Summary:
First time flats fishing in Florida for family vacation. Say that 10x real fast. Advice to Lion Hunters - practice shooting first
Summary:
I don't know the facts behind this video clip. I have been told it was a "canned" hunt in Africa. It went wrong. Lucky no one was seriously injured and the Guide saved the day.
The Young Guns - The 2006 4H Shooting Sports State Championship
Summary: This summer the TexasHuntFish.com Team went to the National Shooting Center in San Antonio to watch the 4H Shooting Sports Texas State Championship Competition.
640 kids between the ages of 8 and 18, with families and friends watching, competed in several sports, including International Skeet, American Skeet and Trap. Biased by my 6th generation connection to Houston County, I was also there to cheer for my cousins, Katelyn and John Lenderman. There are for divisions:
The day we arrived, my cousin Katelynn won 1st Place, International Skeet, Seniors 2 Division. Last year she came home with 5 2nd Place trophies and this year she had one goal - win 1st Place in something. Mission accomplished. For those that do not know, (including me) I was told that International Skeet is an Olympic Sport. It differs from American Skeet in several ways: The clay targets (called pigeons or birds) travel much faster than American Skeet (I don't know how fast but it was hard to see them fly by). The clay targets are launched at random angles and at random elevation, where as American is not random. (Anyone who knows better should feel free to comment!) My understanding of American Skeet is that they shoot 25 shots from the "high house" and "low house" from 8 different positions called stations. Seniors 1 and 2 shoot a total of 100 shots and highest score wins. The other divisions shoot 75 shots. Ties are broke by a "sudden death" shoot off where the first person to miss looses. We also welcome people to comment, ask questions, and to all the people who attended, feel free to upload your own photos of kids shooting on this thread. We hope the kids enjoy the TexasHuntfish.com Shooting Towels we handed out. They disappeared quickly. Jason Beginners Luck...
Summary:
No, its not my first time duck hunting. But, it is my first time duck hunting on the Texas coast by airboat. I wasn't in a groove yet and in the process of meeting the team on the dock at 4:30am, I forgot my raincoat. I learned a good lesson and can't begin to explain how cold I was on the return 20 mile airboat ride, soaked through, without a jacket. The only think I was able to keep dry was my camera. 9 Year Old Girl's "First Deer"
Summary:
My daughter harvested her first whitetail this afternoon. It was a doe, using a Horton HD175 crossbow. Other than providing some forearm support because of how nose-heavy crossbows are, she did everything else on her own. The doe was at about 15 yards, and we had already spooked off a handful of deer learning to not move and be quiet. I am looking forward to sharing the rest of the photos and video, along with her version of the story. It was a very wonderful day. Take a child hunting if you can. Texas Hog Hunting on the Perdernales River
Summary:
Here are some photos we took of our day. The first is Chris having fun in the blind. The second is our first assault on the hog population. We did not get a photo of the hogs John shot at night, but the sound of impact and the squeal of wild pigs makes us confident that three more hogs lost their lives. The last photo is John Schwarzlose, Steve Germer, and me (Jason Parrish), with Chris Weidner behind the camera as usual. Chris Colbert on his first Desert Mule Deer Hunt
Summary:
A short video of Chris and his first West Texas Mule Deer. Elk Hunting in NM we saw Turkey almost every day
Summary: I was surprised - only because of my ignorance - to see wild turkey running around almost every day in Costilla, New Mexico, during our Elk Hunt. We are driving at 9000 ft. elevation, after one of the first snow storms of the season, and we must have seen four different groups of wild turkey. Apparently, because of the quality elk, bear, mule, and mountain lion, people don't really talk about turkey hunting in these parts.
PART 1: Realtree's David Blanton shares his experiences in the field
Summary: Part 1:
David Blanton shares his experiences in the field. We were fortunate to gather in a small group at the Texas Trophy Hunters Extravaganza last month and listen to David Blanton talk about some of the things he has learned over the last 16 years of working with a camera in the woods. Below is a list of some of his most interesting comments: Wind trumps everything. If the wind is wrong, no matter what, you are better off moving. Temperature above “normal” usually ruins the hunt. Don’t wear your hunting clothes into a convenience store on your way to the hunt (pick up all types of scents that won’t go away for awhile) Human urine is different from human body odor. URINE does NOT affect deer. Test it, take a leak on a deer scrape and set a camera up and see how the dominant buck comes back to check on the scent. The point is, people often worry about the wrong things. David doesn’t like to hunt in the peak of the rut because of “lock down”. This is when a big mature buck “pens” a doe and doesn’t let her move for 24-72 hrs until he breeds her. Thus, you are probably not going to see the big mature buck during this time. #1 Best Time to Hunt: Pre-rut. In the Midwest, that is the last few days of October and the first days of November. Depending on where you are, such as South Texas, those dates are very different, but try to get out there during the pre-rut. This is a great time to grunt and rattle. #2 Best Time to Hunt: Usually the first week of bow season when the bucks are just finishing polishing out. They are still focused on late summer feeding routines, are easily patterened, and very predictable. If you use Dove Decoys or Turkey Decoys or Duck Decoys, try using a Doe Decoy. Set up a doe decoy with her bedded down. Consider setting up a second decoy with a “buck kit”. If you see a dominant buck coming in and licking his nose, he is coming in with intent. If you are trying to rattle while bowhunting, it is very hard because the first thing a big buck does is move downwind. Therefore, only rattle when you have a crosswind and only rattle when you can see the buck. When setting up, “back cover” is more important than “front cover”. People often hide behind something, but don’t think about whether or not there is sufficient back cover to block their shape. Mountain Man in NM telling me about a knife he made from his Dad's wood file
Summary: This is not an actor. He is a real Mountain Man. Please excuse his use of swear words. The knife he made is beautiful. It is hard to believe the blade started out as a big wood file. I met him while Elk hunting for the first time in New Mexico.
