Fortunately my buddy & I had an opportunity to hunt Presidio county this weekend for aoudad, mule deer & javelina.
We hunted with bows on Friday but the aoudad wouldn't let us get close enough. So we converted to rifles on the weekend.
First thing Saturday morning I was able to connect on an aoudad at 215 yards with my .270.
We hunted hard the remainder of Sat & the first part of Sunday.
Then late Sunday evening, my buddy connected on his aoudad with his 30-06 at 200 yards as the sun set...beautiful but hard to clean an animal on the rocky slopes in the wind/rain.
***Here is where the story changes: we get back to camp & the tent windows were left down & all our pillows, bags & clothes were wet. So we closed the windows & started a propane space heater to dry stuff out. We then went around the corner to cook up some food in a metal shelter. The wind was so bad that the space heater flipped over & started the whole tent on fire...cots, bags, boots & other items went up in smoke!!!
Thankfully our bows, guns, backpacks & other valuables were in the car & not list to fire.
Thankfully no injuries...someone was watching over us!
