Opening weekend was great at El Capote Ranch. The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time as always. This year we had Tio Pepe, Tio Sammy, Tio Fito, Cousin Ron and Cousin Al at the ranch. Friday night Ron made some awesome chicken enchiladas, rice and beans. Everyone relaxed and enjoyed the evening and the campfire while we waited for the morning to come. Saturday morning lots of deer and turkey were seen moving. It seems were seeing more wildlife that we have in a long time. Saturday afternoon was no different lots of movement was seen. Tio Eddie shot a nice 7 ptr. from the hill blind and Cousin Al shot a spike from Tio Fito's blind. It was very exciting and was a perfect afternoon. Back at camp Tio Sammy and Tio Fito were preparing a roasted wild pig. This was a fantastic meal. Sunday morning everyone went out and Ron was able to take a roughly 120lb hog from his blind. He also saw a very nice 9 ptr. but did not get a shot so hopefully we'll see him soon. Ron and Al left Sunday but the Tios stayed through Monday. We had a great time and we're thankful we have this wonderful place.
