Adjam5 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Well guys it is that time again. Time for my annual Texas hunt. My 5th in as many years. I will once again be travelling to the lovely Texas Hill Country. A town called Kerrville. From Jan 31st to Feb 7th. I have a VERY good friend down there and all this hunt costs is a $38 exotic tag and airfare. Not even bringing a gun. I'll use his. Would rather use mine, but with baggage fees, the possiblity of it being banged around and lost...I'll use his. I will be hunting FREE RANGE Axis and on hog patrol. Last year I shot a good axis and this year I am hoping to shoot a better one. My trophys seem to be improving. It has been a good challenge for me to hunt these critters. Hunting over a feeder is all new to me and I do it once a year when I am down there. It creates a whole new dilemma we here in NYS never have. How do you shoot one deer at the feeder without shooting 10 of 'em? It is like threading a needle. I did it last year and the buck didn't move a lick. Last years kill. I hope I top this buck. If I don't, I know there will be does...Horns are a plus. Wish me luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Steve...I usually check in with Tink when I am down there. His home is awesome. He has not been around this board at all the last year or so...maybe even more. Gonna give him a call to maybe drop by his ranch and say hello. Also... it looks like I will be doing lunch with Charlie(Double A) once again :yes:. It will be good to see ya Charlie. Thank you for the gun use offer, but my friend has a T/C Encore in 25-06 that I will be using. Thanks everyone for the well wishes. As many know I work at Ground Zero in NYC on the Sept 11th Memorial. The job has been practically shut down. None of the subs are being paid, so the men of various trades have been pulled off the job by their companies. My boss alone is owed $26 million. So I am, as are others... being sent on a mandatory furlough. I will be out of work at least 5 weeks. We have to do 14 weeks a year of unpaid furlough( I have 7 done already). So I will be spending some of that time in the Hill Country with a good friend. If I take a Axis that is a plus. I just love being in Texas. Tim...if you are coming downstate this year to the Sportsmans Expo in Suffern. You are more than welcome to come dine again on those quite tasty backstraps. Or even if you are down this way give me a holler and I am sure we can rustle up something to grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Awesome Anthony, hope you tag a brute! I'd like to make it over to the hill country one of these days for an Axis hunt. For now, I'll stay in the eastern part of the state and chase these pesky pineywoods whitetails. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
