Ya know Curtis this tradgang site has gotten you writing so much that you are actually getting very darn good at it. That ole school marm that taught you english in school probably already told you that would happen. Brian did look a little white in that pic...ain't fair giving him a head start on a tan. I and many others await patiently to hear the story....c'mon Brian...Don't suppose some of those shadows crossing those roads and running through the brush done took him with them...Mac~

Man it was nice going from 20s to 80s in the temp department. Took in lots of sun, ice cold Mexican beer and, oh yeah we did some hunting.

Story to follow fellas. Sorry, been a long day. Airline lost one of my bags, with my camera in it to boot. They were supposed to deliver it tonight but nothing so far. I'll update ya'll tomorrow. Not even that can put a damper on the great week I just had though!

Trip was a huge success. Just getting the chance to meet Curtis and his wonderful wife Debbie was worth the trip alone. Curtis and I had a great time chasing critters. It will be hard to find any one or any place that tops Curtis' hospitality, him and Debbie made me feel at home. Like I've known them all my life. Thanks again Curtis and Debbie.

Dang it I forgot the cheese cake Debbie packed for me, man am I in trouble!

Just got a call from Delta, they found my bag. Wanted to deliver it in a couple of hours. Nice of them to wait until 11 PM to ask, ha ha. I told them to drop it off in the morning. I'll have my camera but if you can't wait, Curtis downloaded my camera too. He'll probably make you suffer though   :D  

OK, going to bed. A few days of chasing pigs and javies wears a guy out, not to mention retrieving game from thickets I wouldn't send my lab into, straining my neck to look at all the deer, coyotes, quail, etc., doing the breast stroke in the red Texas dirt to get away from an 8+ foot blue indigo (spelling?) I could go on, and I will. Talk to you all soon.

Just for the record, I'm glad I was on the good side of Curtis and his bow. That Texas boy can shoot. Them darn poor south Texas critters, they hate it when Curtis "Killer" comes to Laredo...

Congrats CK! I'm with Dick. I ain't looking foreward to all those thorns and stickers.

Brian, Sounds like you had a great hunt. Can't wait to see the pics.

[the Ferret]

Never nevrer never put anything valuable in a checked bag. Dang brian.

Do you know the airline industry loses 10,000 bags PER DAY!

Never put anything in a checked bag that you would seriously miss.

other than that can't wait to hear the stories and see the pics. Glad ya hada good time.

Ahh the bennies of being a big time publisher   :rolleyes:

[Littlefeather]

Good to see ya made it home Brian. Now, Get on with the tellin!  :D   These folks are waitin on your adventure story.    

Brian enjoys the newfound countryside.
 


I took a few minutes to get Mark Horne some pics as well.

   

I'll post more pics when Brian gets caught up. CK

[Brian Halbleib]

You know Mickey, I've always heard stories about lost luggage but I've been on a plane on average of twice a year for the last 10 years and I never had a bag lost. I guess I just got too comfortable.

That and the fact that Curtis and I did some shopping in Laredo and I had a pinata for my daughter and a ceramic rabbit for my wife which I carried on the plane and put everything else in my duffel. Lesson learned, thank goodness they found the bag and called.

I'd be interesting in hearing more about the benefits of big time publishers, I don't know any of them   :confused:  I do know one who is just getting by however    

OK I'm holding the one year old and she wants to eat and the 4 year old wants to show me something. I will continue later once my camera gets here.

The duffel bag is here and the girls are happy for the moment. I'll try to get started.

OK, arrived at Littlefeather's last Thursday after a pleasant drive through south Texas from the San Antonio airport. As I got closer to his place, I could see that this was my kind of place...wide open spaces      

   

Curtis emerged from the bow shop when I pulled into the driveway. He and his wife Debbie have a beautiful homestead in Runge (pronounced "rung-E") TX. Introductions were made and almost immediately we were getting ready to start roving behind the house. Debbie pulled up shortly thereafter with a pile of groceries and was telling me what was for dinner. Man I LOVE this place!

We headed out on Curtis' property to shoot and get acquainted.
