TEXAS RIFLE SEASON OPENER – BWB 20.11
The air was thick with excitement as the Backwoods Life crew geared up for the Texas rifle season opener. Nestled in North Texas, they were ready to embark on a hunting adventure with Texas Brand Outfitters, a trip that promised to be a highlight of their fall hunting season. “The fun thing about Texas is you can buy a hunting license at the grocery store,” Kevin joked, loading up essential hunting gear and preparing for a day filled with camaraderie and the thrill of the hunt.
With the sun rising and the promise of a great day ahead, the crew set out to put out corn for the deer, a common practice in this part of the country. “We’re going to shoot some guns and get everything ready,” Kevin said, his enthusiasm contagious. As they prepared, laughter filled the air, with playful banter about hunting licenses and the various animals they could pursue. “I can shoot one, two, three, four turkeys and five whitetail,” Kevin quipped, showcasing his excitement for the diverse hunting opportunities Texas had to offer. This trip was a perfect example of fall hunting at its finest.

As they set up their shooting range, Kevin took a moment to adjust his rifle. Proper rifle maintenance and sighting are crucial for a successful hunt. “My first couple of shots were shooting a little low,” he noted, focusing on getting his aim just right. The winds were unpredictable, but he felt confident that he’d be ready for whatever came his way. “I believe I’d be a dead deer at 200 yards,” he added, eyeing the vast Texas landscape that stretched out before them.

“It’s super foggy out here,” Kevin said as he peered through the mist. Visibility was limited, but he remained hopeful. “We’ve seen deer; we just can’t tell what they are.” The fog added an element of mystery to the hunt, but as it began to lift, the excitement grew. “Next few minutes should give us better visibility,” he said, adjusting his gear and preparing for action.

As they waited in their blinds, the atmosphere was filled with camaraderie and shared stories. “Our buddy Earl’s hunting just across the way,” Kevin said with a chuckle. “He’s already texted me that he’s starving.” While Earl was busy hunting, Kevin had brought along breakfast to enjoy during their wait. “Sorry Earl, but it’s a little too far to walk,” he teased, savoring his meal while keeping an eye out for deer.

The morning progressed slowly, with fog giving way to clearer skies but also bringing an unexpected visitor—cows! “We now have about 40 head of cows rubbing against our blinds,” Kevin reported with a laugh. The whole blind shook as the cows wandered by, adding an unexpected twist to their opening day adventure.
Despite the challenges of fog and curious cattle, the crew remained optimistic. “The good news is that we’re out here enjoying nature,” Kevin said, reflecting on the experience. “Even if we don’t see any deer today, it’s still a great time.” The thrill of being in the great outdoors with friends made every moment worthwhile.
As they continued their hunt, Kevin couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to experience Texas hunting with good friends and plenty of laughter. “Fingers crossed for a successful day ahead,” he said, looking forward to what the rest of the season would bring.
