Thanks for posting those Adam, I missed most of that. Like Terry said, with such a large group and things going on everywhere, it was hard to keep up with all the happenings.

Just finished up the semi-finished DVD edit tonight. Can't believe I got a good hours worth of footage after chopping and splicing. Wife and I watched the semi-finished version tonight. Not bad for our first time filming and editing. Will post some clips when I get a chance.

Yesterday morning I put a javelina hind quarter in the crock pot. Added lots of minced garlic and some sage, powdered ginger, soy sauce, crushed red peppers, and black pepper. A couple of hours later I added red potatoes, fresh mushrooms, carrots and onions. Shortly after that I added some red wine (just used what was on hand and already opened--an organic cabernet sauvignon)a little more soy sauce and a teaspoon of concentrated lemon juice. Delicious--don't let anyone try to tell you javelina isn't good eating.

Thanks again Jerry. I'll get a copy of the DVD to you as soon as it's finished.

Bon appetite Reg!

This one kinda fizzled out...no more pix???

Here ya go Curt, a few more pics. I just got back from some time in Texas and the Journal hunt was a big part of my travel plans. I got in on this through the St Judes auction last summer, a bargain and a good cause!

As someone mentioned early in this thread, the Texas brush country / desert looks barren and plain at first glance, but it grows on you fast and the subtle beauty is soon obvious.

You cannot convince a newbie to not touch the prickly pear cactus, there is only one way to learn.

Gary teaching John to make a string into the wee hours of the morning.

John was into the home made wine during the string lessons and may have been feeling a little "rough" the next morning.

Gary Davis and I headed out the second morning and got into some rabbits. His first bunny he aimed for the middle with a judo and we were fortunate to make the retrieve. I advised he try head shots.

The stalk...

The draw...

The result...

Hogs and javies are great fun to hunt. Here's Bob and Mike with some fine meat.

All too short. I could have stayed there a week and stayed up all night and still not had a chance to visit with all the folks or chase all the critters. Next year...

Thanx Shaun...any more bud?

You know...when Gary came down to hunt with us boys in TN last fall, I thought he looked familiar. After looking at the pic with the rabbit, it all made sense....He is a dead ringer for Popeye!

See you at the expo in a couple weeks,Gary. No Spinach for you!

bayoulongbowman · « **Reply #77 on:** March 14, 2007, 06:13:00 PM »

cool pics yall had fun ...all I know is every living bush or plant in that part of Texas has stickers or thorns...but that looks like a good hunt...

Mr. Bowhunter · « **Reply #78 on:** March 20, 2007, 09:09:00 AM »

If anyone could help out I would appreciate it. In addition to Brians professional DVD, we made a home made jobbie and edited it with Studio 9. I need help in reaching the following people from the hunt:

Gary Davis
Roger Garrett
Harry Christensen

If anyone has their email or mailing address I would appreciate it. And if anyone not able to make it would like a copy, drop me a line with your mailing address to [email protected]

DVD is 75 minutes but could have used some editing.

Thanks Ken

Great story and pics guys! Lots of that looks familiar...I sure do have many fond memories on that ranch. Good to see the javies are still there in force.
