My brother-in-law retired last August after serving for 34 years as a Texas Game Warden. As a warden he was never able to hunt opening weekend of deer season. I invited him to hunt on our family ranch this year and he took this free range buck of a lifetime on opening weekend. The missing hair patch is from him fighting with another buck. Now if I can find the one that thought he was big enough to tangle with this brute. Well done brother!
No high fences. We don't hunt zoos. Hunting free range, fair chase game for over 50 Years.

I believe in science and I’m an insufferable [censored] Actually, BBC is pretty damn good "You Cannot Simultaneously Be Politically Correct And Intellectually Honest!"

I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Very cool! That’s what steered me away from being a GW. I’d rather hunt
