A Yellow Garden Spider preparing to consume a Green Caterpillar at our house in East Texas. Although it looks like the film is on fast forward, it is real time. The spider moves that fast!

30-06 and a .338 Win Mag. take out a few east Texas hogs on patrol.  Never get tired of hog hunting videos.

I met Atascosa Wildlife Supply at the Annual Texas Wildlife Association Meeting, then at all three Texas Trophy Hunter's Extravaganzas, and then finally at the Texas Deer Association Annual Meeting. Each time they tried to sell me a deer stand. I wanted a deer stand since Hurricane Rita knocked down our old tower blind in East Texas.

I tried to not buy the most expensive deer stand in Texas, but every time I talked to a welder or another supplier of deer stands and explained that I wanted a tower blind with a staircase that would hold me and my three kids, that would be safe enough for my little kids to walk up and down in the dark, and would have a floor height of at least 14", they said they could do it but highly recommended that I didn't. They all told me 10' is all I needed. Finally I started asking who they would recommend if this is what I had to have and they all said "Atascosa".

In the end, the stand worked out great!

However, this video of their install is a different story. I will let you be the judge.

Good Job!  I was helping some friends out this past weekend in Weatherford, around the 3100 block of Zion Hill.  Saturday morning, saw a very nice 8pt standing on the east side of the road.  I have seen some very nice deer and big hogs near Weatherford.  Keep having fun and enjoying the season.

East Texas bow hunting of a whitetail deer. (spike!)  He gets a little bit excited after his shot! HA.

My wife has never really enjoyed fishing with me and the kids at our place in East Texas. I don't know it if standing on the bank of a pond, the murky water, occassional cotton mouth snake, constant mosquitoes and fireants, or general heat and humidity? But in the Florida Keys she was as excited as the kids to fish.

Here's some video of one laid back East Texas fisherman and guide, Larry Rawlinson.  Larry does some catch and release on a nice 4 lb. Native Black Bass on Lake Striker Texas.

Caught on a black/red flake "Zoom Lizard."

Some mighty satisfying East Texas fishing near Paris, Texas.

Nice head shot on this east Texas hog.
