Hem hunt on Hemlett - Poachard Ranch August 12-14, 1977 Ken Morrish an I arrived at San Felipe Ranch at 3:00 PM, Friday. Written an how Bill and Dave had provided us with a Jeep. Two companion - Bob Breen and Bill's son-in-law from Paris, Jean Paul G.(?) -- and we set out up Henderson Ridge. Found few deer at low elevation but Ken shot a very large forked-horn in velvet, good as fat. His tines were abnormally small. Close the radio relay station we found lots of deer and Bob an I each took a good sized fork - both three-year olds. Saturday morning Ernie Arbuckle replaced Jean Paul in our crew. He went back up Henderson and worked our way to the far end of the pine ridge. Ken stalked and killed a nice 3-pointer who was peeking out of a pine thicket watching Bob Breen, who played "decoy". Ken shot off-hand at the white throat patch - all he could see - and hit it dead center. Ernie took a nice fork on the way down. Bob left at noon and Steve Chichering took his place. Again Dave sent me up Henderson which was fine with me - there were plenty of deer up there. I shot a small 4-pointer.
