7th Age and the Rowan boys
« on: December 28, 2007, 08:22:00 PM »
just got a call from Curtis Kellar and the boys are having a blast down in Odessa. Both the Rowan brothers are in camp as well as some others that I don't know and they've all had their chances.

I know some Javies have been brought to camp as well as a jackrabbit or two and the odd quail.

I think Danny may have missed a shot at a coyote as well... easy enough to do.

Curtis said he's got all kinds of spots picked for the hunters with no shortage of fresh spots selected for Ted Fry and his gang when they hit the state.

The huntin stories should be flyin in a few days.  :thumbsup:    :campfire:

Just heard from CK and it sounds like everyone is into the action. Donald Rowan pegged a boar that they claimed would go over 300# but was unrecovered after tracking for over a mile. Donald was down but wasn't giving up, in fact he, Danny Rowan and C.J. Pearson added another day to their hunt.

Donald has already taken both his Javelina and both Danny and C.J. had had numerous shot opportunities on hogs and javelina, but have yet to make the "metal meet the meat" for various reasons.

Curtis said the weather was great today and that the radio interview had gone well this morning.
Wes and his significant other left for home this morning.

He said things are really looking up for the Ted Fry group, and although it was forecast to be cold, it wouldn't be anything like what Ted would be leaving at home!
If at first you don't succeed, do it like your wife told you to, to begin with.

It was an honor for me to finally get to meet Mr. Danny Rowan. He is one super person and I count it a priviledge to have been able to spend 4 days hunting with him.

I had been anxiously awaiting this time since I spoke to Curtis this past summer when someone was asking about doing a Javie hunt in this area. Knowing that I was going to be here in the area over the Holidays I had to get in on it as well.

I woke up Dec. 26th more excited than my three girls did the day before. The time had finally arrived for me to head out to meet up with Curtis and the Rowan Twins.

It was a 4.5 hour drive from SA over to where we would be hunting. Having lived in Texas years ago and having hunted out on the cap rock,when I got to camp it really reminded me of the Lubbock area. Flat dry and dusty.
Once I got the truck unloaded and claimed my sleeping spot Curtis showed ua all maps and loaded us up and took us out to look over the area. Hog and Javie sign were all over the place.
Once we got back to camp Donnie had secided that he was going to setup a blind by a water hole and wait for the bacon. Danny and I decided to head over to another unit that showed alot of sign. We hunted that first evening without seeing anything. We decided to walk back to the windmill on the unit and see if we could see anything. As we were walking a jack rabbit ran across the road about 300 yds. ahead of us.
AS we made our way to the windmill I noticed another one and was pointing it out to Danny when I noticed he was looking at another one. It was making it to cover as quick as it could.

Danny whistled and it came to a quick stop. We shot at it and I hit it using my "new to me" bow that I had got from JC. I figured since it was everything that he described and more and shot unbelievably smooth and well I'd have to give it a name. What a better name than "Little Joe".
It was getting dark by this time and so we headed back to camp to meet up with the others and enjoy some Seafood Gumbo that my wife and mother in-law had made the day before.
