Quest For The
Grand Slam - 2003
Part 4: The Rio
Grande Wild Turkey
 
The Rio Grande hunts were
in 3 parts, sandwiched in between the Ohio and South Dakota bowhunts. Of
our Quest for the Grand Slam this hunt turned out to be the biggest challenge.
A lot of exciting hunts came down on this hunt. Doug's "Man on a mission"
hunt proves what you can do when the hunting clock is almost done ticking.
The last week of season the gobblers were scarce and call shy. My hunt
boiled down to one late seaon window of opportunity. TO: the
Rio Grande Bowhunt.
Part 3: The Eastern
Wild Turkey
 
This bowhunt was tops. Doug
Crabtree and Terry Speakman team called in wild turkey gobblers, one after
the other. Doug Crabtree called in a longbeard almost a mile away and and
completed his Grand Slam. Pictures and hunt logs. TO: Eastern

Wild Hog Are Not
Dangerous - whoever said that ain't hunting in the real world!
 Apr
10, Bowhunt In Progress - 2002
Half way to the Hammer Hole
two black hogs crossed the narrow woods road, about 80 yards ahead of me.
Immediately I cut into the woods and hurried to the edge of the brush along
a dried, rocky creek bed. I got my camera out and started down the edge.
In seconds both hogs walked out of the brush some 50 yards from me. They
stopped when they saw me. One ran away. The other hog hurtled down the
edge -- straight toward me! MORE

 Again
this year, we did a lot of bowhunting. Here are the logs for all the hunts
and all the bowhunters who participated. Lots of pictures. My scouting
by camera paid off and I located a beautiful, mature 10-point and caught
it surprise. Twice! Rick Philippi bags a 300+ pound wild boar, we pulled
it out ot the woods with the 4-wheeler but 3 of us couldn't lift it to
the tail gate of the pickup. Here are the day by day posts and pictures
of this seasons bow season, reported online as it happens.

Week Of June 11,
2001: Wild Hog Bowhunt at the Texas-S
Bowhunting Ranch
 A
Hog With An Attitude
Water and mud flew everywhere
as the red boar came out of the mud. He stopped. He looked for me and saw
me. Right then, it was clear to me that he wasn't going to run this time.Everything
went into slow motion -- things started happening one frame at a time.
I already had an arrow out. Fifteen yards behind me I heard Merle say,
"God, he's going to charge." GO
Wild
Hogs & Javelina At Rancho del Zorro
Javelina were in the road,
about 80 yards from the Curve blind and 200 yards from us. Chad stopped
and turned off the pickup's engine. He took their picture as I grabbed
my bow. An old, rusty fence is to the right, along the side of the road,
so I slipped over to it and stepped over a low place in the wire. Brush
and mesquite grow along much of the fence. They provided good cover so
I walked briskly for half the distance, but then the cover ran out.
 Doug
Crabtree fulfills his dream hunt, the Wild Turkey Grand Slam with a bow
in 30 days.
Follow the hunt with reports
and pictures from Florida to Texas to Oklahoma to South Dakota and to Kansas
for the Osceola, Rio Grande, Merriam's and Eastern wild turkeys. Doug's
pop Doug Sr. was also on the hunt and he too harvested the Grand Slam with
a bow.

Rancho
Del Zorro Deer Hunt, (Jan 18, 2001)
 Jim
Autrey and I hunted at this outstanding South Texas ranch in the renond
Webb County. We saw plenty of deer, this ranch hasn't been hunted in over
6 years and it has lots of mature bucks. The ranch
owner Raymond
Patschke bagged a bomber buck. Jim took a big 10 point.
Angie Edwards got a big wild hog. I photographed some super deer pictures
and put some tamale meat on the table when I harvested two wild hogs. To

opening day through the 2nd Rut in late December. From Robbie Cramer's

 Count
To 100 - It Worked!
It was time to leave so
I started counting. Mid way to 100 I heard what could have been a step
in the leaves. I waited briefly, I didn't want to make Dennis late to his
own fish fry. I started counting again. A step, for sure. A big Ohio 8-point
came from the brush and went to the scrape and worked the overhead branches
and pawed the scrape. It finished and moved in my general direction. I
was ready to draw. But the buck stopped and looked right and left, trying
to decide which way to go. Right or left wouldn't work for me. In my thoughts
I talked to it calmly, repeating, "come to me, come to me." More

Wild
Hog Bowhunts at the Island.
When I drove up to the Island
I saw cows. My neighbor turned some cattle loose in the field. I parked,
ran the cattle off, and went to my stand. Two fawns and a doe browsed nearby
for the last half hour of the hunt. The fawns were good size now and are
loosing their spots. They would have made a swell pic but the by the time
they got where I could get a decent picture the light was too low. No wild
hogs showed today. I did hear them squalling again, off towards Big River.

Scouting: I check out the crossing at Big River. Since
I heard so many hog squeals, squalls and grunts when I hunted the evening
before I drove in their direction to check it out. It is a familiar area

the Tesas-S and turned our share of wild hogs into pork chops.
Wild Hogs on
the Leon River. A Bowhunt In Progress 2000
A Wild Hog Bowhunt In
Progress: (Sunday, 5:30pm)
Friday and Saturday's heavy
rain cleaned up all the old sign and as I walked down the woods road to
the Hammer Hole all I saw was deer tracks (lots of them) but no wild hog
tracks. I settled in one of my tripod's and sure enough 4 deer came by
(separately) and then a buddy group of 5 bucks slipped through, all of
them in velvet with their starter horns of different lengths. They were
in the brush and I couldn't get their pics. As the darkness faded a 40-plus
pound raccoon came up. He stopped and stood up on his hind legs and looked
all around. He was big. Once he was gone I got down and went to my truck.
The hogs haven't been back since the rain. But they'll return ... and so
will I.

17-18) Will The Real Big Boy Please Stand Up
