Great shot Curtis!  It was a pleasure to hunt with you and all the Tradgangers that were there this week.

Craig and I really enjoyed the trip and were glad that we switched to the javi area the last day so that we could experience some of the great javi action.

The hogs were definitely there, but seemed to be pretty nocturnal during our first 3 days. But that's humting and I'm sure that many hogs will be taken by you guys that are hunting later in January and February.

Curtis does an amazing job of educating non-experienced javi/hog hunters (like us)and all I can say is listen to his advice and you can't go wrong.

It was good to see the progress he has made since the accident and his will to get game for all the hunters in camp is apparent.  Hang in there Curtis and we hope that your recovery is quick and complete.

I have a couple of pictures to post of Craig's "trophy" later.

Thanks Mac! The pleasure was all mine!  :readit:  

Way to hang in there with the hogs. It's frustrating for me when the hogs decide to do something different that I think they will. I do my best to try and stay a step ahead of them in their daily activities. Sometime they change due to weather, pressure, or whatever makes them do what they do. Sorry you guys didn't connect on a bruiser.

It was fun tracking the javelina for you guys. I can't wait to see the hero pics we took of the Pope and Young pile of hair and bone shards. Please come again soon! I really enjoyed you guys! CK

Curtis, i sent you an email over at your 7th age site. If  the weather warms up and you boys need a cooler I have a walk-in about an hour away and we have a couple of blood tracking dogs that are should be available since deer season is mostly done

Thanks for the offer Tracy! I'll certainly keep you in mind if the meat load gets heavy and the air gets warm. We keep chest freezers for meat and turn the temp up. They work fairly well.

Tracking dogs may be a service some guys would use. I'll check your email in a few. I track really well but not like a dog. Maybe we can use you in the future. Thanks for the offer. Appreciate it! CK

Headed your way in one week Curtis.  I bought two bags of corn yesterday to bring down and I am starting to put everything together to pack the truck.  What time and where do we meet you on Monday?  Is there coffee in camp?  Barry said that there is a microwave and propane stove to cook on in camp, but I forgot to ask about the coffee.
  Really looking forward to getting into camp.  Long range forcast looks great!

I'll send you a PM with directions. We have several coffee pots in camp. I'll try and remember to buy more coffee and cups. Yes, we also have a microwave and cook stove. I'll be moving in an oven/stove on Saturday or Sunday of next week. See ya there. CK

Hey Curtis, Is this the same ranch Redant 60/65 (Larry, Beachbowhunter, and I) will be hunting hogs the first week in April?

Yessir, it's the same ranch but you guys will be hunting the opposite end of the ranch from where these guys were hunting. I'm rotating pastures on each hunt so we don't reduce the populations too much. I'm not worried about hogs at all. I hunted 2 days on the section of ranch where you guys will be hunting. I shot hogs both days and would have shot more but I ran out of arrows on day 2. No worries my friend, we got HOGS!!!! REALLY BIG HOGS!!!! CK

Sweet, hope you are feeling better.  How's that new bow doing ya? It sure was a looker. I take it we'll be camping in the same area.  I just returned from Fredericksberg Texas and brought back 5 deer. I'll bring some back straps and fresh meatloaf.  Going to be a blast....

I can't wait to get down there and get after them! I got to get my packing list made today! I have drill today or I'd likely start packing right now. Gotta go do my duty now though. Keep the pics coming guys!

5 deer? Game Hog!!!!!! LOL!

I've been known to eat backstrap.....Once or twice.

That bow is still a tad heavy since I dislocated my shoulder. My rotator is torn and I'm nursing it with light bows till I get through with my hunting season. Sometime after April I'll look at getting the shoulder fixed. Right now I'm fixing things by shooting lighter bows. The Morrison will gather dust till the shoulder mends. I hate that because I really wanted to put that bow through some meat trials but she's just going to have to wait. CK

Thanks Pat! He's actually kinda small compared to what I generally see. I'll take em any way I can get um'! Here's what it looked like the morning I went out to track hogs shot the night before. This is directly out the gate of the ranch.

I think most of the hunters saw a few of these.
