Beneath these Western Skies . . .
The King of Country, George Strait, has a few different songs about Texas, but my favorite is If It Wasn’t for Texas. Early on in my professional career, my family and I moved from the west to Dallas, TX. Little could I imagine at the time, the doors that would open and the opportunities that would present themselves because of our time in Texas. So, although Texas and Texans get a fair share of ridicule, Texas holds a special place in my heart.

My nine year old son and I just returned from his first deer hunt and it was a wonderful experience!

Day 1 we drove from Northeastern Utah to Lubbock, TX. I’m sure the rainstorms we encountered in New Mexico were a welcomed relief from the heat and drought.

Day 2 started with some breakfast at Rosa’s:

Evening of Day 2, my son was able to kill his first buck - proud Dad moment!!

We started Day 3 chasing pigs and he was unable to connect, but his shooting improved and finished out the day with a pretty good haul.

With one more tag to fill, we again focused on deer for the final morning. The morning hunt didn’t disappoint -

So happy that I’ve been blessed with such a wonderful hunting partner!!
 
Congratulations! Looks like he had a blast and I’m sure that will be a trip he will always remember
 
What an awesome trip! I’m sure your son will remember it forever. Congrats on the success.
What bullet are you using in the 243?
 
Way to stack them up. Great hunting for your boy. Congrats.
I sure wouldn't mind 4 porkers in the freezer.
