2009 JHO Texas Exotics Hunt Axis
ProStaff Editor, Phillip Loughlin and a nice Texas Axis Buck |
Here's part of the tale:
I stepped through the door, out of the balmy, Texas spring afternoon, into the tiny, Mexican restaurant. The only other people in the place were about four locals, including the waitress, all gathered at the kitchen table. As the door swung shut behind me, I overheard a young lady in the group, complaining that, “I’ve been praying for God to send me a man.”
A slight gust of wind slammed the door behind me, and all eyes turned to this stranger come to town.
This wasn’t the opening scene of an old-style western (or a bad porn movie). It was just my introduction to the good people of Leakey, Texas (pronounced Lakey, not Leaky), population 387, and located right in the heart of the Texas Hill Country… hard alongside the Frio river (Rio Frio).
I was not here in answer to the prayers of the lovelorn. I’d come to town to hunt exotics, with my friend and guide, Shane Hearn, of Borderbandit Outfitting. This would be my third year hunting with Shane, but this was my first time staying right here in Leakey, and my first chance to get a taste for this awesome, little Texas town. I’ve been a long time away from the small-town life, and every minute spent here reminded me of how much I missed it.
