  1. I was talking about IF I have to field dress. When I am in South Texas I may get dropped off at 3pm and not get picked up until 7-8 depending on how many people are with the crew. 15k acres and we spread out. I am not letting the deer sit for 2-3 hours before gutting. I guess it was just how I was taught but I basically split the deer from pelvis all the way to throat. Then try to prop the deer ass up on a tree/bush and let it start cooling. If I am at my place, it is just me hunting 99% of the time and I have a UTV with me. I will go grab the deer, hang it and clean it without gutting. In the end, you have to split the pelvis to quarter it so if you have a magical way to quarter without splitting the pelvis, spill it.
  2. I have a stupid number of knives in my pack. Havalon, 2 Benchmade I get sharpened by them every year, buck, Kershaw that is just the right amount of dull and an assortment of random blades that I rotate out. I use the havalon and dull Kershaw most of the time. When I am not at my place, I couple those with a little hand saw my fil gave me to split the pelvis so I don't need a knife and strength 40-11 drinks in.
  3. I would be at half mast that entire trip if I was at the helm of that boat while hauling upwind at that clip. Hnng
  4. Post the fuckers on the shit on blast thread. We can work this out real quick. Sorry to hear about the pos people. Glad you are back posting. I live vicariously through you and G650. Moar pure boat fun. Less stinkpots. 🤣 I kid, I love all boats.
  5. Polo, jeans, boots. Company hat most days unless meeting a client.
  6. Wait, are you telling me I have to drive to Houston to get a cup? Damn that is an expensive mf'er.
  7. When we bought our place 4 years ago there were maybe 7 doe coming to the one feeder they had and you would maybe see 2-3 younger bucks. I have fed, watered, supplemented protein here and there, and planted some small plots. This year we are finally seeing the fruits of our labor. This week I had 23 doe/yearlings coming to one feeder and 8 or so 2-3 yr old bucks at another feeder. The third feeder has another little family unit of 7 doe/young bucks/yearlings that roll through. We have two doe that have dropped twins 2 years running and we have made it clear they won't get shot until they get really old. They stay at the center of the property basically between the water and the feeder. We took the one 7 pt deer I posted this year and my fil killed that old 8. That was it. Next year I will start phase 2 of the program and start harvesting doe and bucks to keep the balance. It has been alot of work for very little meat so far but things are looking bright into the future when I can pass this place on to my kids.
  8. I will take employees as well! This is really working out well. Merry Christmas to meeeee
  9. I went to bed at 2am because the shits wouldn't go to bed and I may have had a few too many whiskeys while I was waiting. Kids woke me up at 5:30 wanting me to see what Santa brought. Fml. At this point I am gonna ride this ride for 24 hours I guess. Kahlua coffee engaged.
  10. Send your clients my way when you peace out. I will take care of them!

    I am waiting for the little fuckers to go to sleep. I am fucking up a bottle of makers 46 as well. They better go to sleep fast or santa is gonna pass out.
  12. This. I swear every damn time I am out at the ranch they dissappear. I pull cameras and everyday I am gone they are stacked around the water troughs with more waiting thier turn. I show up? Two, sitting on the powerline laughing at me.
  13. For sure. That replay was hilarious, illegal hands to the face on NS left side, Cam with the crazy hold right side.
  14. Was that just 2 future Texas teammates going at it? That is awesome if so. We need dudes with fire.
  15. He threatened to leave when his job was questioned. Now he quit because we brought in a qb and he didn't want to compete.
  16. The sleep I will lose on this deal will be trumped by tonights unwelcome trip to piss as I try to sleep. Thanks for the 1st half lead bud. Godspeed.
  17. Finally watched the presser. FCB is right there with the AAS regards with absolutely worthless questions. Can we just pull his credentials already. He is breathing perfectly good air that he doesnt deserve. Also, one thing i am not worried about? Numbers. Fuck the numbers. Stunt on these hoes
  18. This weekend wasn't a total bust. I saw the deer I wanted to shoot but he was hiding out in the brush and my only shot would have been north of 200yds. I saw that two younger 8s that I was praying nobody would shoot have made it this far. They both have prototypical racks perfect symmetry. Just perfect hillcountry deer. Hope they can breed for 2 more seasons but I doubt they survive their 4th year. We are covered up with deer. 5 years of feeding and light hunting has made it a great place to hunt. Oh and I killed one pig and hit another in the ass but never found it. Great weekend of peace and quiet.
