He was shot at Big Lake, Tx.  Ya we shot enough long nose I thought it would be perfect to write something out. We have another picture with us mooning, the camera. But, everytime I put it up, it gets flagged. 
We run exotic hunts year round, common exotics, Pere David, Oryx, Nilgai, Dybowski Sika. Email me if interested in pricing. Britton.iranch@yahoo.com or check us out on facebook, The Inheritance Ranch.

I've never tried bowfishing, but want to. I've never really looked into it, I do bow hunt, can I use the same bow and change to the right accessories, or do I need a bow specific to bowfishing? I use an old compound bow with an AMS bottle reel. Nothing fancy but it works really good!

Wow!  Great fish! Work brought me to the red river a few times. If I wasn't working at the time, I would have been pegging all the gar I saw and slaughtering hogs up there. Quite the infestation up there. Sure is! If your up here round mid. March PM me and we'll head out looking for the BIG ones.  Most definitely!

Maxed Out, I couldn't help but get on the water with the perfect weather this past weekend. Headed to Possoum Kingdom for the first time. I didn't see much basking though. this freezing weather is going to put a hold on sticking fish for a bit......
duck season is over, so i'm ready and waiting for the warm weather!

I have a lake house a Possum Kingdom, and haven't had the time to be there much, but it's a great place for gar and grass carp.
I always keep a few carp to fillet to use for bait on jug lines.
