Spent a few days running dogs for a great group of guys just north of Noodle,TX this weekend and not only did we have a crazy good hunt, to top it off we killed a banded Bob. The ranch owner is going to get it mounted and put it in the ranch house. I'll post up some pictures of our hunt later we are on the road home now.  
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

I called and left a message at RPQRR. Haven't heard back yet. They have been shot up to 23 miles from there. This ranch is probably closer to 30 miles away,hopefully they'll call me back tomorrow.

The research ranch has done some trans-relocation but not sure if it's anywhere near you?

Based on the band that bird is definately from RPQRR or a release site. Let us know what they say.

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Update: just talked to Bradley at RPQRR and he said the bird was banded there in the Fall of 2015 and was a juvenile then. He said it was the furthest reported banded bird from the ranch. We beat the record by about 3 miles at 26.5 miles. Pretty much tops off one of the best weekends of hunting in my life so far. I meant to bring my camera to work and download pictures but forgot it. I will get some posted this evening or tomorrow morning.

Thats cool.
Cant wait to see the other pictures of the hunt.
Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden.
