Since I'll be gone most of the month hunting I tried my best to not go hunting this weekend but man when its 55 degrees with a cool north wind and I got the yard chores done I can't help it. I told Mary I'd buy her some lunch before I left so we went up the road to a little Mexican restaurant called Cha Chas, now before I say this is my favorite place just know that every cafe I'm at is my favorite place at the time. I'm hungry and they feed me how could I not make them my favorite, that being …
Adventures
Opening Archery Seaon
We started the weekend in Springtown watching Graham roll over yet another team. First food stop was one of my favorites, Dairy Land in Jacksboro where I am a regular. Jacksboro is the closest town to the land we hunt and for a town of 3,000 it has a surprisingly good amount of eateries.

Now on to Jack county for some good food and a high school football game. How can it …
Galveston Eats

Love seeing local guides and fisherman come in smelling like salt water and looking like the ocean and wind worked em over pretty good that day. Over all good …
At the dock
Everybody got in the action. After several sharks boated, a couple which we couldn't keep, we moved and got on some big red fish. All over 38" and one near 44". Alex and Mary struggled with theirs at times but both landed nice fish. The combination of heat, big waves and the fight of the fish put Mary Ann in her seat for awhile, but we all caught plenty fish. After six hours I was beat and the dock was a welcome sight especially knowing that a man was waiting there with knife in hand to do the …
