Yes the Big 12 North was cake. Big Ten West is awful too but we ended up having 2 of the worst coaches in the nation for 9 years and we're still feeling the aftermath.
Different kind of hunting but have you ever hunted Joshua Creek Ranch outside Boerne/Welfare? Only reason I ask is I was a hunting guide out there from 94’-97’. I had 3 pointers and a English Setter that I ran out there and used a few of their ranch dogs . They had about 50 dogs in their kennel back then plus they hired 5 or 6 outside guides. Joe Kerchiville the owner has that investment firm up there at the corner of 1604 and I-10. He’s kind of an asshole but the gig paid good back then, walked about 5 miles a day. A lot of fun and some funny stories to tell from my days out there.
Not sure how it is now but when I was there Joe was getting his birds out of a guy from So. Texas. We hunted quail, chukkar, Hungarian partridge and pheasant. The guy he got his birds from would run cocker spaniels in those cages to get those birds flighty. They flushed pretty damn good by the time they were delivered to us. Speaking of cocker spaniels, until I worked out there I’d never seen a cocker spaniel do anything but lay around and be worthless. Usually, we’d hunt pheasants in the field with the other game birds but the ranch had about 5 or 6 of those cocker spaniels and we’d do a pheasant hunt every now and then in a tall maze field using blockers on one end and those damn cocker spaniels criss crossing in front of the hunters about a million miles an hour. Those dogs could work. If you ever get a chance to go out there you’d probably enjoy it, it’s a top notch place. Not sure of the prices now but back then just a basic 3 or 4 hour hunt was $400.
Interesting. I guess I would have never associated hunting Chukkar in Nevada. I had to google it to be honest
