If anyone from Texas would like to go Russian Boar (aka Wild Hog) hunting on Fri & Sat, Feb 6 & 7, on a 6800 acre ranch in South Texas (near Freer), please send me an email. I'll be leaving Friday morning from Ft Hood area and heading South. Cost for hunt and room in ranch lodge is $40 per night (active/retired military/DOD) or $50.00 per night as a guest of mine.

The hunt is done under full-moon conditions, at night, from a deer stand over feeders..

No, we are not going to be romping through the brush with dogs and trucks, hootin and hollin....sorry....

Let's go hunting......

Simply send me an email if interested.....

 

you may want to open a thread for that topic ROSSN2, it would get more hits.

 

Hey, Shane. True I don't post much here, but I keep an eye on you guys from time to time.

I think you've been sniffing too many diesel fumes. It hasn't been that long since you were "F250-Hoss" as I recall.

The ol' V10 just keeps on humming down the road. You are pretty close on the mileage. Mixed driving gets me about 11. All highway pushes me over 14, but just barely.

I need the X for all the kids. Love the room inside. We are doing well down here. Still pretty broke up over tu losing that bowl game to Washington. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving team!

I hope your little one is well. Take care, bud.

 

You forgot a couple things there Hoss:

1. A dozen used cars and trucks in the front yard

2. washer & dryer on the front porch for storing stuff

3. A Russian Bear dog ( A dog that Rushes out from under the house and Bares down on a bone) well maybe more than 1

 

Sittenbull2, where is Buna, TX?

 

Well feel free to drop in and say hello any time you want to.

F-250?? What's an F-250?? Me don't have no stinkin' F-250.

I figured with the weight of the X you'd be around 10 MPG. You're doing pretty good though. My old V-10 (ahem.....in the F-250) got 11 mpg city and about 13 highway...but that was about the best it would ever do.

Yeah....POOR t-sips. It just broke my heart. I think I might have even lost a few seconds of sleep.

Little one is doing great. Working on 9 months old and into EVERYTHING!! He's fun though.

 

RS-TX, If you know where Beaumont,Tx is I am 45miles North of Beaumont.
About 20 from the Louisiana border.

 

Cool. You know, just when you think you've heard of every small town in TX, you find a new one. I'll bet you have goooooood cajun food.....mmmmmmmmmm.......droooooollllllll

 

You know you're from Texas if, when stopped for speeding, you ask the cop to hold your beer so you can get your license out.

That washing machine on the porch has a purpose… here is what it’s used for.

You place your beer in the basket and fill it the rest of the way up with ice. When the beer is gone turn the washer on to rinse. No clean up. By the way it works real good. I'm still working on the dryer.
