I've been known to roll a tortilla up and eat it with my chili. Also, I'll eat a bfast taco Saturday. Planned to go kinda lite late in the morning, though (as was mentioned earlier) if we're eating BBQ at noon. I could dang sure do one Sunday, if there's any left.

I forgot about the BBQ at noon.........

We normally eat breakfast after the morning hunt, but I could get up early and fix it unless everyone want to wait and have the tacos Sunday.

I vote we get Tomme up early to fix it since he is such a self proclaimed early riser;)

I am pretty much just a coffee guy in the morning.

You get me up early and it will be death from below!

Well it's looking like the winds are going to turn back to the SE by Saturday.............:)

Be safe on your travel gents.......see you on the flip side!

Same to all. Better late than not at all.

I will have a map at the gate (it's really not that hard to get to camp). If you have trouble call me at 254-541-1146.

Good luck this weekend

No reports yet. How did the hunt go?

Well I'm back. Happy to report we all survived the cold (it was 11 degrees Saturday morning). I think instead of the LSBA Mid-Winter Meat Hunt we ought to call it the LSBA Mid-Winter "Frozen" Meat Hunt as it was chilly. Only a small heater in the fifth wheeler that Brandon and I were in and I don't think my sleeping bag was cold rated for the room.

Fun group and we all had a good time. We ate way too much as we all chipped in on the meals. Mule deer chili, venison burgers, sausage and redfish on the half shell, and more breakfast tacos than you could eat. We also went into town for a complimentery Bar-B-Q dinner (Thanks JP) at the youth Livestock show. Based on how much trouble I had getting my belt to tighten on the camo, I think I put on weight.

As to the hunting, it was tough. They didn't move much at all Friday night, but we began seeing em starting Sat morning. Three shots were taken, including one by yours truly, but nothing went into the ice chest. We did have one late night tracking experience on Brandon's deer, but since he found his arrow the next morning and it was clean, we've about decided that the blood trail we were following was "sheep afterbirth". Now that phanom tracking experience was a new one.

Even with the lack of success, it was a great hunt and I'd be happy to hunt again with any you guys .

I will totally agree with this statement, it was a great weekend!!!!!!!

As for the deer, the ones we saw acted more like Spider Monkeys hopped up on Mountain Dew than deer. They were wired to say the least, but we should have expected as much as they have been hunted for over 3 months. No matter if we were able to go back there next weekend, I'd be all for a repeat trip with the same bunch of guys any day.

I totally agree! Great group and great times....I thoroughly enjoyed it. We didn't slaughter the deer but that's what keeps us coming back....right? I'm really surprised that I was able to get out undetected with my ice chests loaded with mutton. :naughty:
Got home on schedule....hope everybody else had a safe trip home.

Tomme, thanks again for giving your time to put these together. Hope I have another opportunity!

Sounds like a good time was had by all! Thanks Tomme for puttin it together!!

I googled "surly bunch" and this was the picture it displayed :D

I actually had a wonderful time also. Learned 2 things....how to spit and scare off sheep, and to shoot low on them south texas whitetails. It was great meeting you guys and look forward to more fellowship hunts.


Oh and just so everyone knows, owning a weedeater is a prerequisite to going on all future hunts :chatterbox:

Wait a minute did Tomme say he MISSED? Naw can't be!! :err::D
