Here's the official announcment. Can't wait to do it all again! CK

Dang, I still got a Texas license.  What are the dates?  I'm off to Aiken, SC...be back the 16th.  I'll bring my snake boots back home   :scared:  Doc

That would be awesome if you came Doc! It's not written in stone yet but the first hunt should start April(sorry!correction) 26th. I'll know something solid in a day or two. Looks about full up on the first hunt with only about 3-4 spots left. There are already 7-8 Canadians coming with Dave, Eh? Better get used to the slang, Eh?   :D    LOL! Hope to see you soon Doc!   :thumbsup:    CK

yeah, Curtis...and they drink funny beer, they eat wierd but delicious pizza....they sure are nice folks though!!!

Got that right Brother!   :thumbsup:    I enjoy the heck out of our Northern cousins. I laugh till I hurt. Why don't you try and make the trip too if you aren't booked Ray. I'll trade a pig hunt with you.   :jumper:   CK

Your killin me Curtis. Dang it!

You too Steadman!  :readit:   I'll make your avitar a hog if at all possible.   :D  CK

Well, I do have to bring that shovel back to you... and I may have my new hunting shack trailer mobile by then.

TXS09.2

Sorry to have miss posted March above. Correction is Aprli 26. My BAD! Too many irons in the fire today.     CK

*pitiful whimper*

What's a good divorce lawyer cost these days?

Really, truly wish I could make it Curtis (You're killing me here Brother!) but Jules'd have my nuts for ear-rings  :(   :(   :(

:banghead:    :banghead:    :banghead:    :banghead:    :banghead:    :banghead:  

WHY do I have to be on Guam?????????????????

Ray, if'n you and Curtis trade a hunt, book me for the same weekend!

Curtis, if'n you and Ray trade a hunt, book me for the same weekend!

(Ray, I'll drive)

April in TX??? Isn't that like JULY in Georgia???  :scared:    :biglaugh:

Good Gawd Curtis look what you've started! We got the makings of Texas version of Deliverance! Eight Canadians floatin down the Pecos drinkin funny beer and out of the Mesquite pops Rob,Biggie,Doc and Ray all sportin Big Knives!!!   :scared:    :scared:    :scared:    :scared:

:scared:    :scared:    :scared:  

Man, I'm laughing just thinking about this line-up.


Rob, I think you should give the wife those new ear rings and come on.  :readit:    :D  

Yea Ray, April should be warming up. Good thing is that it makes the hogs like clock work around the water holes. Daytime activities include eating, naping, showers, more eating, and laughing at everyones funny accent. Oh yea, we have an indoor archery range.

On a side note: One night at TXS Dave was trying to talk with Roadside Assistance but Allen(English South African) answers the phone with his thick accent and hands the phone to Dave with his sharp and speedy Canadian accent. I said, "let me talk"(my minor Texas accent) she'll think we are having a NATO meeting.  :biglaugh:   I knew that woman was wondering about all the accents.

It's looking like an awesome time. Looks like we might have 4 Tradgang Houstonians too. Off to work now. I'll post details tonight on Sponsors classifieds.  CK

OK Gang, here's the official announcment and details-  

http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=48&t=000789  

I hope this works with your schedule. I look forward to serving you and sharing in some campfire tales. If you have any questions please ask them here so I can answer for everyones sake. Someone else may be wanting to ask the same question.  Thanks, CK

Here you go.. I fixed it (http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=48&t=000789)

TTT 4 CK

Man Curtis, I'd sure like to make this one. But I've got a bear hunt in June to pay for and if I went on this, My wife would have a set of earrings just like Rob's wife!  :pray:  

LD

Caddo, The earrings will look great!!!!
BTW, We need to get your dates secured for the turkey hunt. I'm doing a seminar with Mark Horne in the same time fame we spoke about. I told him I had committed a hunt to you and was waiting on final confirmation. Let m know your thoughts- cacjck@yahoo.com

Thanks Sal!

Bull-we can use a camp cook  but  we prefer one with less facial hair.    :readit:    I don't think you'd look to good in a skirt either.    :goldtooth:

TTT

There's hogs to be whacked!!

Thanks, Hunt it!  I was getting kinda confused -- couldn't tell if it was a thread about politics or pig hunting...     :readit:    :jumper:

There's a thin line...

TTT Hogs in Texas with Curtis
check out the sponsors classifieds

TTT

Still room and hogs to be whacked.

I wish I could fellas   :(

I'll be down there in June/July. I'm hoping to get in next year.

