I also went to a writers' turkey hunt at the YO Ranch in the hill country near Kerrville, TX. One of the brothers who own it has a personal gun collection in a concrete bunker/basement under his house. It has a vault door on it from an old Texas bank, a Val Verde bank if I remember right.
Could this be it, Allan? In 2008, we had a forum discussion about the gun room behind this door - a huge complex with all kinds of firearms - but never could identify where it came from. It would be fun if it was the one you saw!

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I've been to the museum and I agree, it's worth a stop if you're traveling through. Back when they first opened it the Texas Outdoor Writers Association had a meeting there and we got an early look at it. It started out right off Hwy 35 on the south bank of the Brazos River in Waco. I imagine it has grown since then. I also went to a writers' turkey hunt at the YO Ranch in the hill country near Kerrville, TX. One of the brothers who own it has a personal gun collection in a concrete bunker/basement under his house. It has a vault door on it from an old Texas bank, a Val Verde bank if I remember right. He has a partial wall of guns carried by Texas Rangers along with the history of the ranger who carried each gun. The Texas Rangers are probably one of the best known, most storied, and most readily identifiable law enforcement agencies in the country. |
