With a nice buck he killed with traditional archery gear. Dudley has done a lot of canoeing and a whole lot of deer hunting but never got to combine the two. Looks like a rewarding experience!

1949 Texas Game,Fish, Oyster Commission Article On Whitetail Deer ...


Dudley would have to disagree with the writers statement concerning WT Deer in East TX. Dudleys late father in law said from his earliest memory in the early 1930's until well into the 1970's he never saw a deer in his part of East TX. He saw his first deer in 1977 near the family farm one November morning when a big buck ran across the road chasing a doe. His father died in the summer of 1978. His Mom sold all the cows and in November of 1978 on opening day of rifle season, Sparky killed his first buck!

Dudley Is Going To Get His Concrete Block Fence Repaired ...



The fence was built in 1958 and through the decades, the mortor joints have weakened from water penetration and the blocks have been damaged from trees falling on the top of the fence. A Stone Mason came out and wrote a three part estimate. The guy that came out knows what he is doing having done brick work himself for many years. He is a neighbor and lives on the next street over from the Dudley Domicile. They are going to do 2/3 of the work as soon as they can get it scheduled. Dudley is going to have the rest of the work done this Summer. Will be nice to get the fence back in shape with all the missing and cracked blocks repaired or replaced.

Frank's Group At Muddy Waters Outfitters Duck Hunting Lodge On The Red River ...


Looks like they whacked em and stacked em this morning!


All of the hunters and two of the guides from this mornings hunt. The Outfitter said they set a new record for the total number of ducks taken by one group of hunters at one time in one location. Every man got his limit!



 

Heard From Frank This Afternoon ...




He said they had a great hunt this morning up on a private lake near Burkburnett, TX just south of the Red River. Frank and Jeff and four of their buddies that live in Houston were in one group that hunted with another group of four hunters and two guides. Frank said they all got a limit of ducks. Sounds like a great hunt. Waiting on a trophy pic of Frank and all of the ducks and hunters from the lodge.
