Great stories, guys!  I was there, but I like to hear them again.

Gregg, you nailed it.  Those Solana guides are some good ole boys.

The old order is passing. Swiftly receding into memory are the days of strong, earnest men who followed an atavistic yearning to pit their skills against wild animals.

I'll say a little more...and post some more scenery stand pics in the AM....but here's a little for now.

Didn't mean to get broadside earlier....but I'm human.

This hunt is a lot more than folks realize...there were 18 of us hunting and there's a LOT going on.  More than usual for a group hunt due to several reasons.

Lots of hunters....

Target rich environment...

Lots of stories being shared with those in your truck, and then those in the other 3 trucks....

Animals being tracked after late breakfast, and after dinner...

Photo shoots going on all the time....

Stand moving due to changing wind....

Riding the ranch mid day to have a look see of activity at other stands and enjoy the beauty of the land.

Strategizing with the guides on who is best for what stand...

Strategizing on what stand for the next hunts wind...

Eating Jim Simpson's gourmet meals...including 2nds and 3rds most of the time....

Re-prepping for the next hunt...

Mid day target practice....

Taking care of game...gutting, skinning, quartering and capping.

Late night camaraderie....

Listening to stories after all is settled in the evening from others you missed and entertaining stories from our guides....these are all priceless.

I'm sure I left out something...or a few more somethings.

This ranch, its staff, its land, and this hunt is really something special....that's why I've been going back year after year since before TradGang was started.  Soon as you leave the ranch, its calling you back in a deep way.

If you haven't ever been, its   IMPOSSIBLE  to understand.

Amen Terry, I missed you all this year!  

Next year I'll be living in San Antonio so I may not have any tags left by the time this hunt rolls around...  I'll be there for a day visit though if I am tagged out...

Oh, Izzy, are your Silver Flames the original or XL width?  Just curious, that was an impressive blood trail on that first hog either way!
