| I figured this would be a good thread for "Cull" to where he could keep the community informed of current and future plans and projects. I believe this will help get the word out when folks visit the site and read the forums, maybe pick up some more members and posters. Thoughts? | |

| Cull.. In reply to the message below, I do have a Trailer that is rather built well that we have a flat bottom boat on right now. I will try to snap some pics soon, its at my brothers house stored. Nothing special but has lights and is registerd. We realy do not use the boat and have talked about selling as we both own this togher. I would be more than happy to give this for the cause. Sell the boat, keep the trailer and use the money to build a box and mount. The catch is, my brother owns this with me so I have to sell him one the idea. I will get with him and show him the site and what we are trying to grow. Wish me luck and maybe we can get something rolling on this. Will update you all soon.
TCHA.....Announces A new special interest project. By design our organization works and hunts on many different ranches and in doing so we need to be a mobile group. On the same token our ability to succesfully execute special needs hunts (handicaped hunts) also depends on mobility. With that said I would like to build a bad-ass mobile handicaped accessable hunting stand. This mobile stand will be built on a flat bed trailer and remain fixed to that trailer. Painted camo by TCHA kids and from the bottom of the windows down will be used to advertise or thank donators for contributions. Once stand is in position to hunt we simply cover trailer and ads with camo burlap and get to hunting. We will be looking for a trailer to be used for this project. We have a few designs that i think will work but I believe that all design aspects will depend on what type of trailer we can scrounge up. Our houston area members could easily get the basic building materials needed from extras on job sites but the foundation (trailer) is going to be the hardest nut to crack. Just imagine one friday afternoon and sunday morning that mobile stand all painted up traveling from Houston to say Kerrville and back, the "buzz" from just the hunters alone might crash the website!!!! Lets take it a step further not only do we use it for our hunts we bring it to non-affiliated ranches that want to donate a hunt to a handicaped veteran but are not set up to accomodate.(Retaining rights to video tape and publish) Ill bet you one weekend with that with that rancher and he will be calling back to have our organization help with his deer management needs!! If yall would quietly investigate the possibility of a donated or extremely cheap trailer(The Change has gotten us all) I would greatly appriciate your help This could be the vehicle that gets us the exposure and affiliates to keep our freezers full and help others at the same time!! EAT THE MEAT!! President TCHA.......Cull

Thats very generous of you let me know if I can help sell your bro on the idea trade or barter you know. I can give yall a donation recipt you might could get a write off? We are not a registerd non-profit. But by design we are a non-profit we dont charge any fees for anything including membership and we have no sponsers. YET!! I promise to you or whoever donates we will use the trailer only for this cause and nothing else as it will be secured to the trailer in a permenant manner!!! Thanks so much Cull | |

I would hate for yall to be out any $$ on this and I think the boat trailer would take a lot of re-working to accomodate the box. It can be done we have some tallented guys in our fold. Lets figure out a way to do this and yall not get hit in the wallet at the same time. Reddog had a good idea it does look like a good duck huntin boat maybe talk with your bro and come up with an acceptable number for boat or boat and trailer and get it to reddog he knows a lot of duck hunters maybe its just what one of them is lookinn for. Also put it in the trading post here maybe a browser might need it . Thanks Cull | |

| Thanks Hunt,
There are other things in the works but I have found until we have an aggrement it is always better to keep those things under my hat. It sucks to tell people yeah we are doing this gig, and then the rancher has a change of heart. How about you? Talk to any ranchers in your area I have found the best way to get something going is to go out and start it. When we started this thing I hung out at feed stores looking for farm truck plates and starting casual conversations with the drivers got our first projects going! I think that as quickly as our membership is growing we will need members to try to get ranches in thier area interested and in contact with me. As they say the bird dog always hunts!!

I forgot to tell you that I am really impressed with the work you and the others have put in to this forum with out yall it would still be me just posting off beat articles and scratching my head. We are just starting to get some recognition and in time I belive we can be a LOUD and RESPECTED voice in Texas hunting! Good men with Honerable Intentions are a force to be reckoned with!!!!!

| I've had a few customers out in the country areas, small ranches and farms. While their not big enough to hunt on, they know others that are, so I've been passing on the info. Hopefully something will come from it. | |

| Another Project Completed
Robert Scherer of The World Class White Tail Ranch and American Rod smiths contacted me to see if we could help with an add on he wanted to get done before Thanks Giving. I met him at his offices and he told me about what he wanted to build and wanted to know if we could make the dead line. I responded with “Hell Yeah” we shook hands and I headed for my office. On the short drive I made a few phone calls To some of the primary members of TCHA to see of their availability and you guessed it They all said “Hell Yeah” also. I needed 2 Carpenters 1 Electrician and a Plumber just in case. I had a crew assembled before I got to the office!
At my desk I put together a material list and got it to Mr. Scherer. After double checking With the crew I committed to November 19th as a start date and to be finished on the 21st It was tough but we did it!! The Carpenters are the Heroes on this project those guys did not stop working the entire weekend, they didn’t even see the ranch aside from the road Going in to camp and camp itself!
The electrical work related to the project was pretty light so the electrician took care of A couple of other repairs the ranch needed.” Way to go Sparky”!!
The Plumber helped with whatever we needed but it was not much because we had it covered pretty well and no emergencies raised their ugly head. So he helped the hunters on the ranch with what ever they needed! “Great job Mr. Plumber”!
We would also like to thank the staff, crew, and hunters at the World Class White Tail Ranch for making us feel at home and for their comoradrie! “Yall Rock”
Since there was a little free time on Sunday morning for the electrician and since he is a newer member and this was his first TCHA labor for cull job we thought it would be cool If he could get a doe for his freezer. Pics and video comeing soon.
As for the rest of us we will be scheduling with Mr. Scherer as to when we will return to Hunt!!!!!!!
“Yeah Team”………………………………Jeff Jeter TCHA

| Thanks Reddog
You would have been real proud of this crew, they made us look like the pros that we are. also Mr Scherer has a buddy with a ranch in Freer that has a hog problem that we might could help with! Dont know any particulars at this time but I will talk to the man after Thanksgiving and see. We dont usually do labor for cull for feral hogs. But if we have guys who want to than thats something we would have to concider.

| Going to Hebbronville next weekend to do the cull hunt for the (world class white tail ranch) the place where we built the pantry and did some electrical work for Robert Scherer. Robert owns American Rodsmiths a custom fishing rod company that has done a lot for TCHA. Heck they even sponser our bbq cook off team! The next time youre going to buy a new fishing rod look into American Rodsmiths they are some of the best made and they are made in Houston Texas by Texans who care about your out door life style and the future of hunting and fishing in our great state!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will post pics of hunt as soon as I can. It will be a while longer for the edited video of the job and hunt...................................................................................................Cull | |

| Thanks guys will do, The cull list is quite nice indeed there is 5 men going from our group and there will be other hunters there as well. most of wich are people we know so it will be a large time for sure!!!!
The list consists of 4 cull bucks two 6s and two 7s also there are two injured book bucks one in the 150s and one in the 170s!!!!!!!!!!!! orders are to take the injured ones if they show. There are also 20 does to cull wich is the best part if you ask me!
Even better is that the bucks are reserved for TCHA members!! The other hunters and my self will be hunting does! "I got enough old stinky buck meat in the freezer already"
P.S. This is land management property so you can still kill bucks up untill feb. 28th ...................................Cull | |
