Trap,

1st weekend in Nov is opening day of deer season.  It is a state holiday, just like 1 Sep is opening day of dove season which IS a state holiday.

For this I could! Matter of fact that is the opening weekend of deer season here in Indiana...but I'm gonna be in Texas. You can never tell what your health will be like next year....and I've got the rest of the year to hunt deer!

I feel bad about Trap not being able to come so I thought to myself, "Self, maybe you could create a scenario that could be used for a side-match or stage that's pheasant-related enough to make it worth it for Trap to come to Texas." Now to be honest, I've never written a stage before. I've never shot a side-match. In fact, I'll admit right here that I'm an ignorant tenderfoot, and I'm sure there are a few kinks that would have to be worked out, but maybe, just maybe, we could set up something like this...


-----[Begin]----------
Your soon-to-be ex-wife "Hades' Hannah" found out you were planning on going out pheasant hunting instead of taking her to visit her thickly mustached twin sister in Greenville. Seething with malevolence and rage, she contacted the local headquarters of *that* political party, and through them she arranged to outsource a hit on you. There is now a rabid horde of ninja assassins preparing to attack you, and they're all whistling "El Deguello" (for you foreigners, that's the tune signifying "no quarter given" that was played by Santa Anna's army at The Alamo).

Begin standing at port arms in front of the window on the right. When ready, say, "Aw honey, I hate shooting pheasants! I just wanted to give you some quality time with your fat sister!"

At the buzzer engage the rifle targets in any order.  Safely ground your rifle. Move to the left window, pick up your shotgun, and engage the shotgun targets in any order. Safely ground your shotgun. Engage the pistol targets in any order. When you've emptied your second pistol, safely throw it at the ninja hiding underneath that mound of dirt over there for bonus points. Draw your second pistol and safely throw it, too,  at the dirt mound for double bonus points.

Working Cowboy: There's just too many ninjas and you're probably gonna die. Engage rifle targets, any 5 pistol targets, throw your pistol, and run like heck out the back door. Bonus points will be awarded for creative combinations of fancy words and Bible quotes to "make your peace with God" as you run.

Historical note: The Ninjas were known for their amazing stealth and secrecy. Therefore there are no documented instances of them being found in the American West. There is also no documented evidence that they never undertook missions in the American West. There are, however, a number of documented instances of mysterious deaths among Western newspaper reporters, Western authors, and Western photographers. Individually they mean nothing, but collectively they reveal a terrifying pattern of mayhem, carnage, and cover-ups that could *only* be the work of Ninjas.

-----[End]----------

So, Trap, do you think this might persuade you to come?

<big grin>

I guess I should have included mention of the "mysterious deaths" among Western husbands as well...

Can we....'Rent' some Texas pheasants down there for Trap?

I'm working on Dave Hollandsworth (I think I've got him persuaded) to come with me....now as avid a Deer hunter that Dave is......surely Trap could give up one weekend and make this special shoot.

Hey Trap.......you owe it to me to make this Texas shoot....after all.....I came out to Kansas to your shoot twice! ;D ;D

Yes there is:  http://www.choctaw-preserve.com/

This place is a private game preserve with about 40 acres of farm raised imported Pheasants.  They are not as challenging as wild field Pheasants (I've hunt in South Dakota, so I've seen how "real" Pheasants break.).  Since this a game preserve and they are not indiginous game, there is no limit on them and hens are legal game as well.  They have them mixed in with Chukar as well.

Mansfield Slim and I went on a hunt there in 07.  This the result of one morning hunt:


Choctaw is about a 45 mintue drive from our range.

Trap,

We have a few knockdowns that can be used to release a clay bird.  I have not incorporated them into our match's stages, but if it'll influence your decison I'llput them in for you.

Oklahoma Tom

Larry and I have been wondering when you'd get over our way.  Looking forward to having you visit with us.  No need to close shop, just bring some inventory and set up as a vendor.  I know we're wanting to incorporate some pocket pistol shooting in some of our stages so bring 'em too.  Also, anything we can do to help Preacher in his NCOWS efforts, just ask and we'll come arunnin'.

Just a reminder:  We are 6 weeks away from the 1st Annual NCOWS Southwestern Regional.  We are still taking applications.

You can download applications here:  http://www.texastenhorns.com/Gonetotexas.htm

The application also has schedules and details regarding the match.

If you have trouble downloading the application, please let me know and I can email one directly to you.


We are anticipating a great turn out, fantastic vendors, and really good food served from a chuckwagon.
