Those on the THF hunt, for the latest (11/28/09) jump to this post:
http://www.texashuntingforum.com/forum/u..._09#Post1067669


Okay guys I've been talking with a couple of our member outfitters about setting up a weekend group hunt 12 - 13 Dec 09. This will be a guided hunt with 4 groups of 4 or 5 hunters. Ideally we need 12 more hunters to fill a 16 men group. Details will follow shortly, but I know this will be on private property in NE Texas.

We are working on lodging, and a GTG location.

The game plan is to have a BBQ/GTG on Friday evening, then hunt Saturday, Clean birds, relax they rest of the day and hunt again on Sunday. Chime in with your ideals


Okay guys I'm going to post all the updates in this post


The Location is The Glass Ranch. Here is some information on the Ranch, Check out www.redlegoutfitters.com

The Glass Ranch consist of several large DU wetland areas that are managed specifically for waterfowl. Each morning ducks will flock to these wetlands in large numbers to feed. In addition to the wetlands the ranch also has several large lakes that support good amounts of puddle ducks and divers. There are also many smaller ponds and bottomland areas on the ranch that ducks will find throughout the season. This place is a waterfowl mecca that is a duck hunters dream!

You can rest assured that when you book a hunt at the Glass Ranch you will be hunting a spot that has not been shot out or over pressured. Each location is rested for several days before and after each hunt.

There are many different ways to hunt ducks on this ranch. One day you might be laying in a ground blind in shooting decoying ducks in a flooded field, the next day you might find yourself standing behind a tree watching ducks fall into the timber, and the next day you might be sipping coffee in a comfortable duck blind.

The cost for this two day hunt will be $250.00 or $130 per day. All members wanting two days will be added to the list first, then the rest will be filled first come. Lodging is NOT included. I have a list of motels located in Paris Texas. As you guys know this is the weekend after the split, so it's a prime hunting time, seeing how the ducks and ranch has been rested during the split, so we need to get our deposits in quickly as we can, (more later on this)

On Friday afternoon we'll meet at the Ranch for a GTG/BBQ, we have the 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 we'll be grouped up for the morning hunt, you'll get a chance to meet your guides after they complete the evening scouting trip. Your guide are The Ranch owner,duckiller, WhiskeyandMe and others as needed. The ranch has leased properties in the area if need be, depending on where the ducks are. Decoys are provided by the ranch.

Hummm Dogs, we are going to need to know who is bring a dog, and remember we don't need 12 dogs...... Guess we can work this out between now and then.


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.


Saturday evening we'll 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 chime in with what you are going to bring for eats

Throw my name in the hat

hmm honestly I think I'm more interested in Moose's deal he is trying to set up. But if that doesn't work out I would be interested.

pending on the price i would like to go

I would love to be included. Also, I have a ranch 12 miles North of Cooper with a 4 bedroom home. I dont know if it's in the area where this hunt will be but I could provide some lodging. I would be intarested in both days.

Hillbilly,
I'm interested.

BTW, I need your address, I misplaced it.

Ed

depending on location and cost, I might be down for this as well.

I need to watch the hunting funds, I have already spent enough this year on lease/blind, but if this turns into a big party, I will be there!!

Come on Guy we need a cook

I really, really, want to go to this. It would be awesome to hunt with some other forum members and swap lies. Don't think I can swing it though, no money in the budget. Love to go to Moose's thing too but same problem.

If I hold up an old lady and come up with the funds you'll be the first to know!

IM IN FOR SURE!!!

I'm in for sure.
I would like to bring my dog.

Might also have my daughter with me, but if it isn't the right environment I won't.

probably count me out on this deal.

I don't have to get wet do I??

Okay guys quackrjack has offered lodging for part of the group. His pm said he could handle 8 or 10 people at his place.

Talked to Duckiller last night about the event...

I think that we are going to have a "GREAT" time!

Typically there is a good push of birds that move in this time of year...so I think we should do pretty good!!!!!!

Duckiller said there is plenty of places to hunt, and we can spread out, and hunt different places, and if need to hunt totally different places on the next day, or hunt some of the same...just depends on the birds...

We will be north of Paris (from what I know) and I have hunted up there for years...

I look forward to meetin' ya'll...

J.J.

I'm looking forward to it!!!

(J.J. : Thanks for the tips on sat. It was a big help.)

Count me in. I have a dog that I'd like to bring as well.

I'd like to go, but I don't have any pinche dinero.

Ya'll need a birdboy or a half-arse decent caller?

Working out my dates now, should not be an issue to attend!
I doubt I'll bring my dog

I'de like to be in if there is room

Your on the list

I'll post a complete list in the first post later

Guys this is going to be a good one

We have 2 that are interested and would like to bring a dog. In for both days

Okay Darren your on the list for both days x2 with dog
