A date and cabin locations have finally been chosen.
This year’s shoot will be October 18th. Once again it will be held in Seagoville, (5 miles south of Route 175 or 3.5 miles NE of I-45 (exit 270) on S. Belt Line Road). The plan at this time is to meet at Cotton Gin in Crandle for breakfast at 9:00 a.m., BUT they are currently closed due to a fire. Hopefully they will be reopened by October. If not, Plan B will be put in place. After breakfast we will all head to the range. A delicious lunch will be provided at the range by our wonderful FRiend cpdiii.
The cabins where we are staying are Miller Creek Ranch in Canton, TX. There is a map of the place Here
A block of cabins have been reserved under the name TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot. To reserve your cabin, call 866-488-6020 or 903-567-6020 They are reserved for Thursday the 16th through Sunday the 19th. Please let them know if you will arrive Thursday or Friday night. A $125.00 deposit is due at the time you make your reservation, with the balance due when you check in.
The cut off date for making your reservation is May 28th! Make reservations after that date at the risk of not getting a cabin.
The cabin numbers reserved for us are 10, 22, 24, 25, 77, 88, 89, 90, 92 and 102. #’s 22, 24, and 25 are called Executive Cabins with lofts, they are $185.00/night and sleep 4-6 people; #’s 10, 88, 89, 90 and 102 are Standard Cabins with lofts, they are $165.00/night and sleep up to 4 people; # 92 is a Standard Cabin without a loft and # 77 is handicapped accessible, those are both $150.00/night and sleep up to four. All the lofts, with the exception of #22, are only three feet high and each have two twin mattresses; the loft in #22 is five feet tall. Each cabin has a queen size bed and a queen size sleeper sofa.
No cars are allowed at the cabins, with the exception of the handicapped cabin. You can either use their concierge service to get to and from the cabins or rent a golf cart for $40.00/day. If you want to rent a golf cart it was suggested that you reserve one when making your reservation.
Extra cost included are a $5.00 resort fee (they normally charge this per day, but are only charging us a one time fee); Internet fee is $5.00/day.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in October!
This was posted on another thread by cpdiii last night, and I have directed him to this thread.
“My Life
Bring that Saiga shotgun, I have the shells. I have a new toy. It is a 50 year anniversary edition REMINGTON 300 WIN MAG.
This year I am thinking about Brisket Chicken, Beans and Rice. If others can bring some side dishes it makes it a lot easier for me. About a week before the shoot I will need an approximate head count. At the last shoot I ran out of Brisket and was a little embarrassed about it.
I am looking forward to seeing the gang this fall.”
We say it is in Seagoville because that is the largest nearby town.
The shoot is actually in a place called Wilmer/Hutchins.
The prison in seagoville is a minimum security prison for white collar criminals.
Thanks for that info mylife.
Charlie - I’ll make sure you get a head count a week or two before the shoot.
I will bring the pinto beans. If we ask nicely I’ll bet pen would bring her delicious potato salad.
Looking forward to seeing you and eating your yummy food.
You betcha! Be glad to bring potato salad. Do you think the kitchen in executive cabin is set up where I can just bring the fixins and make it when I get there? Thinking that would be best for something like potato salad.
Um, yes? I can haz ride with you?
I rented a cart. So there’s one.
I am sure that would work.
I am not sure how large the biggest pots are.
Maybe boil the taters ahead of time?
It’s one of those “Club Fed” type places.
You might have to boil the potatoes in shifts.
Put me down for a side dish or bread or dessert or whatever is needed when it gets that time.
I reserved cabin 24 this morning for hubby, me and onyx. My prayer is that Dr.O will be feeling so much better by then, that he will want to come too. I plan to let onyx and hopefully Dr.O, have the queen sleeper sofa on main floor, so the loft will be open. It is very small I hear, so best that only one person stay up there, if any. Considering that there is only one bathroom per cabin, just not sure it that is advisable or not though.
I am thinking like TheMom, in that perhaps you and Laz should get a cabin together if possible. Can’t wait to finally meet you sweet KC!! Gonna be fun!!
Is they fish in them thar ponds?
Good advice. I may just bring my own pots and tools too in that event. No problem cooking them there in shifts if I have to.We can always get some cooking in cabin next door too. I just think it would be better than trying to make it the wed. before since we are coming in on Thursday. That is a lot of time between cooking and serving on Saturday.
I could bring the crawfish boilin' propane rig.. it'll set several gallons to boiling in just a couple minutes.
Plus it makes a cheerful noise.
I rented a cart too, so we have two now. Be glad to share it as needed.
We’ll get a motor pool set up and have our own concierge service.
I’ll volunteer, I wasn’t doing anything important anyways.
If it’ll save a couple of people a few bucks I’ll call it good.
Thank you! That sounds excellent if you want to go through the trouble of hauling it. We can probably make do if it is too much trouble though. Hate for you to have to haul it all the way up here. I bet we can find enough burners in various cabins to get those taters cooked.
Amazing. The last time I went out shooting was in December. I came down to The Colony from Kansas to visit my son and his family. We out to a friend of his in Combine to shoot. That’s almost spitting distance from this location.
Pshaw, it's nothing.
