Empty Freezer

       As this hunting season winds down this month, it has become more of a reality of the possiblity that I might just have got skunked this season with no animals harvested.  With the exception of the nice doe my son shot in November, me, my brother in law and others in our hunting group have ha...

My Son's 1st Deer My Son's 1st Deer

      I have accomplished many things in my life, but taking my son hunting and seeing him shoot his first deer has to be one of the greatest moments ever for me.  We are so fortunate to be able to make a phone call to "Rancho Sueno Mio" owner Juan Marin and get permission to reserve some blind tim...

Hunting as an Employee Benefit

     I want to share a story of a hunt that I was invited on a couple years ago by a family doctor out of San Antonio named Dr. Pinkley.  He runs a small office off I-10 and Dezavala where my wife was employed when we first moved to San Antonio from Corpus Christi.  Dr. Pinkley recently purchased a...

Border Construction Dove Hunt

September in San Antonio September in San Antonio

      Thank baby Jesus that Dove Season has finally arrived and the Whitewings were flying great this afternoon.  Normally, I would be spending the early dove season in the Rio Grande Valley, but had to sacrifice this years pilgramage to Harligen so I could stay close to home for my son's baseball ...

What Labor Day Means to me What Labor Day Means to me

A tribute to Texas Sporting Art A tribute to Texas Sporting Art

    I wanted to take the time to share my thoughts and feelings on how sporting artist such as John P. Cowan and John Dearman have inspired me to follow my outdoor passions.  I still remeber the first time I saw a Cowan painting at a Doctor's office and I was blown away by the detail that made the ...

My First Buck My First Buck

      The old saying goes "some people have it good" and then there are the lucky few that, "have it great!"  I like to believe that the small ranch I hunt in Mathis, Texas is incredible because of the fact that 13 bucks have been harvested in the past two hunting seasons since the property was pur...

God Bless Texas God Bless Texas

    There is something in the air here in Texas that let's you know something big is about to happen and I can't wait for the big day.  The day when people put their worries aside about high gas prices, the economy and health care.  This day my friend is the start of hunting season in Texas and wha...
