Bob any chance you can work a deal for a Father/son package?

By the way, tell them I care nothing about the deer, I'm done with aiming at the ground to hit Texas whitetails.

Anyone...anyone??

Where in Texas is it, what are the particulars about room & board, facilities to hang meat, local services (like meat packing), cost, etc? I've never been to Solana and might be interested but I don't even know where it is. Texas is a big place! From the summary of last year's hunt it certainly looks like a blast.

Ditto for me...also interested, but I need details.

Terry Green · April 21, 2009, 08:56:00 PM

John and others.....there's some info on the link Gregg posted....and I'll have Bob email you guys the rest of the info.

Joe...I'll follow up with Bob soon as I get a hold of him.

John...I'll call you tomorrow.

Here's the answer to the meat hanging facility....

I pm'd Bob this morning, waiting for reply.
looking for the goods also.

Terry Green · April 21, 2009, 11:00:00 PM

Sorry...had to run a minute ago....

The ranch is about an hour north of Austin, and its 10,000 acres of cattle ranch. The cost is $1200 for the 4 days....hunting, food, and lodging.

You get all the hogs you can kill and 2 does for free.

Bucks do have a trophy fee. Not sure what they are now, but it was $400 for a 9 point or smaller, $600 for a 10 or 11 pointer, $800 for a 12 pointer and over, and a fee for a drop tine...I 'think' its $200.

A $500 deposit is required ASAP if you want in on this hunt.

I've been hunting there 6 seasons....Its a very special place that's hard to describe unless you have experienced it. The property is in the hill country...some of the prettiest part of TX you'll find, and food is great including steak night Saturday night, and the folks that run it are salt of the earth......and just look at the link I posted on page 1....there is plenty of game!

Once again....come join us!

I am very interested in coming out from California to join the fun and meet some fellow Tradgangers. I may have a buddy or two wanting to come as well if there are enough spots left. I will contact Bob right away.

Terry Green · April 22, 2009, 05:21:00 PM

Chris Surtees · April 23, 2009, 12:55:00 AM

Don and Sky, wish y'all were coming this year but at least I will get to meet both of you in September.

Gregg, Hopefully I will link up with you at the club this year before the Solana hunt.

Can not wait for it to get here! Looking forward to sharing a camp with some fellow TGer's.
