USA MacNab Invitation...
      #126874 - 13/02/09 03:21 PM

Anyone wish to join in on a US version of a MacNab, done with a drilling or other combination gun? I can bring a couple of loaners, if you need one to join in.

It will take place near Abilene TX May 6,7,8. The fur is bore; feather is Rio Grande turkey, and the fin is bass...catch & release; you can keep several big catfish. There are also exotics and predators available.

Due to little interest and fewer commitments, this won't happen.

Looks like your post was up for less than 15 hours - may want to wait a little longer? Sounds like fun, but unfortunately I won't be able to make it. Thanks anyway...

THANKS for your interest!

We had been talking about this over on AR for a while, but it didn't work out for most concerned regarding a spring get-together.

It would be GREAT to have some hunters from GB and Europe over here for the event. With 10 hunters, the whole ranch would be ours, and we would have a Big Texas BBQ the last afternoon.

It appears that most of the interested are more interested in a fall event, so we have the needed time to put together something and firm up reservations.

Dos Plumas wants to please us and have this as an annual event...maybe twice a year...Spring and Fall.

We could have combo rifle and shotgun competitions, also.

It would make for a fun "You show me yours, and I'll show you mine" (GUNS! ) event.

I figure it would be a blast but as a victim of wife abuse I'm stuck in WV

Just to generate some more interest, let's view a few on here. I'll do a couple of Dad's.

Would anyone care to offer a definition of a MacNab? It's not a term I'm familiar with at all. As far as drillings are concerned, I might be able to dredge one or two up from the gun room.

In Scotland it MacNab is achieved when the sportsman takes a red stag, a brace of grouse, and catches a salmon all within a 24 hour period.

We were a bit less ambitious, however. Our Fur, Feather, Fin were to be a bore, a Rio Grand turkey, and a bass.

I had a ranch there that had that, plus deer and exotics available. There are also coyotes and bobcats. In the fall quail would be in season.

They have an $850.00 special turkey hunt for two birds, two hogs, and bass fishing and in addition three nights lodging in the bunkhouse and meals. A third turkey was $150.00 extra and added hogs were @ $100.00. The bass were catch & release, but they allowed keeping three catfish; we would have a fish-fry one evening and a Big Texas BBQ the last...

They also have clays courses for friendly competitions.

I'm making nothing on this and simply wanted combo-gunners to get together and do all the hunting with one gun.

We could have expanded this a bit and done a hog, turkey/brace of quail, bass, and predator.

Well...it was a thought...
