The Complexity of it All ...

If you're like me, hunting is a large part of your life. Though you may be doing any number of things at a given moment, somewhere in the back of your mind there's a constant desire to be in the field. You long to be in a stand, or scouting a trail. You find yourself reading articles in magazines or scouring the Internet, looking for a tip or strategy that will make you a better hunter. Whether you're at work, home, or driving down the road, your thoughts always drift back to that big brute you caught on the game camera, or a recently discovered doe bedding area. In short ... Hunting consumes you.

And, if that is the case, you're also like me in the fact that you've come to realize that not all hunting strategies relate to you, or your hunting landscape.

That's why I'm starting this blog. My hope is that, by sharing my thoughts and experiences regarding hunting in Texas -- and specifically northeast Texas -- I can establish a resource that gives better understanding, and a more personal perspective to hunting in Texas.

I am not a so-called "hunting expert." I don't hunt for a living (although I sure wish I could!), and I don't pay thousands of dollars to gain access to wildlife management properties who grow massive animals for profit. What I am, is an everyday guy who loves to be in the woods, searching for signs that will lead me in the direction of experiencing the thrill of the hunt. I eat what I shoot, and honor nature's gifts for their beauty.

I have been contemplating this writing project for quite some time. I look forward to sharing my stories of success, adventure and tribulation with you personally, and the hunting community as a whole. I guarantee that not all of these experiences will be success stories, but then again ... just having these experiences, and the opportunity to share them, is a success in itself.
