Stx was busy hunting deer so I filled the gap.

Here are some pics I took of the surrounding countryside

Some views of the mountains in the distance. This ranch was at the base of a mountain range to our south and west





some kind of extra spiny west texas cactus. they have 3x the number of needles a normal pear cactus has



this is some rough, unforgiving country. animals that survive this harsh terrain are the fittest of the pack





For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

the place is pretty rough looking during the day, but in the evening it takes on another form and you can feel the magic of the desert overcoming the landscape




we hiked to the top of the mountain in the background....good exercise. on the very top of the mountain we kicked up a cottontail...he was either very wise or very lost

was glassing on top of a high hill and sat for about an hour. no luck so I stood up and these guys were 40 yards away. I think they heard us talking and wandered over to see what was going on
