Title: The countdown has started! Post by: WayOutWest on January 24, 2017, 12:03:52 am I'll be putting everything together and heading for Texas in 2 weeks. I have the new place comfortable enuff for the wife to hold things down while I'm gone. Time to get after some hogs. I will be bringing Gus again and the new prospect catchdog Darlin. She gives me some good indications that she will become a decent catchdog. She's pretty smart and just turned a year. She weighs in at 50# and is built to move. Hopin for a good month of hunting! Don't catch them all before I get there!

Title: Re: The countdown has started! Post by: WayOutWest on January 25, 2017, 12:51:04 am Yup, I do plan on being in Georgetown for that show. I plan on donating the knife I made for myself last year for the ADBA Scholarship fund. Those have been pretty good raffles. Slim, if we run outta hogs in Milam County I'll head on over. Thanks for the offer!
Title: Re: The countdown has started! Post by: charles on January 30, 2017, 08:21:22 pm Be safe on them roads mr. joel. Them passes have gotten hammered with snow and ice, which im sure you know. I didnt make it up there this winter and with the crappy weather and im glad i didnt drive up there for chits n grins. Maybe we can link up n talk unlike the last time when we were both on a time clock.
Title: Re: The countdown has started! Post by: WayOutWest on January 31, 2017, 12:33:00 pm Thanks Charles, I am always concerned about the roads this time of year. I will be rolling in my Ranger instead of the Superduty. If it is real bad I may have to adjust the route but hopefully not. I will be down till early March, I would enjoy jawin with you. It has been the busiest year of my life. I am looking forward to some huntin and spending time in Texas.
Title: Re: The countdown has started! Post by: charles on January 31, 2017, 04:56:19 pm When we left florida in early dec, i wanted to take the north route to keep from going through commifornia but with the weather like it was and 84 closed between boise and la grande, i figured if i balled $200,000 in equipment, i wouldnt have a job when i got back.
Title: Re: The countdown has started! Post by: WayOutWest on February 06, 2017, 07:20:38 pm The truck is packed except for the dogs so will load up and get outta here in the morning. Weather permitting I will be in Texas by Wed. night. YEEEEEHAAAA!!! Time to get outta this snow!
Title: Re: The countdown has started! Post by: gary fuller on February 06, 2017, 11:32:09 pm you have a safe and fun trip sir. i wish i had gotten myself to texas for some huntin before i let myself get so out of shape. look forward to reports of your trip/huntin.
Title: Re: The countdown has started! Post by: Mike on February 07, 2017, 12:21:24 pm Might as well stay home... looks like TShelly and his bunch caught all the hogs in Texas haha.
Title: Re: The countdown has started! Post by: justincorbell on February 07, 2017, 01:20:23 pm ^^^ Thats no lie!!! :D
Title: Re: The countdown has started! Post by: WayOutWest on February 07, 2017, 05:10:16 pm Well, this trip hit a snag in Eastern OR. 6 semi's tangled between La Grand and Baker City and there are no good alternative routes so I spend the night here. Dang it, but since there are no hogs left maybe I should just turn around.
