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

Congrats on your hunt and Mule Deer. Really Nice pictures and story. The Chihuahuan Desert. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chihuahuan_Desert. A Harsh place but if you have been there you will love it and never forget it.
