Well
So I had talked to several of you about a trip back down Old Mexico way since things seem to be settling out some down there and the thoughts of all those millions of Redheads going unmolested just does not sit well with me.
I believe we best put it off a bit longer after all since this happened on our side of the border...

PRESIDIO COUNTY, Texas (WEAR) — A Pensacola doctor is recovering after he and another person were attacked while on a hunting trip in Texas.
The incident occurred while Edwin Roberts and several others were at the Circle Dug Ranch, which is 10 miles North West of Candelaria, Texas on Friday around 9:30 p.m.
Chief Deputy Joel Nunez said he responded to a call “of shots fired, multiple shooters and two individuals severely injured”.
Edwin Roberts, a chiropractor in Pensacola, was shot once in the arm, according to his family. Police say Walker Daughtry was shot in the abdomen.
Channel 3 News spoke to Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominquez. He would not elaborate on how the shooting happened or release any details on the case since it is still under investigation.
In a news release, Sheriff Dominquez did mention the attack was allegedly not linked to “cross border violence”.
Presidio Sheriff’s Department, the Texas Rangers and the Texas Department of Public Safety are investigating. The U.S. Border Patrol also responded to the scene.
Roberts, 59, was rushed to El Paso University Medical Center. He’s has undergone a second surgery.
Walker, 26, was flown via helicopter to El Paso for a gunshot to the abdomen.
According to a Go Fund Me account for Walker Daugherty, it states "they were involved in a shootout with some illegals, when the illegals tried to steal Walker's .. RV with them still inside" Ashely Boggs, Daugherty's girlfriend said.
The Circle Dug Ranch sits on 20,000 acres and is located in a mountainous area in Presidio County, Texas.
Edwin Roberts is a longtime business owner of Pensacola. He owns A Chiropractic Tradition, which is located on Mobile Highway.

On Friday evening, hunting guide Walker Daugherty, 26, was shot in the abdomen during a shootout with assailants at a South Texas hunting camp. A hunter in camp, Edwin Roberts, 59, also sustained shots to the arm during the robbery and possible kidnapping attempt.
According to a press release issued yesterday, the assailants fired upon an RV at the Circle Doug Ranch, where Daugherty and his party were staying during an aoudad hunt near the Texas–Mexico border. Daugherty and another guide returned fire to prevent the assailants from stealing the RV and kidnapping the hunter inside.
The ranch had recently experienced thefts, and Daugherty’s family believes that the attackers intended to kill the guides. They note that the shooters fired upon the camp from multiple locations, suggesting a coordinated effort to cut down the group.
Multiple law-enforcement agencies responded to emergency calls and were able to secure the ranch, but not before Daugherty and Roberts each suffered gunshot wounds. The men were taken to an El Paso hospital.
The shooting is still under investigation, but today the sheriff’s department told the local CBS affiliate that there’s no evidence supporting allegations of “cross-border violence.”
Daugherty, who does not have health insurance, has already undergone surgery and is in stable condition. A GoFundMe page has been set up to accept donations to help him cover medical expenses. “Walker and his fiancé, Ashley, were recently engaged and need all the help they can get right now,” the page states. “Any help or prayers are greatly appreciated. Praise God that [Daugherty] is stable and should pull through this.”
[Update: January, 9, 2016; 6:45 PM EST] Concerns have been raised about the accuracy of the press release cited above. Field & Stream has reached out to the Presidio County Sheriff’s Department for comment and is awaiting reply. This post will be updated when additional information is made available.
