Hunting buddy Tom Yones and I drove down to Kerrville/Hunt, Tx area this past Tuesday night to hunt pigs and axis and possible blackbuck. We hunted on the Stowers Ranch with ranch Manager shawn Kendrick. Round trip drive was 1300 miles. Weather was wonderful--80 instead of the usual hundred. The ranch is a working cattle ranch that offers primarily whitetail and bird hunting, and a few axis/blackbuck, aoudad/yr. They have a web-site. First critter to get it's picture taken--a wild racoon. When he finally saw me, he ran off, spooking two turkeys and alerting two axis bucks. Tom's first-day hog
Mobile cow-bird catcher. The cowbirds endanger golden-cheeked warblers by switching eggs Century old stone work around water tank

Sgraves; Nice report & fine photos. Congratulations on what certainly looked to be a great hunt. I gotta admit, I'd like to do some hog hunting myself. I also gotta admit I wouldn't have left the very prickly part of that cactus patch intact. 900F |

The terrible cold spell killed many thousands of axis and blackbuck and nilghai. I suspect many whitetail bucks, worn out from the rut, also were killed.
