RE: Texas boys and gals, where you at?
Hi there. I'm 37 yoa. married for 7.5 yrs. and have a 5 year old girl that is the pride of daddies world. I live in Pasadena, Tx. and work in Houston as a Police Officer. Been with HPD for 7.5 yrs. now. I like to hunt and saltwater fish and enjoy anything outdoors. I deer hunt and hog hunt on property that belongs to one of my brother in laws in Lavaca County along the Navidad River so it costs me nothing in lease fees, Yes I know I'm very lucky. I like to bowhunt though haven't been in years, just don't seem to have enough money or time for it and love to hunt with a rifle as well. I shoot a SAKO Hunter in 7mm-08 that works great on hogs and deer. Unfortunately the property has cattle on it so we can't grow anything for supplemental feeding. The property is covered in deer but mostly does and young bucks. This will be the 4th year of a management co-op with local landowners run through TPWD and we are starting to notice results. We need to take alot more does, coyotes, and hogs and I think this area could produce some really monster bucks in a few years. I also like to fish saltwater for trout, reds, and flounder. In my opinion hunting in Texas has gotten out of control and cost way to much and unfortunately most landowners don't care about wildlife, they seem to care only about bringing in as much money with as many hunters as possible. Always feel better after venting like that. Hope everyone has a safe and prductive hunting season this year.
