The planning stages for TCMS XI are in the works. At this point the plan is to hold the event in October 2016. (Yes, I know that is a looonnnggg way away!) The range we are considering is Hiciksville Range, in Gatesville. The closest lodging we could find is in Whitney.
We have already had one recon trip, which was not very productive due to heavy rains. The entire recon crew checked out one of the places we are considering staying. The majority of us fell in love with the place, even though it was a gloomy weekend. It made for some fun joking about being the perfect place to film a horror movie, especially with the creepy & trashy road to the resort. We all agreed that the pavilion was awesome; it is big enough to hold all of us without bumping into each other.
NYTexan & BuckeyeTexan checked out the other place. I liked it from looking at their website, but was not impressed with the pictures that Buckeye sent me. She & I are going to do another recon so that I can see it in person. There is also one more location we will look at. The one negative for both of those places is the size of their pavilions ~ we need lots of room to move & mingle.
Next week Eaker, humblegunner and I are going to Hicksville Range for a look see and discuss pricing.
Stay tuned for more info . . .
That'd be awesome.
Maybe i missed it.
I will reconfirm
No it was Tx park ranger who was assigned to a place the public could not access.
The buttheads gone
The alligator slough is state land
The alligator slough is state land and not accessible to the public
I’m gonna be pissed if Scott effed up the resos
I have # 7 on the 7th and 8th, cpdiii gets the spare bunk.
It’ll all work out, it always does
I just wanna have breakyfast with all you lovely freepers
Maybe I missed it, I’m rolling in money LOL
I got Brisket and a new grill.
I now work part time as opposed to full time. The part time work pays for my vices like good whiskey and cognac, things that go bang and feeding the things that go bang. Life is good.
I also informed my boss that I no longer work Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during gliding season. I have been flying gliders since 1977 and it is my passion only second to the Constitution and my wife. He is also aware that Texas Cowboy Shoots are “Verbotten” days that I will work.
Will Jim Rob and family make this shoot? I had communicated with him some months back and he was intending to make the shoot.
JIM ROD IS THE MAN!
Looking forward to seeing the gang again.

“The alligator slough is state land”
Where is the alligator slough? Is it upriver from where we shoot? I’m trying to get a picture of what area this ranger was concerned with.
These jack weeds are most concerned that we coddle us some gators but they are very dangerous so the public cant come in.

Mickeys is open to anyone who pays.
Ive been to this rodeo before all that trailed closed stuff is code for we want our on private Idaho for smoking dope and getting nekkid with the girls LOL
“environmentally unique and sensitive”
Thats code for only we can smoke dope and get nekkid here LOL
From your link:
“The use of alcohol, motorized vehicles, fireworks, or weapons is not permitted within the Preserve.”
Good thing our shooting range isn’t located inside the ‘Preserve’. It’s got to irk the hell out of the eco-weenies that all of that goes on right next door.
You ask me, those gators are a pest that ought to fetch a bounty.
“Only we who are experts have the sensitivity to manage this area.”
Seems to me we all manage across the river just fine
Enviroweenies in Dallas want Mickeys land bad and they have tried all kinds of ways to make it their private playground.
Next time I see ya I’ll give you an earfull LOL
You get my drift, we aint smoking dope or drinking we are just lighting up some BBQ and guns in the river bottom and they have a different view.
Ecoweenies... LOL
Gators pretty good grilled
“Enviroweenies in Dallas want Mickeys land bad and they have tried all kinds of ways to make it their private playground.”
No doubt, they’ve tried everything except offering to buy his land at a handsome profit.
They’re probably following Obama’s jack booted thug model. Just use the power of government to take it from him.
I swear, these people are intent on pushing Americans to the breaking point. They obviously have no idea what their world is gonna look like, if they do.
“Gators pretty good grilled”
My wife is from Florida. She loves her some fried gator tail.
Man, you come up with some of the most interesting music vids. Most are bands I’ve never heard of.
I guess I like some obscure stuff too. I’ll post links to some at an appropriate time.
