SUMMARY
REMARKS |
|
| Problems
of Hunt: |
None. We shot all 4 javelina from a single "herd", picked out the larger boars. Big tuskers. |
| Highlights
of Hunt: |
Malcolm is a bona fide cowboy who rodeo'd most of his life. He still raises broncs & roping cattle for rodeo events. A great guide & host. |
| Equipment
Recommendations: |
My wife & I opted to rent a house in Alpine, 25 minutes away from the ranch but the $1,000 2-day hunt fee includes cabin lodging & meals & 4 javelina. Malcolm also guides on his ranch for resident elk & mulies. |

ADDITIONAL
HUNTER COMMENTS AND/OR OUTFITTER/BOOKING AGENT REBUTTAL |
|
|
This is true deep West Texas wild country, all low fence, free-ranging animals. Ask Malcolm about his adventures with The Queen of England & Willie Nelson, among others. Or ask about any flora or fauna in West Texas. We made a new friend.
