It all depends. Are those 40 people vegetarians?

How thick should the ribeyes be cut? 3/4" or 1" ? Bryant, You don't want to come on this trip... Hog hunting, good food, and floating the Frio all on the same weekend... I am not sure you can handle it |

We do a lot of guided hunts and it is better to have too much than not enough. Also is it 40 men or 40 women men eat more for the most part. On meat better figgure half pound per person approximately fajita meat or if they eat meat like I do better have 2 pounds per person lol

You should take into account if the BTFR factor is important on this weekend
BTFR = Booze to Food Ratio

Purebreed,
Thanks for the info. It will be pretty well split 50/50 men and women. I have heard the 1/2# per person on the meat, so I figured to err on the safe side and plan on 3/4# per person.
The condiments is where I am having most of my trouble, cheese, sour cream, chips, sodas, etc.

Chris...WIth plenty of sides, I usually figure 1/4 to 1/2 lb of meat each. All men, I would go more but you should be fine with 1/2lb each on a mixed crowd. Keep in mind with your fajita meat that beef will yield about 1/2 to 3/4 of pre-cooked weight...chicken not so bad.
As for condiments, sour cream goes a long way...I would do about a small tub per 8 people or so. Cheese, maybe a sack per the same. Ribeyes, I would have cut 1", but allow a little more cooking time.
Drinks (especially beer) are hard to guesstimate. Some people might not drink any...others might not quit till it's all gone. I've catered lots of functions and rarely are any beverages left over. Buy what you feel like buying and when it's gone, others can chip in.

JDT, If you were to travel to the Texas Hill Country, you might never want to leave and return to Tennessee... then who would take care of your mules? In case the food wasn't enough to give you the " I wants" Here's a photo of the river we'll be tubing.  Here's a typical hog from the ranch.  |

Every time we see or catch a hog in a trap on our place they have nasty cutters on them! Id have to say that the Texas Hill Country is a dang good region for trophy hogs.

What ranch are you Axis hunting on? A member of ETHD, wcoutdoors, has a real nice ranch, with some awesome axis on it. He's about 5 miles south of Garvin's Store.

Its a small low fence place just South of Leakey that me and a few friends lease owned by the Kings. The place is absolutely loaded with free ranging axis and black buck. The sign over the entrance says " The King Ranch" but they are no relation to their neighbors down South.
