Puppy Days
Summary:
Your dog would die for you. You would not do the same for him -Quote
from my good friend CB I swore I’d never have another dog. Forget the
bird dog, German Shorthaired Pointer thing. Just no dog. Not after
Nikko. And that was almost twenty years ago. Even though every year the
girls alwa...
Outdoors in the Great State of Texas
Summary:
The air was very crisp and sharp as I silently dismounted the four
wheeler. I pushed 3 shells into my 7 mag and clicked on the safety. I
eased on the backpack, clicked on the small flashlight and headed out.
As I trekked down the narrow path that softly winded through a
thick patch of o...
The American Range
Summary:
The other day we took our friend Nais (pronounced “Nye-eese) to the
pistol range. Nais is a young schoolteacher friend of ours from
Taekwondo. Formerly dating a Border Patrol Agent (also a friend of
ours), she has developed a desire to shoot guns. Heck, I don’t see how
anybody wouldn’t want to s...
Empty Freezer
Summary:
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...

The De-evolution of a Hunter
Summary:
As a kid there were two skills I mainly learned from my father, how
to work and how to hunt. My father was in the army, I remember him
talking once about the $800 he got a month and where it was to be used.
Needless to say we didn't have a lot but by hunting and raising a
garden we ate pretty goo...
Hunting as an Employee Benefit
Summary:
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...
My First Buck
Summary:
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...
Crossbows on the bowseason eve
Summary:
I learned to bowhunt two seasons ago, with help from the great folks
here at texashuntfish.com. I live and hunt in counties which have
antler restrictions (a great thing in my opinion, but that's another
story). I enjoy bowhunting because of the opportunity to harvest does,
and because of the c...
Who's coming to the deer camp?
Summary:
I've noticed that many of my hunting buddies "deer camp" all seem to
look the same. Either it's a small shed cozy enough for getting out
of the weather or it's a series of "past their normal lifespan" travel
trailers circled around the great meeting assembly (fire pit).
Either way, these “...
Fall is in the Air
Summary:
As they say, "fall is in the air." Two days ago, it was in the 90's
here in San Angelo, and yesterday the high was 67 degrees, marking our
first official major cool front.
This is a
special time of the year, and a period that tugs at our prima...
A tribute to Texas Sporting Art
Summary:
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 ...
September in San Antonio
Summary:
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 ...

On the verge of July 4th and the premier of Hunts For Heroes’ Veteran
Outdoors a few thoughts have been running through my mind…before my
first hunting trip alongside several wounded veterans I "thought" I was
patriotic and I "thought" I appreciated what our military has done for

his country's Navy possible, Philips threw himself off of his lifeboat

Gardening Teaches Life Lessons
Summary:
My "take away" from this little reminder of natures capricious antics is that gardening - like the stock market - like humanity at large - is a complex balance of hard work, luck, and timing. Often we confuse luck and timing as the same thing - but they are very different. Winning the lottery is luck. Winning the lottery on the $1M night versus the $100M night is timing.

Why Wait for Dove Season?
Summary:
Why Wait for Dove Season? By: Joe Schram I know many of us can’t wait
to get out there on opening day with a case of new shotgun shells and
blast away. That’s right, I said a case! I have been dove hunting many
times where I watch hunters go out and shoot a case a day to get a
limi...
Why Re-load Shotgun Shells?
Summary:
Why Re-load Shotgun Shells? Is it really worth it? By: Joe Schram In
short, the answer is yes, it is worth it. And, I can load a better
shell than the factories make. Shot shell reloading is a subject that I
have spent many years debating with fellow shooters and factory reps.
While I ha...
