Thanks Vasnce need to keep the population in control; i know JC will do his part but the rest seem to like piggies  .
Tried JC's cell and Curtis' last night but they were on voice mail so never left any message ,hate speaking to a BEEP !! then forgot to looking at the clock and figured they were in town anyway --- herb

I'm guessing the second group doesn't use cell phones??

Well, Ken Thomas and I are tired but what a hunt! Dave Stinson and Bob Morrison just dropped us off in Temple Texas where we are grabbing my family and then it's off to the airport, then it's back to the frozen north of Alaska! I'll post just a bit to wet your appetites. Tons of Javi's everywhere and plenty of hogs if you look in the right spots. Hot as the day is long down there! We all had a great time and everyone either took or had chances at game every day.

 

Just watch where you place your feet for sure.   Here is a nice rattler that Bob Morrison shot in the head.

 

Here is a shot of a Javi I took with my Black Widow longbow. Those little tuskers don't leave a blood trail worth a darn! Good thing he only went about 40 yards.  

 

And this would be a picture of my little friend that just about got me when I was looking into the underbrush for hogs instead of where my feet were going. This one was about 6 feet long, how long would that make his striking distance. TOO FAR!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, time to change the shorts.  

 

Bob was kind enough to let me try out one of his beauties with a new limb design. What a smooth shooter and spot on baby! Nighty night jack!  

You all hang in there. All of us will post stories of our hunts in detail once we get back to the home front! Curtis, you da man bro!

I KNOW Whip has a cell phone!  He should have got there today.

Thanks for putting Bob in there with the rattler for scale. If it had been Curtis, I would have yawned...

[Terry Green]

Guys......I'm whooped, flight got delayed and three days of hunting and jawing till the wee hours has taken its toll.  There will be stories and images by many in the days to come.....hold on...this Texas Sweat had its share for sure.

I was truly honored to share a camp with this great bunch of guys.  This was about as good as it gets boys and girls.

I'll leave ya this evening with a few quotes I heard during the hunt.........


"Nah, I'll just sit out here and cool off a bit" - Ben Moffitt.

"I noticed this cow at my chair with parachute cord hanging out of its mouth" - Dave 'Hunt It' Stinson.

"I'm glad you're down there instead of me" -  Charlie Lamb.

"Those things are quite scary" - Conan 'slow walker' Nelson

"Oh no, ....those thorns and cactus was nothing compared to the gashes, stitches, and scars I saw in my immediate  future." -  JC

"I wasn't going to let that 2nd one boogie" - Jeff 'tippet' Springer

"I think I'm goint to go home and teach my wife a little spanish" - Kyle Watson

"This is insane man" - Curtis Kellar

"I'm not too old enough that I can't whoop your butt....don't call me Mr. Kellar again." - Mr. Kellar        :D      

"You two being experienced bowhunters, I was expecting a more miraculous plan of a technical nature." - Krister of Norway.

See you guys tomorrow......

Hey y'all.  just woke up from a short nap at Casa de la Moffitt and am getting ready for mor driving to get to my house.  Ben has been a most amazing host and an absolute beast when it comes to long term driving.  I think I enjoyed my time visiting with ben about as much as everything else this weekend and that's saying a LOT!  We made a long trip home even longer by going to look at hog dogs for Ben and MAN OH MAN did he pick up two good'ns.

Anyhoo - How can you sum up the TX sweat?  Well, its just a small handful of days filled with heat, cactus, thorns, stickers bushes, a few snakes, hogs that are skittish (cuz like Curtis said EVERYTHING is on the foodchain here), and javies with popping jaws and more fun than you can imagine all at the same time.

I've got stories and pictures to post but I've also got 6 more hours on the road so y'all will have to wait for them.
