Solana Ranch -What a ride into the New Year

[Over&Under]

Following this as it developes, and all I can say is I am very jealous...But also very happy to see the achievements on this trip,(congrats Skyler), and the success both with animals and friendships that were made!

 

[dposalski]

What an awesome experience.  Wish I was there.  Maybe someday.  Anyways, can you tell us about the knife, please?

[Bill Turner]

Awesome stories. Congrats to all, especially Michael. Wonder if you would have jumped in that fast if it had been Don's pig on the ground. Ain't sure that knife would have been big enough to handle that brute.

[Terry Green]

Stick around Bill....you'll find out about Micheal's bravery....

I'd like him as back up in a cedar break daylight or dark.

I surely miss hunting Solana...such a great place & super group of comrades!  Congrats to All.

Michael,  
Seeing the way you wheel a knife...I might have to switch sides if there is another cookie/cake war again this years    Doc

Great hunting, camaraderie, and memories!

Michael is without a bit of doubt, "The real deal"!

Friday afternoon would belong to Skyler in our group. So I'll wait for him to come on and explain a bit....

Another member of the hunt had something happen that was pretty cool as well...in a BIG way!

A lot more to come fellas!!  A LOT!!

Naw Doc. The Staus Quo is fun.


Me and Biggie and Jeff do just fine. Thank You though.


You do need to holler when you get down here. We need to go hog hunting!!!!!!

Now there's a statement that's guaranteed to make anyone who ever served at Fort Hood question your sanity.

Now Doc, don't you start thinking about being a traitor now? Or maybe your going to become a spy    
Thats for another day. Alright Sky,I have a cold one in hand and I'm waiting on some more stories.

It's awesome!   More on the KUIU clothing later.....but as you'll see in some of the pix to follow, the camo pattern absolutely devistates the human outline! [/b]

That's good to hear Curt! I'm looking forward to it coming this spring! Really want to check it out! Maybe you could do another thread just on your thoughts on how it performed.

By the way guys, this thread is pretty awesome too!!!

I didn't have much action the afternoon after my doe kill. I sat in the same stand and saw 3 button heads and a 15 inch wide 4 pointer. The following morning was slow as well, with a doe right at daylight being all that I saw.

 But that evening, everyone would be in completely new spots because of the change of wind direction. I would be hunting out of a tripod set up on a "DeathTrap" that had never been hunted before. I climbed up in the tripod and got settled in. It was a beautiful evening to be hunting. I sat for a while taking in my surroundings. After a little while, I heard what sounded like something walking behind me. I looked over my left shoulder to see three good sized hogs walking through the woods...straight for the trap. I eased up my bow up and positioned myself for a shot. The first hog walked out of the woods. It was a big, beautiful silver and grey hog that I would have loved to have shot, But she kept her distance at around 30 yards. But the second, a good sized black and brown hog, was about 18 yards, broad sided....
