I figured someone would have started this thread by now as they are wrapping up week one.

Anyhow, hopefully we'll get some great stories and pics on this thread...

I wasn't able to make it, long story and you can read it here if interested...

Glad to hear you're feeling better Terry. With the nasty weather around the country, getting there would have been the hardest part. Hopefully they've been killin' stuff !

[Terry Green]

I just just talked to 2  guys and yes.Two guys have had success on javalina, and they had a roundabout with some hogs also

[Terry Green]

I know of 4 javies that were taken.

Happy to hear you are doing better Terry. Nasty bugs going around for sure.


Hoping to hear some great stories from Laredo in the very near future.

Yeah, jim week two.Just wrapped up waiting to hear from that group the hunted across the street.

I was also happy to hear that three of the four javilina that were killed the first week were killed in the spot where I hunt.

Terry, glad you're feeling better, good luck with the house sale.  Pretty sure there isn't a better play by play announcer for this until everyone starts chiming in.

There were no kills week two. He was reported that the weather and the wind were terrible. There were also a lot of hog stalks at night that got foil'd by the wind. That's pretty much all I know at this time.

[Terry Green]

No animals were harmed during week two.  Smoking Joe said the weather was terrible and the wind was very swirly. You said you couldn't close in on a stalk for the wind busting you.

[Terry Green]

Joe sent me a couple of pictures of hogs he's chasing at night. One big sow and one big boar.

Let's wish him luck!

[STICKBENDER98]

Good luck to Joe, that ole boar has quite the mowhawk!!! Either one is going to be a delicious trophy!!!

Congrats James!

I might as well get this over with...  there will not be a two thousand and twenty seven hunt on this ranch.  Too many people backed out at the last minute. Now, the outfitter does not want to run Tradgang hunts due to loss of money from people backing out. In the last three weeks, four people have bailed on the third week of this hunt.

So maybe we'll find somewhere else, maybe we won't. I will be a inspecting other properties, but we will not have 3 hunts. We will not have 2. We will have one hunt and those that have been before get first dibs.

I can assure you that if I find another place, it will be an ace.

Sorry to hear that the LTR hunts on this ranch are coming to an end Terry.  I've been the last three years and had a blast every time.  Met a lot of great people and one jackwagon, but you're always going to have one.  One suggestion I would make Terry, if you find a new property, is require half down as deposit to book the hunt.  Most outfitters require half down to reserve a spot.  $200 is just too easy to walk away from.
Good luck to the guys in camp this week and good luck Joe!  Hope you can slip an arrow through one of those big hogs!   

[Terry Green]

Thanks Gary. Yes it has been a blast. I have lots of fond memories and also meeting lots of people.
