Deer Hunting in Texas

Kent and I lived in Texas for a year and a half and met some of the most interesting people in the world! It seemed everyone owned at least one gun, hunted for sport and took great pride in their Lone Star State.

Hunting was a very popular subject and we still guffaw at a story of a man and his 14 year old son sitting in their blind, awaiting the deer, supposedly ‘hunting’. Sure enough at 6:55 am, a big buck wanders into the clearing, looking up at the Deer Feeder and appears to be waiting. At 7 am on the dot, the deer hears a click, he turns his head to the side and closes the eye nearest the feeder. The feeder shoots out dried corn kernels, hitting him in the head and neck. As it shuts off, the deer begins eating his daily breakfast. The 14 year old bagged his first deer.

We still tell that story whenever the subject of hunting comes up, as that’s not the way we hunt in Canada. We climb mountains, trek through forests, ford streams, get lost, cold, wet and exhausted. The deer rarely come to us - we actually go looking for them!
