The main focus of this trip for me and Nate was to get all tags filled first, then do some coyote hunting. I'm convinced I have a New Mexico coyote curse put on me because in three trips to this ranch I have not successfully called up and killed a coyote. I don't consider myself an expert coyote hunter by any means but have called and killed a truck load in my life but something about the ones here make me look like a fool. I won't spend much time on the coyote hunting part of the trip, mostly …
Adventures
Tucumcari day 1 Cody’s Antelope
There's nothing about sunsets and sun rises in this part of New Mexico that you can't love. The land is not for everyone and if you love trees then don't stop here but its beautiful country in its own way. Hoss had coffee ready well before sun up and I had a cup outside and waited for the sunrise while the guys got their gear together. On cattle ranches in this part of the world when things stop working they are put out to pasture, so to speak, this includes trucks, dogs, horses, even people at …
Tucumcari, the ride there
We left out early Thursday for Tucumcari New Mexico, I had a two hour drive to Graham to pick up Nate and the rest of the crew was to follow. Hoss, Cory and Cody were pulling the trailer full of Rangers and Nate and I had the Jeep loaded down and we were off. It didn't take long before a food and drink stop was needed but nothing special just some fried gas station food, I had some pretty good chicken livers, Nate grabbed pizza and we planned the next stop for the Big Texan in Amarillo. The Big …
Quick trip to Jack County
Since I'll be gone most of the month hunting I tried my best to not go hunting this weekend but man when its 55 degrees with a cool north wind and I got the yard chores done I can't help it. I told Mary I'd buy her some lunch before I left so we went up the road to a little Mexican restaurant called Cha Chas, now before I say this is my favorite place just know that every cafe I'm at is my favorite place at the time. I'm hungry and they feed me how could I not make them my favorite, that being …
Opening Archery Seaon
We started the weekend in Springtown watching Graham roll over yet another team. First food stop was one of my favorites, Dairy Land in Jacksboro where I am a regular. Jacksboro is the closest town to the land we hunt and for a town of 3,000 it has a surprisingly good amount of eateries. Here is the Harold Special, enchiladas, beans, rice and grilled sirloin with onions. As the sun comes up Saturday morning me and Alex are settled in and waiting, he was about a quarter mile south of …
