Okay, Bob originally was setting this up and it kinda just fell in my lap so I don't have any plan on all of this and in fact it was likely I would have been coming from or leaving for hunting someplace else before or after the hunt there. It is up to the group what we do.
I know Bob's original idea was for a BBQ and GTG on Friday evening, hunt Saturday, Clean birds, relax the rest of the day and hunt again on Sunday.
To meet Friday afternoon at the Ranch for a GTG/BBQ, use of a ranch house with Kitchen, covered area, Fire Ring for our GTG. This will not be open for lodging use, just kitchen. At the GTG group up for the morning hunt and meet your guides after they complete the evening scouting trip. Guides being The Ranch Owner, Duckiller, WhiskeyandMe. There was talk of a calling seminar too.
I would think we could stray from that plan if need be, for example if we wanted the BBQ/GTG to actually be on Saturday night.
Again the location is the Glass Ranch.
www.redlegoutfitters.com Lodging is NOT included.
Decoys provided by the ranch, so you only needed your guns, ammo sort of thing.
Again from Bobs original post. After the Saturday morning hunt, we'll meet back at the ranch and clean birds, and have lunch. Then those that want to can fish in a couple of stocked lakes on the ranch, ( Bring your own fishing gear ), or shoot clays, or hunt hogs. They will have baited stands in place for hog hunting. DEER ARE OFF-LIMITS There is no extra charge for fishing or hogs hunting, and no kill fees, but your on you own as for cleaning the hogs.
I do not know the status of the hog hunting. It kind of fell through the cracks as far as discussion goes, but I think we were suppossed to have let redleg know who wanted to Hog hunt in advance.
Saturday evening again meet back at the ranch to be paired up with our guides for Sunday mornings hunt. Cook again if needed
Sunday after our hunt we'll meet back at the ranch, clean the Mallards and break down/ clean up the area.
Food is not provided, so we each need to figure out what we would be doing for food. Do something for food together for the GTG only or for both nights? Lunch on our own? Etc. Chime in with y'alls thoughts. There is a fire ring by the cabin and a covered patio incase of rain and a kitchen in the cabin to assit with the cooking. I do not know if they have a grill.
Lodging again, up to the y'all. Bob was planning on bringing a big tent and I think some of the guys were planning on staying with him, but realize Bob is no longer going. So anyone that was staying in his tent are now on their own. With Bob camping I was just going to hang out there and live out of my truck and tent as I usually do. There is a cabin that the guides are staying in and a barn across the road, both of which have area to camp close by and have water and electric.
Those wanting to do a Hotel. The hotels on the north loop in Paris are within 10 minutes of the ranch. Holiday Inn Express, Days Inn, Laquinta Inn, Hampton Inn, Budget Inn...thats a few of them.
Originally wanted was a group of 16 men. That being 16 for each day. At this point after finding out who mailed deposits we got wittled down to only 10 spots each day. Waiting to hear back from QuackAttacker06 on his status. He had been on the road doing his country music gig and just got word about the situation.
