Back to Texas... Alligator gar quest!
« on: June 27, 2006, 09:27:00 AM »
Sometimes I think I should just move to Texas. This will be my third trip since the first of the year.

Gonna hook up with Curtis "Littlefeather" Kellar and Jason "String Bean" Wesbrock for some mega bowfishing... probably throw in a little hog huntin, just because and there won't be a frog in south Texas that's safe.

Anyway, the adventure begins in a few minutes. My trusty steed is fueled and champin at the carburator in the drive way.
In it I've got 2 longbows, 1 recurve, a handful of fishin arrows and a double handful of broadhead arrows.

You all be good, be careful and stay tuned for updates.   :p

:D  He's shooting a longbow cause I told him curves was fer women, not bows!  :saywhat:  

After a breif pause he agreed and the rest is history. Charlie is a manly man's archer and will be weilding a longbow this trip.    :bigsmyl:   Stay tuned! I think theres a giant fish in this story. Just got to go find him first. CK

Charlie,

You need to sign on at the Laguna as chief ranch warden! Tell them you only like to eat hogs and havies! They should have room in that new lodge for ya. I know you will have nothing but a good time hanging with Curtis an Jason, enjoy!! and have a safe trip!

Well Gang, Looks like Charlie made it to Texas just fine. He stayed at a hotel in Fort Worth and awoke to find he'd become a victim to the big City. He was robbed while he slept. Details are somewhat sketchy at this point but looks like they lifted him of everything including a bag of hunting clothes. You guys know the stories he writes about those bows he's been shooting for the last 25 years? Thats right, they were in the truck too! There was a ray of light though and the crooks(I've got better words) obviously had bad taste and decided the bows weren't worth as much as the bag of clothes. I absolutely cannot believe that the only thing they didn't take were the bows. Charlie would have been devistated beyond repair. I'll update later. No need trying to call Charlie. They stole his cell phone and GPS too. CK

Dang IT!!  That sucks big time.  I wish he had called, he could have spent the night here.  We don't get robbed and I have the mounts on the wall to show the attempts.

Well at least there is a Cabela's between Ft. Worth and you.
