. We do understand your position and are proud of you for your recent accomplishments. Im thinking seriously on making the Sweat a 5 day event next year. See ya next year Bud! CK

[Brian McIntyre]

That was an AWESOME read!!  I was laughing out loud (thankfully nobody else is home) when Brian was getting his quarry stolen left and right.  The kicker was in the end when the last two bunnies were gone...  :D   Not too fond of that snake moment.  Maine is pretty much a snake-free zone.  I will have to remember to bring a change of clothes with me should I make it there.  I certainly would have needed them.  :eek:    Curtis, thanks for your part of the story as well.  I definitely felt I was there.  You guys were very descriptive in your writing.  Thanks so much.

CK now that would sound good to me . will be calling maybe Monday night before you and Charlie head south .seemed to be a descrepency (to much money in the check for the Vario or i charged you too much ) you want me to maill the extras off out west ?off to work they are treating us to Pizza tonight to celebrate ---- herb

[Brian Halbleib]

Congrats Herb! It's always great to hear about a fellow TradGanger getting ahead. Best of luck to you.

I heard plenty of Herb stories (all good of course) and the Kellars miss you. You know Debbie loves to cook and she'll have a cheesecake ready for you when you go back, guaranteed. Ask for her own special recipie peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake. Don't let Curtis hear you though 'cause he likes plain old regular cheesecake. Did I mention she made homemade ice cream too while I was there?

Herb, Congrats...I'm happy for ya bud!!!! One of these days we'll get together somewhere to shake hands.Till then....      

[Gary Kellar]

Herb -

It's certainly unfortunate that we'll be unable to meet this year, Curtis speaks of you frequently and I know the other veterans, along with the bunnies, will sorely miss you this year.

But . . . do you think just maybe you could send them big ol pannies down just for the week?!?!?!?!
