Texas has lost a legend.  That word "legend" is often over used in this day and age but Bob was a true Texas, hunting legend.  If you hunt in Texas or pretty much anywhere in North America that uses conservation, you stand on Bob's shoulders.

Bob worked as a Game Warden and Biologist on the YO Ranch, back when it was a real ranch.  Bob helped to push the idea that Whitetail Does need to be killed also.  He was met with much resistance when a lot of ranchers of the day didn't want to kill the "mother deer".  Only Gillespie, Kerr and Mason Counties allowed Bob's ideas to be pushed forward.  Now, pretty much all counties have some sort of deer management based on Bob's work way back in the 1950's.

Bob rattled up over 1000 bucks in his life.  If you rattle horns in TX, you stand on his shoulders.  He taught the TTHA how it was done.  He napped the arrowheads worn by astornauts on the moon, he knew James Michener and Elmer Kelton.  He knew the famous Newton Boys when they were robbing banks in South Texas.  He knew why the great Russian Boar were found in TX.  He was a great Aggie, he was a great Hunter, he was a great man.

If you hunt in Texas today, you stand on Bob Ramsey's shoulders.  All honor to the Cowboy, Rancher and Hunter who at 94+ years of age has gone on before us.
