Ready to Go

Ready to Go - 09/22/15 10:01 PM

I'm just about all packed up and ready to hit the road for Texas tomorrow morning. I'll be hunting with Guadalupe Outfitters for Axis on Friday and Saturday. I can't do 19+ hours straight anymore, I'll be stopping once, rolling into Kerrville on Thursday. I'll be packing up the computer in a couple of hours so that I can post pictures before starting the drive back. I was scheduled for Loma Alta but after some discussion we changed it to Waring.

I know the feeling. My wife and I are heading out next month to hunt free range sika and axis near Sonora and her excitement is building every day!!! It's become contagious, and I'm really looking forward to it too.

Looking forward to hearing how it goes and seeing your pics

I just thought I'd let everyone know, I'm in my hotel for the night, with better than 2/3 rds of the trip down behind me. I'm going to get somethig to eat I might be on a little but 14 hrs makes for a long day.

Get a good nights sleep and you will be ready to roll when you get back on the road tomorrow. I'm going to bed early tonight for the same reason! Safe Travels..... Baker

Good luck! I've got faith in your outfitter. Just down the road. If id known you were in town yesterday I'd have bought your lunch.

BTW, you could have at least packed some rain!

I wanted to pack some cooler weather but it just didn't work out. We were up on the hill this morning and saw the Axis working in river bottom 400 yds away. We'll set up a pop up this evening. I'm meeting Diane for lunch, so that will be nice, it's always good to finally meet people you interact online with.

Wear your shorts, going to be a hot one. Although in the shade by the river is not a bad place to be. Kill a big one.

It's in the Guadalupe RV park on junction hwy ingram. They have a nice tree covered patio and a full bar. Nice place to unwind if you're in kerrville.
