Carp? That's the question I get asked most anytime someone ask me, you catching anything? Yes carp, on purpose. When I was a kid I spent most daylight hours on, in, or near some water and as a kid it wasn't about anything but fun. I've had more fun catching carp than most any other fish I've ever caught. Eventhough here in the US it is not considered a game fish and actually most often referred to as a "trash" fish you can't deny the fight that carp put up. In most of Europe these fish are …

It’s better than work
I waited all winter for it to get cold so we could go catch the blue cat at Lake Tawakoni. Being cold is not a requirement for the blue cat as much as it is for me, I just want it to be cold when I catch them, it seems funner to me when I may get some frost bite.

Last Run to Mertzon
My phone starts ringing. Who calls anymore? I thought everyone just texted unless it was real important. I see it says, Brown. This is gonna be good, he must've killed a big deer. I answer, "what's up Brown". He says "Coondog I killed a doe" I say "ok?" He says "the bad news is I need 72 more killed in the next month" and that is how this trip got started. I knew we needed to kill a ton of deer so I called in some more help, my brother Nate would come with me and Alex, and Brown was calling …
Culling Texas Whitetail
After several rain delays we were finally headed down to Irion county to take some whitetail does and it couldn't come soon enough. I have had the worst bow season that I think I ever had. It started with flooding before season started and I had to clean up camp and find all my belongings, this happens, we needed the rain so no big deal. Then season started and I found every way in the world to mess up a hunt, shifting winds, wrong stands, misses, the list continues but I kept at it. Three …
2015 New Mexico Antelope
It's finally time again to chase speed goats in New Mexico and as is the custom it seems, there was a mix of family and close friends but this trip featured a special guest. My seven year old nephew Cason would be along on his first big hunting trip. I couldn't wait, finally somebody with my mentality that I could act like a fool with. Armed with a slingshot I made him from a deer antler he had high aspirations of killing any and all game that came his way. The only real thing in any …
