If they'll leave us out 30 mins. after dark, we might see some of this stuff. Hard to do with 26 hunters running around with rifles in the same 17,000 acres.
Flashlight--yes I have a flashlight--think I'll bring it. just stay in an old abandoned line shack and about midnite when you're tryin to sleep, they will be in the walls scratching and scooting around. Leastwise that was the way it was in our shack north of Brackettville. ya! GWB

Gonna try and hunt one of these ![[Linked Image]](https://s18.postimg.org/6lgy67lft/blackb.jpg) In my experienceMature Blackbuck bucks are usually between 80 and 110 lbs. Their hams, tenders and backstap are prime. Their meat is very dark, like axis or sika. It makes excellent jerky, chicken fried steaks,or butterfly steaks. It can be more gamey tasting than whitetail. It also works well in mixing with pork to make link/pan/summer sausage. The does, though smaller are also excellent table fare. ya!

Ya-- well some of us are poor-- I'll just stick with the red and green
100 yard flashlights.
I hard part is they are real good about picking us up on time so we get to go eat a real good meal.
Remember to bring something to balance your rifle on, bean bag or whatever. Blinds have a small shelf but to keep your fine rifle fine, bring something to put under it for a cushion. Coat will work.

FWIW guys they are setting off the feeders earlier to get the pigs out, and its working. Which might mean they'll pick us up closer to dark....but with 26 of us theres still gonna be some lagging logistics, so you'll probably see some stuff in the dark!

I did see one the first night. Running into the feeder. 26 mad very big turkeys jumped him/her., Him/her just kept running out the other side of the clearing, by the time I had him/her in sight, him/her was in line with Joel's blind. Wasn't going to take any chances.
Now Joel and son were a 1/4 mile away but I don't play games with rifles. I said hell I'll see more as I had 2 days to go. No luck in that dept. Bobby did give me his pigs, cause they wouldn't walk anymore and he would have trouble in the airport getting them a seat.
Saw lots of exotics turkeys etc.
We need to blood a 5.56 and a 6.5 Creedmoor this year, this year is the year.
