Odessa stole my heart

[slow walker]

Curtis, I'm just curious if you came across any artifacts in that area?  Arrowheads, pottery sherds, etc.

[Littlefeather]

 Great pics and story Kris.

I especially like the oil well pic. Glad you enjoyed your hunt. As you can see I found some pigs the morning after you left too. Can't wait to hunt with you again. Come back any time. CK

[Littlefeather]

Con, no artifacts here. It's West Texas oil fields. Any artifact you find is simply crap from some drilling company left to die a lonely death in the desert. There are real big Torned Toads and rattle snakes out there though.  :D   CK

Curtis doesn't gain weight because he is always bustin' his a$$ on some project or another. The man just don't stop. May be the only guy I know who's busier than me...

       

I always try to limit my my trips to Texas to one a year. That didn't work last year. And thanks to these new pics, I'm looking at air fare for #2 this year. I just don't think I can wait until February...

Congrats brother...you are not only an extremely talented bowhunter, you're one hell of a friend too. Way to go!!!

I'm almost starting to feel sorry for the Texas game you pursue.....A-L-M-O-S-T

After reading your story and seeing the photos there is NO WAY I'll get much sleep until my hunt in Feb. Sounds like a great place!

Nope! Those are hog and cactus deflectors. Terry left them here a couple years ago and I've found that my calves don't have the fear of getting cut by a hog quite like they used to. I guess they'd work alright for snakes too, and cactus just tremble when they seem em coming.  

[hunt it]

Thats his story and he's sticken to it! You should see the trail these snakes leave in the sand. Snakes have the same attraction to Curtis that hogs do. It's funny listening to Curtis say you don't need snake boots while he's wearing a pair.

Dang Curtis you really know how to savor life.I hope theres room on the 09 SWEAT.The first pic of you with the havies in the back is too cool.

[hormoan]

Great just great, Ya had me not scared of the snakes. But now I still need a pair of snake boots slash (pun intended) aka tusk,cactus deflectors    

Anybody got any sz13's slightly used?   :D

Brent,  Thanks for pointing that out    Now where did I put my size 14 cactus deflectors...Doc

[hormoan]

Ya Doc no problem, by the looks of the pics we are going to need them. Looking a lot flater and thorner than last years Sweat lo-cal. I won't be able to pick on Caddo about wearing snake boots now though  :D  

                    Brent

[Caddo]
