GB,
After reading your last post regarding the Doc Contender's experience at the -B ranch, and after looking over their website, I am curious as to the following:
Doc was there and seemed to like it pretty well.
Have you been there also, or are you speaking from years of experience in Texas? :roll:
Also, was wondering how you arrived at the conclusion that 500 acres might not be much of a challenge.
From my near 30 years of experience hunting, all in Texas, I can tell you from from firsthand, Elmer Keith style "I was there" knowledge that 500 acres of guajillo, mesquite, white and black brush would provide plenty of challenge to anyone looking to find animals that know their home territory better than you, me, or anyone else.
I wonder if the guy that took that Axis mention waited for a big one, or just took the first one that walked out. Either way I figure, to him, it must have been worth it or he wouldn't have shot it. Knockin a hunting place based on photographs seems kind of like judging a book by it's cover.
I have looked over webpages for several ranches in Texas and would be curious as to what anyone who has hunted in Texas has to say about their experiences. Anyone else besides Doc hunted at the -B, or somewhere else in Texas? I am always looking for new spots to try out. I think I'll give the -B Ranch a try this year, and let you know how it turns out.
Best regards,
PLATO
