I bumped some of the posts that still had pictures with rams from the ranch in the 2002 hunt forum for people to see some of the rams there.
Other info.:
Motel, Nueces River Motel, (830)234-3648 and is in Barksdale a few miles, approx.10, from the ram ranch gate. We get friday and saturday night at the ram ranch bunkhouses as part of the hunt but if you need a motel room, there's a number.
There's a camping place about 8 miles north of Barksdale on the road from Sonora, its called Ledge Water (888)597-CAMP, there's also one a few miles south of Barksdale and just south of Camp Wood called Cooksey Park where there is another motel called, Woodline Inn (830)597-2310.
The restaurants in Camp Wood are Old Timer Restaurant, Casa Falcon Restaurant, Tina's Country Kitchen (830)597-6444, and Manuel's Tacos (830)597-4300, some Inn 597-2310.
Ranch location:
MOST IMPORTANT INFO. 7 miles north of Barksdale up 335 in Vance is a turn to the right on 2631 to JoJanVan. 2.5 miles down 2631 before JoJanVan is the gate on the left, i.e. north side, with the sign to Thompson Temple's Ram Ranch with the combination that you need to get in, we'll get the combination later.
If you come down 335 from the north off of highway 41 and you get to Vance and the river crossing, you just missed the turn on 2631, turn around, it will right north of Vance. Vance has a few buildings and a phone booth, just a phone, not a booth. I don't know if the pay phone works.
