Hi folks! Glad to have been directed to this site from a friend. I’m about as new as it gets. I haven’t even been able to figure out how to update my profile information so bare with me until I’ve had a chance to do so. I’m 33 and from East Texas. When folks from out of state hear Texas they often vision flat short brush country filled with mesquite, cactus, giant deer, and cows... That’s not where I’m from. It’s huge tall pine trees, various oaks, creek bottoms, pine ridges, and briar thickets where a red bird can live his entire life cycle without ever having to learn to fly. The deer hunting in my area of the state is EXTREMELY high pressured with bucks older than 3 years old being as much of a myth as they are fact. It’s very challenging hunting but an incredible award when you close the book on one.
I’ve worked all over the US and other parts of the world but always return home. I love deer hunting with a bow/ rifle/ muzzleloader/ ninjy stars/ machete.... whatever is in season and legal, but if I had to pick one it would be my Hoyt. When it isn’t deer season you’ll likely be able to find me on Sam Rayburn or Toledo Bend trying to figure out how to catch 5 bass big enough to cash a check on Saturday. I fish several of the local tournament trails and some of the FLW events when they collide with my days off.
In my professional life I’m a Directional Driller for Phoenix Technology Services drilling horizontal oil wells currently in West Texas near the New Mexico boarder.
I have a beautiful wife Stephanie that somehow puts up with me working a 28/14 schedule and spending my 14 days off in pursuit of a deer or a green fish somewhere. I have a 3.5 year old daughter Adalee and a son Raylen that will be 2 in a couple of weeks. Adalee made me promise her when I left to come back to work that I would “buy me a little bow so I can catch a little deer with daddy.” Raylen just wants to “drive Daddy’s big white truck with black wheels.” As much as I love the outdoors, I’d give it all away for 1 extra day with my family. God has certainly blessed me with them.
I look forward to sharing information with y’all and talking critters.
