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. Here is the Harold Special, enchiladas, beans, rice and grilled sirloin with onions. As the sun comes up Saturday morning me and Alex are settled in and waiting, he was about a quarter mile south of …
Adventures
Better than Christmas
Its opening weekend of the Texas archery season and we are on the road I hope that warning in the mirror about the objects being closer than they appear is wrong cause I want those buildings as far away as possible.

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 …
Sharks and reds on the gulf
We made the short drive from Houston where the baseball tournament was to Galveston where the fish are. When I say experienced salt water guide what image pops your mind?
