I met Ray and Tyler at the Bass Pro Shop just north of DFW airport this afternoon.They were wanting to see some sights and get Tyler some boots I think.Ray did pretty well with the flight, but his back was bothering him pretty bad.We had a good visit,and I was just really impressed at how nice of folks they are and what a great bond they have, and how hard Ray works at this inspite being in pain most all of the time.It was really nice to meet them and I wish them the best of luck on their Texas hunt.

Here we are in DALLAS TEXAS

. Paul, it was a pleasure meeting you sir, a true Texas gentleman that I have read about for years. I've learned one thing so far, nearly everyone wears a cowboy hat and most trucks have a huge brush guard attached to the truck. We went out to dinner last night and shared Vinson, ostrich, and buffalo burgers. What a treat that was

. My back has got me pretty bad and the the bed (slab) at the hotel last night didn't help I'm fighting on. My back will not ruin this for me

. Hope you all are well and I'll stay in touch if the wireless card works at the ranch. Oh, Mike P. you are a man of you're word buddy. The sunset last night was spectacular, folks are blowing their horns at my dumbazz and flicking me the bird when I'm trying to figure out which lane to get in. This place is huge!!!!!!!!!

Ray those guys are all from Austin and are just giving you the "hook em horns" gesture.

Those that only show you one horn with the hand gesture are not native Texans.

For the most part, they are gay men from Oklahoma.

Ray,
Enjoy the hunt, but you might want to avoid contact with those guys Mike says are from Oklahoma.

What a pleasure that must have been to meet them.
My daughter Kelly met Ray when he drove 4 hours round trip to go see her in the hospital.

Good luck in Texas guy's.
PS Tyler,you have an e mail from me,I sent it to your daddy's address,I can't find yours.

Good luck to you both and put a Texas Trophy down boy's

All I can say is that I do not doubt that Ray and Tyler are great guys.

Ray, I feel for you with the pain. I know what it is because it has kept me from hunting far too many times. Other things too, but I just carry on and do whatever I can and thank the Lord for what I am still able to do.
