On mine, you pull the face strait off and the batteries go in it.

Do they have batteries in them? I had to replace mine last night.
Not named after a Texas Ranger. Originally named Murphyville changed to Alpine. The Texas Ranger you are thinking of is Joaquin Jackson who lived here.
The Guadalupe Mountains are not near Alpine. That’s Dell City towards El Paso.
I’m somewhat familiar with it. I live in Alpine.
I live in Alpine TX. My sister lives in Ruidosa TX.

Jeff Davis, Brewster, Terrell and South Pecos Counties. Some in northern Presidio. I live just outside of Alpine in Brewster county. I see elk and pronghorn between here and Fort Davis most often. Now the mule deer. Damn, there are so many of them. I see them daily. They walk through town and have no fear of people. My buddy has 1100 acres, if I want some meat it is real easy. Not even hunting, just drive the ranch, see one, shoot it, done.

Check out High West Outfitters. Southwest Texas, My choice would be Brewster, Jeff Davis or Presidio Counties. Rugged terrain and beautiful. Take a Mule Deer off a Mountain.

There will be a long wait to enter the park during spring break. Also parking at the trail heads is limited. Get there early or you may not find a spot. If you stay in Alpine you can take the short hike up Hancock Hill and visit the Museum of Big Bend at Sul Ross. For lodging check out Chola Ranch Camp in Alpine.

PRESIDIO, TEXAS - Hunting Accident
Sunday, December 3, 2023 - Presidio County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a call of a hunting accident this morning at approximately 10:30 a.m. for a fifteen year old male who was fatally shot in the chest while preparing rifles to go hunting. The incident occurred several miles North of Presidio in a well known hunting area West of Highway 67. Family members immediately transported the gunshot victim to Marfa in a personal vehicle escorted by Deputies where they met with the Marfa Amblulance which then proceeded to Alpine BBRMC. Despite all efforts, the victim was declared deceased on arrival. The family was on their yearly hunting trip to Presidio County.
Names are not given with respect to the family. The case was referred to Texas Rangers for further investigation.

I saw the the emergency vehicles coming through Alpine and family vehicle following. Heart breaking.
Enjoyed a few cold ones and great conversation with him at George’s also.
She would get in the truck and drive to her favorite store. It is a drive thru where she gets treats. She would then come home put on my house shoes, sit in my recliner watch shows with animals and cuss at them.
You made me go look. 4 trailer wheels ready to go. Fits the enclosed and other. 2 new for the motorcycle. 2 for the dolly. But I also have a friend with a used tire shop. A story but hanging at the shop is interesting.
Yes, I live in Alpine TX and my front yard is all red rock with a creek bed of large rocks. I have ocotillos, red yuccas and a small cholla. Rock is expensive and I’m in a constant battle with these west Texas weeds.

The kind of people drawn to these remote areas and the lack of nearby law enforcement means that disputes between neighbors frequently happen and can get out of control quickly.


This makes me laugh. I have lived in Brewster County for 12 years. I know land owners from the border to town and people in Alpine city limits, never heard of this. I spend time on ranches along the border in Brewster and Presidio County.
The misconceptions in this thread are entertaining. I hope it keeps people away.
