I
thank God everyday for being born in this great country of ours. I love Texas.
But no matter where I go, the outdoors means the same. This site helps me share
my love of the outdoors. I hope it is enjoyed by those who come across
it.
Ok, ok, it's been a while since I
updated. My deer season is over now with limited success. But only limited in
filling my freezer. I managed to put one doe in there but that's ok. I came
away from the season with many more memories. I hunted a few times with my
youngest daughter and she schooled me so to speak. She passed on the doe I
ended up shooting for reasons I won't go into. Then a legal buck (we have
antler restrictions in the county we hunt) came out one afternoon and she
passed on it. Simply put, she has heard me talking about deer management and
she asked if the 8 pointer would get bigger. Noting it was about 2 1/2 years
old, I told het most likely it would. She sat her gun down and watched it until
it left. Yep, it was a good season. Treestand
Safety
Well, I finally got around to making at least a summary
page on treestand safety. Perhaps after hunting season I can make specific
stand pages but hopefully this page will help someone out there put safety
first. Teaching hunter education for Texas Parks and Wildlife allows me the
oppurtunity to talk to many people. Sadly, I always come across someone who
knows someone who has fallen from a treestand. Check out my link for some
thoughts on putting safety first.

Chicken Fingers
This story is about the very first animal I took with my
bow and the day it happened. The day was meant to happen the way it did and it
will never be duplicated again. A unique turn of events produced great memories
for myself and my two youngest children.

DIY Box Blind
Having never built a
blind before and finding little help on the internet, I wasn't sure how it
would turn out. If it went well, I would have something my kids and I could
hunt from. If not, I would have a new outhouse to live in after my wife found
out I wasted the money. Check out the steps I took to
build a box blind and see if
you too can build one. And I won't charge you. By the way, my youngest daughter
killed her first deer from this blind in the 2009-10 season.

My
Cancer
For most of the past 30 years I
have been loyal to a certain brand of smokeless tobacco. When I started in the
ninth grade, there were no rules on ages for buying it. I even won a trip to
the Daytona 500 from the parent company in 1989. In September of 2005 I was
diagnosed with cancer. Squamous Cell Carcinoma. It resided on the inside of my
right cheek. In hopes of reaching out to those who dip, I like to share my
story with all who will listen.

streams of water, so my soul pants for you O God."Psalm 42:1
