    FART XVIII...A Look Back At A Good One....

    This years trip was a little different than those of years passed, I hope you’ll forgive us.

    Circumstances (that will not be discussed here) dictated that a change in format was inevitable, so in order to give back to the ranch/family, tags had to be sold (prices won’t be discussed here either). Ben did not want to just sell tags and let strangers on the ranch, so I was lucky enough to get another invite to guide and help out, I really appreciate every chance. There is nothing like being on that ranch.

    ALL due respect to previous FART participants, we were fortunate to get another great group of TBH guys this year. The state of New Mexico also made changes and moved all of the seasons to August this year. If none of you have noticed, none of us are getting younger, and we are also not getting any more likely to sleep in tents in August on the high desert....so you will note a camp scene change as well.

    Changes be ****ed, the show went on...






    I’m gonna leave most of this to the other guys, and I will throw in what pics I have.

    It’s worth noting that Steven’s MANY skills were sorely missed (none more than his artistic talents), Heath’s breakfast and all around vibe was missed, and every past participant was missed in some way. You were all spoken of, and celebrated fondly.

              It’s a special place and I’m **** proud to put footprints on the ranch and have a lope on my wall to show. I’m sure you guys had a blast.

                Camping on a different part of the ranch took me through some country I wanted to see for a while.

                    Ever since seeing the pics, and reading about the first few FARTS, I’ve been dying to check out this country.
                    When I got the call months ago, I quickly jumped at the opportunity.
                    Had no idea how magical this property was until I saw it live. Snakes, rocks, old houses, critters, duck noises, beer, fireball, whiskey, ghost noises, etc.. Loved all of it.
                    Never was much of a goat hunter, but now can appreciate the effort. Drive, glass, drive, glass, drive , glass.. Kinda boring, but exciting at the same time. Never know what’s over the next ridge, or behind the next cactus.
                    Was lucky enough to have Zach & Dale as my guide/chauffeur. They aren’t as picky as Ben. Lol. On the morning of day two, we snuck up on a nice goat at 800 yards. Were able to close the distance to 350, and set up for a shot. Goat started walking left to right, and I sent lead. He hit the dirt at 370. As we got closer, he decided to get back up, so I put another one in him. Goats are tough!
                    Can’t thank the guys enough for the awesome trip. Won’t forget it!
                    Here are a few pics. Most have been seen before, but these are newer!

                            More than once I wished we had a big camera, and the talent to run it...

                              Magical seems like it describes it well. Love that country out there. Congrats on the antelope.
