Hope it was accidental, he wasn't shot was he Mike?? He just got hung up in the fence??? Still a sad deal, would hate to hear he was shot at, though.

Nope, he just got top wired. I'm kinda damned if i do and damned if i don't. I really don't want to go high fence, but it's about the same for me to just add another 4 ft of sheep wire as it is for me to rebuild my top wires. It's the labour, not the materials.

Roy!, i made a mistake on my directions, they sold out again and it's changed names. The name on the sign is China Grove Gathering System. Just remember it's 3 miles on the right after you turn on to 821. Just follow that road to the pens, set up across from the pens. From Wal-Mart it's only 11 miles to the 821 turn off. My original mileage was from the house.

Dont worry I will get em there Mike

Sorry to hear about the 2 year old, is that a common problem, Has it happened before?

Only 51 3/4 hours till I start the drive.

Pretty common in this area, most ranchers use 4 ft of sheep wire and then 2 strands of barb wire across the top. I lose 1-2 deer a year.

DPS has been notified. They've sworn to keep both west bound lanes of I20 clear.

Thanks b/c west bound & down will be an understatement, I'm going to sneak around some back roads until I get to Abilene, then slow down enough to stay out of jail on I20.

Have you guys forgot something November 11th???????? Veterans Day???? Now how cool is that??? These guys will be hunting on the day THEY really deserve

No we haven't forgot the day, It is reseved for our Brothers In Arms. God Bless Them, This year is a very special one, First My youngest son is now a Veteran and back home from Iraq, and second to remember all the young man &women serving our country now, Overseas and here at Home. Third this hunt with Mike & Roy with my brothers in Arms.On November 11th at 1200hrs we need to have a moment in silence for our brothers in spirit, for they are the true Hero's in my book.

You guys cut that out.... I can't read the blueprints on my desk through the water.

Looks like my daughter will be receiving her orders to go over next year. She mentioned the writing may be on the wall already from the scuttlebutt going around her base.

God Bless And Be With Our Troops!!

After i got through feeding last night i sat about 200 yrds from my far west blind. Had 2 little 6's and a big wide 10 show up. I think the 10 may go over 140, he was wondering where you were. I told him not to be impatient. Other than allot of rubs and a few scraps, not much sign of the rut.

TheHag, I'm truly sorry for you and yours, but Please tell your daughter Thank-you from us, She is doing the hardest duty for us that she can possibly do. During her tour next year will be the longest year you'll ever have, I KNOW WHEN MY SON MADE THE FIRST TRIP ALL I COULD THANK OF, WAS WISHING I COULD GO IN HIS PLACE, Having seen combat myself I didn't want our young man too have to go thourgh it.He has made three trips and is now out of the service. BUT WE WILL support those young men & woman AT ALL TIMES. IF YOU COULD PM ME WITH HER ADDRESS I'LL HAVE HER UNIT PLACED ON OUR CARE PACKAGE LIST, it's not much just a little touch of home while they are overthere protecting us.

God Bless

Mike that's great news,, almost time now, I would say only one wake-up, but who's going to get any sleep any way???
Looking forward to the hunt and the campfire.

HWY_MAN,
Thanks for looking into there agenda for us. I am sure we can change their place of residence pretttty quick. Tell them not to worry because we will be there reeeeeal soon!
I am about 10 foot off the ground just dying to get underway.
When we get there we will try to give them a good thumping for sure.
Just hope they don’t fall in love with any of your distant neighbors before we get there. Looking forward to the campfire, stars, and peace and quite of the country for a change.
James

Hope You'll do well and have a Happy Veterans Day!

The daughter doesn't know where she may be going yet. They've been sending her to some special training classes here lately. She's medical (histopathology, blood borne infections, chemical infections and stuff) in the USAF and so who knows where she may go. She's out in California now at Travis. We're just worried about the 2 year old granddaughter if and when it happens with the baby having a butthead for a father.

All you vets out there,,,, thank you and may you have a wonderful Veterans day.

Good luck guys on the hunt. It doesn't matter if a deer is going in the freezer or not... it's all the companionship and memories made in the field. You guys honk as you drive by Abilene on the way out there. Only 100 miles from the front door of my office to his place.

Special...that's about it in a nutshell. God Bless her and all of them.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours Hag.

As far as the butthead...well, I can't say it here...

Well.............If the above threads don't mean much to a person....not much does. This is the most important hunt I will be on this year, and possibly in my entire life without a doubt. I have never, ever seen such a great class of men in TeamHillbilly, jeh and Ran. They sit here and thank us for taking them out on a hunt, but WE should be thanking them everyday, for the freedoms we have. The cedar isn't bothering me, it's the mesquite that has my eyes watering(yeah right). I look forward to sharing good times at camp, and more so when they shoot that nice deer. Sounds like Mike has seen some nice ones already, hope they connect. If anyone needs to be thanked, it is Mike. He was more then generous and willingly in this hunt. Like I stated, Randy, Bob and James it will be an honor to be IN your hunting camp. I look forward to more of these hunts with you guys, for sure

Are we there YET????????? All of you have my contact numbers, correct???? More so my cell phone number???

Mike & Roy- Thanks for making this possible.

Okay guys I'm west bound, when I get this last pot of coffee finished James & Roy I have the cell with me I'll send the number before pulling out. All looks good for the weekend, I'm headed to the cactus pasture.

James & Ran take it easy on the drive you need to get there in one piece

Are we there yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be careful on the drive Bob. I will see you in the AM at Wally World in Big Spring

"Roger that"
