Mike, if you're still around (this is an OLD thread I just realized) we're not that far from each other if you'd like to do some building together. I'm betting you're no longer a novice. Anyway, I love to have company in my shop. Don't have much room to shoot, but I do run out to the deer lease and chase hogs a time or 2 a month. Cipriano and I are leaving after lunch today to go out, shoot bows, chase pigs and break some rock this weekend. You're welcome to join us next time if you want.
neuse, I agree that Waco is centrally located and it would work for me. I think we need a volunteer to host a get-together that has the spot for it. I'd forgotten to ask my landowner, but will see him later today and ask. But, that's not Waco and probably wouldn't be convenient for more than a few of us. I still think it's worth doing if I can get permission. Of course, if it rains like it just did (4" in 3 weeks) without 4wd you'd probably not make it 30' inside the gate. That doesn't happen very often here. I guess I should ask the question, how many people would consider going to the Abilene, TX area for a get-together?
I went ahead and called the land-owner and he said he didn't have a problem with it and would possibly join us. So, the question is who would come if I hosted a get-together at my deer/hog lease near Cross Plains, TX in the mid-June timeframe? The 2 possible dates in my calendar are the evening of June 10 through the morning of June12, or the evening of June 24 through the morning of June 26. It will be rustic. No running water and no electricity (other than a generator which I do run daily). There is an old outhouse. It will be getting hot by then. We have a fire pit, but lately there've been burn bans. Hopefully with the recent rains that has been lifted...I doubt it. We can hog hunt (4 feeders are running) but they'll likely get spooky and leave with all the activity and noise, never know though. The lease is only 200 acres. There's a good spot for a few 3d targets, but I don't own any. There is a motel in Cross Plains, 6 miles away. I might need some help to pull this off.
If there's interest from this group I'll post a thread to get a larger audience.

Gee ....there aint nothing any wheres near me...It's like the Texas Panhandle doesn't exist at all.......... :'(
gstoneberg:
Not true Mike. I went 4 hours west of my place to pick a spot. You're only 80 minutes further from Cross Plains than I am. I did my best to average the distance between us. OK, it was my only choice... ;)

Still like to take you up on that Hog Hunt one weekend though... I may even be able to drag a Buddy of mine with Me to split the Expenses!!
gstoneberg:
I'd love it. Let me know if you have dates in mind. I have to go at least once a month to keep feed in the feeders. It'll be a tad hot in July and August, as I'm sure you know. I have a new night vision toy we can play with if you like. It's out for repair now. ???
