Bucket List Trip to Texas at the worst possible time

[robsev]

I scheduled a bucket list trip to Texas, to start on February 17 with the idea of hunting in some nice weather. Boy, did I miscalculate! The last 100 miles were on glare ice. The first 2 days - no electricity, no water, one little tiny propane heater to heat the entire house. The only thing I had to eat was some jerky and a bag of chips. On the high side, I was successful, with lots of interesting stories.

The paid weather guessers got it right. Power providers not so much. Let’s hear the stories.

Sounds like normal WY hunting to me ;-)

Congrats on the success!

Very nicely done!! The oryx picture in the snow is not one you see every day.

Nice pictures!

Mason Mountain Wildlife Management Area is reporting that they lost almost 50% of their Waterbuck, 20% of the Gemsbok Oryx and 10-15% of the Scimitar-Horned Oryx and Axis deer during the cool down.
