Father-Son Bunny hunt.... We're back-pics page 3
« on: July 16, 2007, 06:22:00 PM »
I wanted to test the waters and see if there are any Father/Son combo's looking to hunt the heat. I've recently acquired a great small game ranch outside of Odessa, Texas. I need to get down there and start working on the ranch. While I am there working I'd like to have a few guests to share the ranch with. I have a great small game population consisting of jack rabbits and desert cottontails. I'd like to see some of our young up-n-coming hunters come down with their Dads to shoot some game and enjoy the sport. We also have a good population of hogs to pursuit as well.

I plan on keeping pricing to a minimum for this hunt if there is enough interest. Probably $125 per day for one Father and one son/daughter. You'd be able to shoot hogs, small game, and varmits for this fee. There is lodging available with shower and toiletry. I'd be looking at dates within the next two to three weeks. Post here and we'll see how many people would be interested. Thanks! Curtis

I also have an older gentleman which owns and uses hog dogs on an adjacent ranch. You'll be able to utilize his night-time services for an aditional fee. Delbert's dogs are top notch and a hog catch is almost guaranteed. Most nights Delbert catches 3-10 hogs on average. CK

OK, Lets set some dates and see what works for everyone. How about a three day hunt begining at noon on August 9- noon on August 12. Also, we have no ceiling on how many guys can attend. I now have 97 square miles under one ranch ownership. It's all yours to play on. You've just got to make the trip.

If these dates don't work for you and you'd attend on a different set of dates just post what would work. I'll do whatever I can to make this work for the majority. CK

talking to my dad about dates, I think we might go to this one, we have never gone bow hunting and this would be a great first trip, does the price include licences?

License fees are $45 per person and are not included. I think youth are different as far as license requirments are concerned. I'll have to do some checking.

Mr Kellar has email? I hope Dad is checking mail.
  :saywhat:   Heeheeee! I forgot, he isn't "Mr" Kellar either. LOL! Please hold the Misters. I'm Curtis and my Dad is Gary. It's the way we older kids like it.  :goldtooth:   I'll go check mail now. CK

MAn that sounds like a great time. Unfortunatly I can't make it happen. My daughter (11) would love that. It would make the younger kids upset but I'm sure it would be fun.  

Is this going to be a one time thing or you thinking about doing it next year? Or waiting to see how things go. TX is a ways for me but it sounds like fun.

Maybe next year, if you can move it up a tad.  My son will be in school by then, and with the drive we couldn't pull it off.

CK,
I have 3 boys that would love to shoot at some bunnies, unfortunately (well maybe not too unfortunate) I will be in Africa on those dates.  I would certainly love to do something another time.

This is something I've though several year about. Yes, I want to create an annual event for Parents and their kids in which fun in the sport of hunting archery is the center of the event. I've wanted to do a bunny hunt especially. I've now got the right ranches for the event. I just need kids. If any of you guys have a different set of dates that will work just say so. I'M DOING THIS EVENT even if it's just for one father and one son. CK  :banghead:

Heck Ian, just set your own dates. Looks like it's just us so far. Can't wait to way-lay a pile of bunnies. CK

my dad has not shot a bow in a loooooooong time, and all we do is gun hunt so far, so this will be our first real bow hunt, I'll talk to him today, he travels a lot in his work and it might be too early to tell when we could go, I start school in a month, so if it happens, it will probably be before then
