TxMaverick,

   One of the ranches is a corporate ranch owned by a friend here in LaPorte. The other ranch we hunted is his personal ranch. Close to Will Calcotts place on 83.  
I was really surprised that the dogs held up as well as they did.  ~ 20 miles on the ground on 3 of the dogs, their collars read 41  miles, but some of that was riding on the mule to the various feeders and water tanks.  I fully expected their pads to be blown within the first couple hours.  I would have liked to shut down a few more, but I guess that's hunting.   I have been told by a number of people that it takes the dogs a bit to get used to hunting in that area. We had better luck on the property with less shin oak.
