Mule Deer Hunt

Here it is Nov. 5th 2010 and Roberts hunting license begins on the 6th. I open the VFW, this day so Bob took off to set up camp and I will join him after work.

Of course Tiger has to go as well. 

                     Since we have the ATV’s and Bob took the RV up already we will leave about 4:30 pm for our hunt site.

Our hunting area is the same as last year, except we will be on top of Pino Alto’s and the lower side of Lake Roberts.

 

Bob has the RV set up and a good fire going by the time Tiger

and I get there.

                           Unload the ATV’s and we are ready to go. Tiger is already out hunting. Just can’t slow that puppy down.

                                                                                                  

We have plenty of fuel, plenty of water, plenty of food,

And plenty of Tiger.

Of course he has to check out Bob’s RV. No hunting trip is complete without an inspection.

Sure hope it passes inspection from Tiger. He is really picky…LOL

Tiger will have to stay and watch the RV. He can’t go hunting with us. The law you know.

Day one up at 4am and get fire going and cook breakfast before starting off.  

 

Darn it’s cold out here. And Tiger thinks were nuts.

Yep! that’s him just standing in the door way saying your Nuts. I’m not going out there. There’s cougar and bear out there.

He’s real brave.

 

Ah! Day light.

  Day two up at 5am. Day three up at 6am. Darn if we stay a week, we’ll be sleeping till noon. Needless to say we didn’t get a deer. However we did see alot of Doe’s.  These pic’s will show our trek for each day.

The red is our track with the ATV’s and the hiking.

Our camp sites.Bob made a mean stew, and Tiger likes the bones.

A friend of ours stopped by to say hi and to show us some of his favorite hunting spots. Thanks Louie for helping out.

Till the next time stay safe and healthy. From Tiger and Stu.

Annual ATV Rodeo

This is our third year for the rodeo. It has been held at Harold and Barbara’s home and it is really alot of fun by all. This year we didn’t have all our friend out there. One couple is in the hospital, One couple was out of town hunting, and yet an other couple are recovering from a minor stroke. An other couple were out of town on business. And some of our friends from Silver City couldn’t make it this year. As you can deduce there was a lot of the Quad Squad missing in action this year. But the ones that showed up had fun anyway.

 

Saturday morning and just getting started. Every good rodeo starts with a great Bloody Mary.

These were made by Richard, and this year we had stuffed green olives with Jalapeno’s.  Hmm, Hmm good.

Notice the line is just starting.

Some started earlier than we did. LOL

    Some of us started with the poker run. In this situation you really want to lead. Cause you will get dry, with all the dust.

 

  Being able to find the buckets with the cards in them is a real challenge.  

Any one that doesn't have an ATV can just grab one that’s not in use. So everyone can enter the events and have a chance to win.

 

 

 

Now for the blind mans bluff. The driver is blind folded and the passenger gives directions. The hard part for the driver is to go in the correct direction when your passenger gives directions by pointing a finger, arm or leg and says go that a way.

Every time you run over a can or crash into a pumpkin you get a time penalty and that could cost you when you need the fastest time to win.

We finish all the events that we entered, and drank and ate, and we just had a real good time saying hi to all the friends that came back this year for this special Rodeo. We really thank Harold and Barbara for the sharing of their home.

Having a problem Fred?

Look “Ma”, go that a way. 

Now waiting for each event is always fun, In New Mexico they call this Siesta time.

The blog isn’t big enough for all the pic’s, So Tiger and I will say keep safe and healthy.

 

 

 

 

Next up date will be our hunting trip. Mule Deer.
