Thanks Erathkid!!

Erathkid invited me to go deer hunting over the weekend. Stayed at his cabin and hunted Chaulk Mountain. We hunted over an oat patch Friday afternoon and this fella walked out.
Thanks Mike for making a hard year for me a better one for sure!! I really enjoyed it!

Man, you can't beat that.

that's awesome. Congrats bud

Good buck Curly. Congrats

Very cool

good lookin buck curly, congrats, awesome gesture EK.

What a great weekend. I am tickled pink. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I hope you don't mind me telling the story. We got in the stand at about 16:00, Two beers later a deer walks out. Looking through the binos I could see that it was a nubbin buck, but he was a heavy looking deer. I told Curly, "it's a legal deer, you can take him if you want him, but it's still early and we can hunt all weekend". He said, after reading the post,"I shot a nubbin buck and you would have thought I farted in church" he decided to wait. The nubber was acting scared and kept looking back in the brush. I thought to myself, there's a buck that's been messin' with him. He left and then about five minutes later Curly says "Mike there's another buck". I was looking through the binos and could see he would make ARs. He was breathing hard and asking me, "is he legal, is he legal? I replied, Yeah, he's le (kaboom) gal... I had more fun being the guide than I've had in years. Success. We partied that night with Mr.Beam. I was telling him "Beam me up Curly". It was fantastic. I couldn't be more proud of you buddy.

Sounds like a great time, great friends, and a great buck! Congrats! Enjoyed reading the story

Oh yeh, I forgot to mention that he ran about 30 yards into the bush. This sight made us happy, happy, happy:

Freaking awesome!! IMO, it couldn't have happened to anyone better than you Curly

Erathkid...here's to you sir

Great!

Sounds like a lot of fun and congrats

sounds like my kind of hunting trip.congrats

Good story there. Lol nice buck sir!

Way to go Curly, nice buck and sounds like y'all had a great time Mike (Erath), very cool of you to be so generous

Curly, speaking from experience. After being down at Mikes for a couple of Days it takeas about a week to Detox

Awesome. Congrats Curly!

Outstanding buck Curly. Wish I could of joined ya'll but work got in the way. Good times with fellow THFers. Doesn't get any better than that.

That's awesome. Congrat's Curly.

Every buck we saw had lovin' on his mind. About two hours before we got this deer we went gathering firewood, Curly says, is that a cow standing back in the brush? I pulled the truck up a little bit and big boy was standing there looking at us, a massive buck. He gave us a quick glimpse and then he was gone. Saturday evening I thought we would drive our easement road and look for hogs. We crossed the creek and came up a steep bank and right on the side of the road about 60 yards down there's a doe standing at the edge of the cedars then we caught a quick glimpse of a BIG rack right behind her. They left pretty quick and we didn't see them again. Saturday, my nieces boyfriend was hunting for a big spike that we've seen over and over. This was at noon. A doe came out with her tongue hanging out and right behind her was a big ten point with a huge neck and heavy beams. He wasn't given the OK to shoot anything but the spike so he just watched them at about 20 yards away. That took a lot of restraint. Way to go Chance.

Chance follows instructions really well!

"Beam me up Curly"

Great write up and buck, Congrats!!!!

Great story. Congrats to you Curly and kudos to Erathkid.

Thanks everyone.

X2!!

Lots of fun and good memories shared. Congrats on well done.

Congrats to you Curly and kudos to Erathkid.

Great story and congrats on a nice buck!

Enjoyed the story! It speaks well of friendship... which hunting does so much to foster..

Happy Hunting Trails

Yup. Even if I hadn't got a deer, I know the trip would still have been a blast!

I know we're beating a horse to death on this thread but just wanted to share more of the story. Stephanie at "Kenny Freds" called me sunday and told me my deer was ready to pick up on Monday morning. Caped out and processed for $140. Got up, shaved, showered and got dressed. Pulled a shirt out of the closet that I probably haven't worn in a year or so, lo and behold There's 4 $20 bills in the front pocket. I don't ever remember misplacing $80. It was my guide fee from above. As an aside, I've been back over to Chalk Mountain twice since Curly shot his deer and have seen NADA...It was meant to be, Curly.

I can't believe you haven't seen anything else over there. I was lucky!
Oh and for some reason, I haven't grown tired of this thread yet.

Another AR success story! Great deer

I was wondering how long it would be before someone made an AR post.

Nice deer

Dang wish I would have known I was out there and had to hit Bluffdale twice. Would have met up for a cold one. Been meaning to meet EK!

Dang it TooLow! Wish we would have know too! You won't meet a nicer guy.

I'll meet him one of these days. Have a cold one at Kenny Freds and the Greenwood. I'll be at the ranch this coming weekend also. You can roll with me if your wife will let you escape back to back weekends. It's going to be cold.

Thanks for the invite TooLow but I'm headed to our lease this weekend till Wed. My son and brother are going too.

I won't contaminate your thread with my AR let down I had this past weekend.

Congrats on the buck Curly and hats off to you ErathKid for taking a fellow THF'er on a hunt. I need to party with y'all guys.

AR let down? Sounds like the makings for another thread.

It has the makings for another thread. Just don't have pics to back it up. Made me sick though.

Mike is awesome. Mike.. we have 2 weeks at the ranch in the next month.. all next week (well, Tue night thru Sunday) and then the week after Christmas.

I will probably be out 1 or 2 times on top of that.

We gotta hook up and drink up

That is a nice deer ya have and even a better smile to go with it.. heh

Oh, and I seemed to have misplaced like 80 bucks.. if you see it, let me know :P

Russ

Thats a great story.

I remember now, it's coming back to me. Russ, You gave that to me to go get breakfast tacos at the shell in Rocksprings. I hadn't seen that kind of jack in a while and I just kept rollin'.

Got my Somervell county venison stacked in my freezer today!

Good deer, good people, good story

If you get a chance to hang out with EK, its non stop fun & plenty of BS
I cannot hang with them animals up until 2-3 am

I asked if any of them had ever just stayed up and went to straight to their deer stand. Haha.
They kinda remind me of my East Texas beer lease, I mean deer lease buddies.
