The next day Jeff 'tippit' Springer wanted to go with Tom and I, and I wanted to see what all I hadn't in that area, so the 3 of us set out.  The goal was to get Jeff a goat, and see what other critters we could get on.

Here's a few pics of our hunt.......

First night we all met at Del Rio...was a blast...had a bit of mexican food down a lil alley from the motel. Yep, an alley in Del rio texas...did I mention we had quite the adventure this whole trip?  :rolleyes:  

Lots of great conversation and getting to know the few fellers I hadn't met yet. The trip to the ranch the next day was uneventful, except for short stop at wallyworld for snack supplies and ice and then on to Langtry where we stretched our legs.

 

An hour and a half down the dirt road and well outta cell range, we made our way to the ranch. On the way, the guys made a big deal about a sign I had to stop and take a pic of...somehow I missed that I owned a ranch way out hear in the middle of nowhere....

Great pictures Terry ! Looks like some real tough spot and stalk hunting.  Are the goats good table fare?

Hey JC,

Did you guys see the Texas speed trap on up the road from your ranch? Four diamondbacks flattened in the road. I took pics but can't post them till I get to work Monday.

The first afternoon, last saturday, we hit the ranch running. We were all suited up and geared ready to go within an hour...an orientation from Curtis and off we went.

I had the pleasure of hunting with Ted Fry that afternoon. We slipped down a heavily used trail that ran along the scenic Pecos river. Our hope was to find hogs or javelina the first day. While there was a walkable trail along the river, the second of our team had to bushwack through some pretty heavy cover as we paralleled, only to intersect at senderos every few hundred yards.

 

Everything had a thorn or spine...so after a couple of senderos crossed, Ted offered to switch with me and my river trail   :biglaugh:  

 

We found lots of sign, all old. We did manage to jump a few deer. One I got to within about 10 yards when my hair stood up on my neck from being watched. I happened to see her ear waggle before she blew out of her bed...it was encouraging to get that close in such heavy cover.

After much walking, we found a lone shade for a bit of a rest. I'm sure Ted will be happy to post a picture of me taking a break to pull cactus spines, so here's one of Ted hard at work...

 

We had a good talk sitting there under the tree. Ted is an open and honest man, a man with the frailty of human nature that makes mistakes and the courage of few to own up to them and move on. I immediately felt a kindred spirit with Ted and his outlook on life and priorities. I'm truly proud to call Ted a friend now and look forward to many more hunts with him.

That's what Texas sweat is all about really... the making of new friends and solidification of old friendships. It was good to be back in the same situation as previous years...

As the first evening fell, we made our way back to camp with Mel "Irish". He had seen some goats but couldn't make it happen. Ted and I found no game, but a new friendship made, gave us reason to smile as we walked anyway.
