What u recon carpenters wages are down there.
I'm ready for a job where someone else deals with the morons.
Pretty girls is an understatement, down home country girls. Perfect!

I'll do some recon on carpenters wages, matter of fact I have a friend down the road who's a builder.

Work here for 9 months and head out West for 3 !

Lots of building going on around here so work would not be an issue.

Just think about having javelinas and exotics only 6-7 hours away.  Okay, Okay I'll stop.

How I can drill a snake in the head and completely miss a javelina is beyond me ?  Maybe if I were scared of the jvaelina I would shoot better.

 

Is 42# enough for rattlesnakes ? Today it was.
 

485 grain ACC with modified Hex Head

Luck Man's shooting stick. 64" PLX 42# @ 28" with ACC shafts and STOS broadheads, 485 grains total.


 

What to do now ?  Eat more supper, drink beer or give RAWHIDE more shooting lessons.

Hey there Lucky man. Should have some hogs figured out in a couple weeks. If so we will have to slip over to the secret hole and stob a few. Going over ther in the morning to do a little more scouting..

Sounds like a plan Jamie, let me know and we'll get after'em.  Always ready to chase pigs.

Wish I could make Vanderpool ?  Going to Chester for sure.

Simmons TigerShark 135 grains precisely placed by RAWHIDE from a 60# Thunderstick, we did'nt have to look for this one.

 


Some of the local flora, be careful where you sit !

 


Dont get much better than this, a South Texas sunset.

 


Pope and Young mesquite limb, one of many for Lucky Man.  Notice the ground and it had rained heavy 2 days before, imagine what it will look like in July.

I have'nt forgotten about you RAWSHAFT, had a full truckload last time down.  Will give you a shout next time we go.

The same gang plans on going down next year during Spring Break, I think everyone is hooked on South Texas.

How was you DEERMAN Shoot ?  The Rhinehart 100 was a blast and I'll be posting some pictures on a new thread.

Boy I tell ya, meeting Jack Holder and Joe Mathews was one of the many highlights of the trip for me. Those two have been friends for a long time and it shows. The Rhinehart 100 shoot was awesome, the targets are unique so you wonder what the next one is gonna be.
Did anyone get any pics. of the girls shooting in front of us? NICE !
Next year we're doing the whole course. I hope the scenery is as nice the next time.
