Whitetail Deer In Hog Trap
I was out running my hog traps on my lunch break yesterday and accidentally trapped this buck. It was a rodeo to get him out but I was able to do so without serious injury to him or me. He looked to be a 3yr old 8pt. The approximate location was Wise County, Texas.

Predator Season Starts Today
Today marks the opening day of Predator Season, only because all other seasons are out. I know you can hunt them all year long, but today is the day I like to recognize it, so I have compiled some videos of some predator hunts that I find fascinating.
- Close up coyote attack (But he was provoking it)!
- Jeff Thomason (Predator Pursuit) posted this yesterday on his Facebook page. Deer vs. Coyotes
- Snowbike vs. Coyote (awesome at the 2:55 mark)
- With Spring Turkey Season around the corner, there may be other opportunities.
- 5 Coyotes , 1 Set Up!
- Air Skinning a Coyote! I have to try this!
UPCOMING PREDATOR CONTESTS
- West Texas Big Bobcat Contest is coming up pretty soon, too. I hear this contest has really taken off and done quite well!
- Carlton Kendrick Memorial Graham Varmint Hunt 2013. Here is another one taking place in Graham. One in February and March.
- I would hold out and enter Predator Palooza though, and may try the Graham Varmint Hunt in March!
- Henrietta Varmint Hunt on February 16.
- There are more contests in Texas, just a little farther South than I would expect many to go.

Things On My Mind!
- That golf course goose hunt was something else.
- I can't believe we had 81 entries for the hog contest this year. That is one heck of a payout, even for 2nd and 3rd places.
- I've changed up a couple of things on the site in case you haven't noticed. I added some tabs right below my banner to make it easy to contact me as well as an About tab. I felt like a 4th grader writing an essay about myself.
- One tab is for the Hog Contest... Next year people can sign up online and pay through PayPal with a credit card or bank account to make it a little easier. There will definitly be some awesome changes for 2014, maybe even t-shirts, I don't know! Let's just stay focused on 2013 for now...
- 298 days till duck season!
- Looks like this website will be hosting a Wise County Predator Calling Contest next year (24 hr.). I've got 2 friends helping me put it together and I think it will be a hit! More details to come...
- I heard rumor that during the Bridgeport vs. Decatur Basketball games, which were played here in Decatur on Tuesday, someone put ducks in the Bridgeport Basketball Bus, which happened to be the varsity girls. Nothing wrong with a little prank, but when it involves a duck, it can get pretty serious.
- There is even thought of us hosting a big buck competition next year, we just have to get all of our ducks in a row!
- Close call on a pig hunt!

Golf Course Goose Hunt
We were invited to kill the geese off a golf course in Weatherford since they were tearing up their greens. It was a fun, but different kind of hunt. We managed 15 between 6 of us... Not one survivor!
EDIT: As I was leaving 2 more came in and were killed by the guys still there... 17 Total!

Hog Contest Started Right
Didn't take the 2011 Winners, Andrew Gage and Cason Caraway to knock out 3 hogs opening day of the contest.
And don't be scared... These were all only 80 pounders and not worth being weighed!

Wise County Goose Hunt
From an E-Mail:
"Goose hunt Sat morning killed 15 greater Canada’s in 20 min. Me, Amber, Jared and Jeremy hunted. Was a good hunt for wise county."
"Goose hunt Sat morning killed 15 greater Canada’s in 20 min. Me, Amber, Jared and Jeremy hunted. Was a good hunt for wise county."
That is one awesome hunt for geese in Wise County!
Weekend Hunts
Another Successful goose hunt by DTK with a Decatur crew.
They even managed to get a couple specks...I want one!
I guided this group through the last day of duck season. One heck of a final hunt for the year. Hurts me to know duck season is over!

Last Day To Sign Up
Sunday is the last day to sign up for the hog contest! Here's a pic of a huge one Johnny Lanier of Decatur got not long ago that I'm sure he wishes he shot during the contest... He's just warming up!
I will say that the turnout this year is unbelievable so far! Next year there might have to be some changes to make way for more people.

Scooter Scooter Scooter
I've got a buddy that is an avid hunter and fisherman... He does it all folks! I gotta have one of those hats! He has one of the best feeder pens I've ever seen...
Goose Bling
These Decatur guys have been on a little vacation in Lubbock goose hunting for the past couple of days. They have had awesome luck and managed to get their limit in geese and One of them managed to shoot a banded goose!