TTT. I'm sorry to have been away for several weeks now. We still need two-three hunters to fill the first group. We also have about 5 spots left for the second hunt. I hear-tell that there's going to be some special guests in attendance. Thanks for looking. CK

Do you have any openings for the may 1-3 (3 day) hunt in the second group.  I think I can slip done there for atleast 2 solid days.  Bhill

I've had a ****ty day and feel that the only way to reconcile this mess is to shoot little piggys with me bow.  (I'm not irish but what the heck) I may have a trial on the 4th or 5th but will be available May 1-3 (maybe longer if my trial falls through) if you will have me. My wife has approved it.  My credit card is still in my possession and is waiting to be charged.  I'm ready to hunt.   My cell number is 940-367-1820 Bhill

I just left Texas! And my wife already has HER earrings made so I have nothing else to give up Rob.  Sure wish I could get in on this one guys. But with the nuts gone, I think momma will have my a**!  :scared:  

Mike

Brent, Glad to have you climbing aboard. That second hunt is really getting busy. Looks like we are going to be having another Texas Sweat except in April and May. We have plenty of room in camp and on the ranch. I drove the ranch corner to corner once and clocked 20 miles. We've got plenty of room for you. Call if you need further details. 361-648-6059 I'll be on ranches all day and may have limited reception today. Leave a message if I miss you. Thanks, CK

Thanks, I will be there and just hollar at me for my deposit and such.  I'm in Denton just north of Dallas and will be leaving the thursday night before to stay with my parents that night and drive in to Laredo the 1st and leaving 3, or 4th.  If anyone is up here in the Dallas area wants to carpool for the same time, give me a call.   940-367-1820 Bhill

It depends.  What have you been charged with?      :wavey:

The only reason I'm concerned about the dates is that my lovely innoscent drug dealer felon clients get kinda sensitive and weepy when I'm in camo or fall asleep during our "meetings" with the judges and prosecutors.   They are so demanding.   As you can imagine, they will be my number 1 priority during this pig sticking expedition.  Now what was his name again.   Look forward to hunting with all of you..  Knife River, I love that picture of your daughter at full draw.  I'll bring pics of my little 5 yr old monkey with her pink recurve.  I'd post them if I knew more about these computer gadgets.

Woody, I always hold you a spot. You can let me know if you are coming the day I see you roll into camp, ok? It would be fun to go on another tracking session again although I'd prefer if the blood trail be a little shorter next time.  :D  

Brent, The Lawyers I know tend to "move" trial dates based on the best fishing and hunting dates on the lunar calender(or hunts to west texas).  :readit:    :goldtooth:   Once you start wacking pigs that trial date won't mean a thing anyway.  :D  


We still have room for a couple more guys. All-aboard!!! CK

Curtis, it wasn't that far a blood trail, was it?  Besides, I enjoyed walking to Albuquerque with ya.    :)    :wavey:

:readit:  

Brent, You have a PM. Glad to have you aboard.

FYI-Mark Horne and Jason Westbrock are on this hunt and Bob Butz from Bowhunting World is a definite maybe. CK

I'm already working on my super defense as to why I can't be at court on 5-4 and the 5th.  If that works, I will give you even more grief and money.  Ya, I know some of those jokers.  I hope Mark brings a lefty longbow for me to drool over.   Thanks   Bhill

My friend Micah and I are booked for this.

Hopefully us newbie trad guys will have a positive trad bow experience and come home with some pork.

For those of you that have to ASK PERMISSION from your wife LMBO, word of advice, book first and tell her after the fact.

When she said, "I Do", it was for better or worse, just remind her this is the worst of it  :D

:readit:  

CK

Good Luck to all that is hunting... Have Fun & Be safe.

Brent,

If it helps any I can send ya a death threat from the Mexican Cartel  :goldtooth:

What ever bring me to the party.  You know that that may not be far from the truth with where we are at on the border.   Thats why I keep my broadheads extra sharp.  
Now for the record, I didn't have to ask my wife for permission to go on this hunt.  I just threw a 5yr. old tantrum and begged alot because even I've got a little pride.
The problem with not asking my wife first is that she may start doing the same. (clarification, she will spend without asking more often then she does now) In that area and so many others, she can make me look like an amateur quick.  But I'm always open for a WMS. (wife management solution if ther is such a thing) Bhill

CK  where will we be hunting ?  I think your place is  west of  Crane Texas just south of Odessa  off of HWY 329 ?   Thanks Bhill

Brent,

Click on pg one of this post, then click on the official announcement link then scroll down to last post - Curtis has directions there. It's a great ranch - lots a hogs.

Sounds like it is shaping up to be a great hunt.Will be driving down from Colo. if anyone wants to truck pool for the May 1 hunt,or needs tent space. 719-989-0099

I saw the announcement but I could get lost in a parking lot.  Its my gift.  I think the ranch is west of crane but I originally thought it was in Laredo.  I'll be driving in from Dallas area on May 1.  If anyone is flying in and needs me to bring anything extra (like foil  ect) that would not be convenient to bring on the plane, just send me a pm.  I'm getting excited.  Bhill

Good to know you guys are getting things worked out. Looks like we'll have a couple special guests on the first hunt too. Ed from Alaska Bowhunting Supply will be in attendance along with a big possibility of Dr Ed Ashby hanging out in camp too if he can get back from Pope and Young banquet in time. This ought to be an awesome time. CK

TTT Still room.

Curtis just called and wanted me to pass on a few things:

1) If you are scared of snakes, you may want to bring some boots.

2) If you need to get in touch with him, leave a message on his cell and he'll back as soon as he gets to a spot with a signal.
