    Ralph 857 I should be down in 36a soon. I had a little medical issue a few days ago and have not been down there for a week or so. I should be back at my trailer down there next week. I'll shoot you an email when I'm sure when I will be back.

    I have known the rancher for 30 years. I have done some work for him in the past. We just recently talked about hunting. Turns out he never told me about all of the property he has,. He controls a lot of land out there. Heading out there soon.

    Well yesterday was the end of this past Fall and Winter season. Here are some stats:

    I visited with approximately 65 different campsites during the season. We had more but I didn't visit unless it was daylight and there was at least 1 adult man outside. So I missed talking to those who left before dawn and didn't get back to camp before dark.

    I found 21 campsites that had been abandoned after their hunt that still had hot coals in the firepit. We had locks cut 6 times at the our corrals and one incident where someone cut the chains with a grinder. I filled up 2 of those blue buckets (25 gallons) with beer cans and bottles left in fire pits. I almost filled one 1 full of shot gun shells. It seemed to be duck hunters were the worst offenders.

    The first day of hunting we had someone set up a blind inside one of our posted corrals! I found unlocked and shut gates were left open 6 times. We had 9 people park on the east side of the locked gate at Botamote Corral in the private property area. We need that area free of vehicles to allow for  truck and trailers to be able to back up to the loading shoot.

    Noah Silva, the Game Worden, provided us with a lot more signs to inform people of the rules. Thanks Noah!

    I did not see all of the game that was taken but we had a few better than average animals taken. That is all I will say about that, but I will say y'all didn't get several better than average bucks I know about. I sure hope I get drawn later on this year.
