Skunks in October

Opening weekend of bow season has come and gone and I have a sore
backside to show for it. 16 hours were spent chasing Odocoileus
Virginianus with none spotted. Another member did score on a nice buck
and we all reveled in that. More to come...

Group Therapy

I would say that with practiced breathing and concentration the
Barnett Predator crossbow can be very effective. This was three
consecutive shots from 25 yards. Awesome!

Bass in the Heat

The only way to beat the summer heat and still catch bucket mouths is to go early in the morning. We hit Joe Pool Lake on Saturday early and got to see a great sunrise and catch a few fish as well.

Crossbows in Texas!!

Crossbows are soon to be legal during archery season in Texas for able bodied hunters. I look forward to utilizing a different harvesting method and have recently ordered a new crossbow:



I got it from Bow Hunters Superstore in PA. They have been really great so far and have really decent pricing so check them out if you get a chance.

First Fish

Took my daughter Rylee fishing on Father's Day and she reeled in a couple. She also held her first of many bass. We had a great time!!

Lake Fork

The trip to Lake Fork was a success in many ways. We caught some great fish and had a good time. We are still getting over the Bass Fishing learning curve, but it is getting better every time we go out. I caught the biggest bass so far at 4 pounds 11 ounces and it was on a Yellow Magic top water bait.



We stayed at Hook-Line-and-Sinker while there and it was a great place to stay. Check them out if you ever fancy a trip to Grande Bass territory:

The Owner's Fish

Bass Boats and Bunnies

Snuck away after searching out all the gifts left by the Easter
bunnies. The recently purchased bass boat that my brother bought
allowed us to catch our first fish. He was really little, but the
first fish is one that should be marked with a photograph.

High Water and High Cotton

The annual fishing trip was a success. All eight generators were
running most of the time but the fish were biting. Many trophies were
caught and released and we have the hatpins to prove it.

On the White

Eight hours in the urban soccer mom assualt vehicle and a night in a
seedy motel and we are on the river. May the fat torpedos be
plentiful and the hops and barley never run out. Updates to follow.

Hatpins and Hangovers

The group is on the way to the great White River. Beer will be
consumed, fish will be caught and memories will be made.

End of an Era

Picked up the permanent reminder of our time near Brady. It was a
trying season but a good one as well. This memorial will hang on the
wall to pay homage to the gift I have been given in having the time
and the resources to pursue the elusive whitetail deer.

Showing Promise

Moved and setup our stuff this weekend. The new property has some
real promise. We found the sign posts of the warchiefs all around the
property. We have cameras up and look forward to the results in the
next month before the adornments drop.

Moving Day

Well it has come to this. This past weekend we rounded up all our
gear and headed to a new lease near Eldorado. It took a large amount
of effort but we got it all done on one trip.
