Dang, those things really blend in with the terrain. Which one sprung a leak?

Terry Green · « **Reply #41 on:** March 16, 2007, 01:20:00 PM »

Yeah Mark....Up hill most of the time it seemed, but down hill was just as bad if not worst.

Here's a normal stalk path for Pecos....lots of ledge walking....

Take a close look at this pic....

Those are what I refered to as 'Spike Grenades'. And we deemed some areas as 'mine fields' they were so thick.

If you weren't careful, they'd end up in the opposite calf.

Well while Terry & Tom are sneaking in on those WWF (white wooly females/ewes)

My start was up in Boston. The week before going I had all my gear plus enough for three other TXS in a pile trying to decide what stays & what goes. So when I'm usually stuck on making a decision, I just go and pound on some hot steel. Here is a sneak of my own for the St Judes Auction. It now has all the signatures of G-1 including Mark Horn on the handle & sheath. The opposite side is awaiting G-2.

The knife is nice But the Signatures are very special. It's not the TXS 07 that they represent...It's the way TRADGANG brings together old & new friends, all equal without ego...Family

Tom and I had got on some goats the 1st day, and these were in the same area...only about 75 yards farther over the top this time.

We were putting a pretty good sneak on em even though they were coming toward us quartering off to our right.

Tom and I had made it to a row of scrubs, and was set up to let them pass.....but we weren't sure that would happen the way they were feeding along the edge of some grass. We were trying to decide, and leaning pretty hard at making an aggressive move across a wide open and barren distance to get in behind some cedars at the edge of the grass....but they were less than 100 yards away. We leaned hard, but continued to hold, as we had the wind in our favor if they passed us out of range for a stalk from the rear. No need in blowing it just yet........

Miss Kim,
I have to agree with all on the other post about your fabulous cookies...yummie! You know those bears in Quebec can be mighty cantankorous. I sure wouldn't mind watching your hubbie's backside for say another batch

Doc

We held too long, and had no choice but to wait.....and that was a good thing. They were now facing us and walking across a sheet of rock....the 8 of them turned into 16, and the 16 turned into 24....then there were about 30 of them in route to pass right by our scrub blind.

Three of them drifted to the right, including the one with the biggest horns, and were coming straight at us as the rest of the herd were in route to pass to our right.......yeah, every one would be in range soon, real soon as there was no forage in their path.

Everyone of them was now in range and all but a few were in the wide open for a shot, but the one I wanted was still in front with the brush blocking a shot. I decided to hold yet again for the one I wanted....the Billy.
