Putnam Texas Dove

It was increddible!

Saw over 5000 birds easy

Yeppers, same powerline

Good times

Appetizers:

Fried oysters
Devil eggs
Fried quail
Fried frog legs

And what are you holding in your right hand? Gives a new meaning to reach out and touch someone.

Thats called a boom stick

Slept 4 hours
Back at it
Expecting to see 10000 birds plus like the guide saw yesterday

Glad i ate last nite
Food was 5 star
12 ounce filet and salad

That's dove hunting in style. Very nice.

Rich guy hunting. Something I'll never do, but very nice.

I was invited by a Client.
Didnt have to pay except tips to the guide and food.
Will be back next saturday just for the hunt. No food nor lodging
Went this morning and another easy limit.

This am: they started flying at 7:10 till 9 am
Done by 7:35
Thousands

those birds w/xtra spots and white-edged feathers were yolks and whites only a few weeks ago.
I met a guy from Putnam long ago..
nice place..

Why not? Do you like good food? Do like to have a nice place to stay? Do you like shooting dove?

I like good food
I like staying at nice places when I can
I like shooting dove

Put them all together and I'd say you have a heck of weekend.

It's not something I would do all the time but I sure as heck would have a good time if someone took me.

I love all that stuff but I have to do it in my old RV.

Looks really nice.

Looks like an amazing place to hunt. What is the name of the outfit?

Greystone castle

I will go back there this saturday just for the afternoon hunt (no pricy lodging/dinner this time)
They still have thousands of birds in that sunflower field. Only real foodsource within 5 mile radius helps.
I will try the new york hill restaurant in thurber right next tonthe castle entrance. They seem to have good affordable food and a ton of history. Thurber used to be the largest population between fort worth and el paso due to coalmining and bricks. All bricks built at the stockyards came from there. Population got to 10000 people with 42 different nationalities. Then the mines closed and some bikergangs took over. Now population is 4.

Never seen a 3 barreld shotgun before....

Chiapa made in turkey by muslims i guess

You are staying at a place in Thurber but hunting a property 50 miles east near Putnam?

Yes. The place in thurber has 10 doves flying around. The place in putnam over 3000 as of today, so i dont mind the extra 50 miles to mini argentina

How much for just an afternoon hunt?

High dollar $150, but worth every penny of it. There are so many dove that you can pick the high ones or shoot very small calibers

Thanks Beav, I looked it up and it looks amazing. Closer to DFW than I would have thought. Looks like a great place to bring the wife for a special weekend hunt. She loves castles
