Hi Kandace,

 

A quick note to let you and Nick know I harvested my first big game animal since joining Golden Ram last year! I couldn't be more excited, what an absolute thrill!

 

Attached is a photo of me and the 200+ lbs boar I arrowed May 11 at Hedgpeth Ranch. Dan Verhage took the photo and took time out of his hunt to help me with the haul out and butchering process. Keith Peschel, who I met at camp that morning was also there and provided us with great insight, lively banter, some good knives and the name of a fabulous taxidermist, which I just hired.

 

I can't thank my new hunting friend Bill Laferty enough. Bill helped us butcher but more importantly he introduced me to Hedgpeth and Golden Ram and "guided" me on my very first hunt. Both Bill and Dan have taken me, a complete novice under wing, have shown me the ropes and provided me with all kinds of guidance and encouragement since I joined the club. Couldn't have harvested this trophy with out their invaluable help.

Anthony, son of member Mike Chester who has been a member for 29 years, proudly poses at Hedgepeth, with his Christmas present, a new Red Ryder BB Gun. It's great to see the club tradition being passed down from father to son at Golden Ram. We truly are a family, friendly club when you see three generations on the ranches.

Geza Paulovits took time over the Martin Luther King weekend to show his sons Lázó age 9 and Tasi age 7 some of Dad’s hunting skills. The previous storms left everything quiet for stalking. However, sunny weather prevailed for camping and Geza was able to take this boar at the Hedgpeth.

 

Also a big shout out to Geza who cleaned up a mess in camp 3 left behind but some other members who left litter including bottles/cans and a busted up easy-up. Please clean up after yourselves and report members who leave litter behind in camp.  Thanks so much to Geza who prevented us from getting a citation from the landowner.
