Frank's outdoors...

Went on a deer hunt on my buddy Rich Corl's property in Northeast Texas. Took my little brother Mike with us, and he shot his first deer, a nice big doe. I shot the spike in the picture below, and I always take a photo of myself... no idea why :)

This years goose hunt was a banner one... we had 12 hunters go into the field! That's a lot of people! 3 Flannerys, 3 Fulliloves, 1 Morgan, 1 Kopecky, 1 Kuebler, 1 Broadhurst, 1 Ballantine, and 1 Dufreche! The forecast was dismal according to Butch Waggoner (our host and his son Ryan), but we managed to get all of our limits on speckle bellies (24 total), and pulled a lesser canadien and a ross goose, to bring our final total to 26 birds! A great hunt in all! Looking forward to next year!

Long time since I have posted, and I intend to post after every hunt in the future. So far, I have been out 2 times this season. Teal hunting on the Katy Prairie Conservancy thanks to the North Houston chapter of Ducks Unlimited banquet in July. Pictures below... there were 4 hunters and we pulled 14 teal! It was an awesome hunt! That place has produced ducks everytime I have been out. Thanks to Gordon Johnston for donating the hunt to DU and Wes Newman for guiding us (that's Wes with his dog next to me and PawPaw)!
