TEXAS SWEAT 06 ...Tales of the Hunts...Clips start pg 8

[JC]

Guys, been so overwhelmed with work I haven't had a spare minute....came back to a wife with a double sinus infection so a little busy at home to. Sorry for the delay:

Krister, really enjoyed your company and the list of your learning experience is priceless! Hope we get to hunt together again.

Tippit....we felt like fools when we stepped off the shuttle and walked inside....only to realize you didn't get off there because you were on another airline. I truly enjoyed your company and sorry I did not get to shake your hand and give you a more sincere goodbye.

Ferret, that's my big but in 1/2 stalk mode...maybe if I'd have turned it full up I could have gotten closer    

Here's a quick, story until I get more time....

Kyle and I had each had a great day of hunting Thursday afternoon and sat around the picnic table talking to Gary (don't call him Mr. Kellar) about the number of frogs he had seen around the pond right behind the camp. Gary grabbed his vid camera....kyle and I our weapons of frog destruction....and off we went. Lemme tell ya fellers, a nutter don't stop no frog unless you hit em in the eyeball! First one swam to the depths with Kyle's priceless prized gold plated nutter    Course the second one got about a 600gr, tradepoint broadhead right through the eyes! Ol Kyle laid the smack down, on em, mostly with a homemade broadheads....so he lost no more. We were slippin up on the king of the pond and he jumped before Kyle could get drawn....wish we had gotten that one....he looked like the reason we saw no snakes in that pond. The hex's on the heavy carbons pinned the bulls to the mud pretty well....I only had to get to the water quick for one that got hit a little low in the head. Hit em in the eye or the ear and they don't go anywhere (mainly cause they are pinned) but frogs don't really have an "off". You handle em like they are live or a dead one just might jump out of your hands!   :eek:  

 

I soaked em overnight and cooked em Friday for lunch dredged in flour and egg, fried up in skillet with oil, onion and a lil spices. Can't speak for how well the fellers liked em, but there weren't any left.

Yeah I couldn't believe it when that dadgummed frog hopped off with my nutter THRU him.  Anyways, that was a LOT of fun and hope we all get to see some of that video.  JC put the smackdown on 'em with his bunny ninja death stars and I put the trade point hurtin to 'em.  

Yeah JC, that one I hit just right never flinched did he?  just sorta laid there.

I did get that nutter back tho.  It was found two days later by someone.  that's one TOUGH frog.

Just got in from surgery at the clinic and brought some suture material home to ship to Curtis.  We had Surgery 101 class cause he wanted to be prepared for future hog lacerations.  I got him a pack of fine material for himself and some Heavier stuff for his friends that he needs to stitch up LOL...Doc

With the full moon out, did anybody try night hunting for anything besides frogs?

I've always thought that would be cool to do and it's definitely not allowed here.

Terry,

These boys gotta remember the small ones are harder to hit.   :D  
Dang fine shootin for sure and certainly I'd rather eat veal than some old steer any day.  

[tippit]

My first afternoon in Texas started with a stalk on 3 javies as slow walker and I busted them off a pile of corn on the road.  It only took them about 5 minutes to come back on the corn, so we each took a side of the road to sneak in.  When I got to 15 yards 2 were gone only to show up 5 feet behind me in stuff to thick to shoot thru.  The 3rd was broadside and my arrow did a nice arch right over it's back...not the last time I'd be high    Lesson 1 on javies...Doc

[herb haines]

Jc recoganized you too  :D  looks like the little tooth poppers were as plentiful as Bunnies used to be  :(  , you guys sure had fun --- herb

[KrEn]

Marvin,

I guess people were quite happy after hunting and stalking all day.
Most probably felt there were enough opportunities during the day.
Some spent the evenings retrieving shot animals.

For me, sneaking around in the dark in dense Pricly Pear and Mesquite full of rattlesnakes  :eek:  wasnt really tempting. They really scare me.

- You see something, just whack it"

[Marvin M.]

I understand Krister.  Just wondering.  

That has always seemed like fun to me -- to be out there when they are the most active and try to take them on their own terms.

I'm OK around snakes -- unless they are stalking me anyway.

[Terry Green]

OK Krister........you're on!

 

[kyle]

Everybody clap.  I think that's Krister's first bow kill.

[Terry Green]

Yeah...and it was a heart shot at that!!!!!!

 

[JC]

With a borrowed bow no less!!!!  

[CheapShot]

Thanks for taking us along with you. Looks like everyone had more fun than they deserve. I would have liked to have tried some of JC's frog legs. It's been a long time since I brought a mess home. My first trad kill was a rabbit too krister. Good job they can be hard to hit.    

[David M. Mathis]

Terry is that a 3 legged javie you killed or I'm I looking at it wrong? Way to go Kister.

[Terry Green]

David...I think the front legs were just stacked in that photo ....he had all four legs.

[Jason R. Wesbrock]

Everybody clap. I think that's Krister's first bow kill.

1st or 101st, I don't care...that's one heck of an impressive shot!!!  

[kyle]
