There is no quiet season. May be a month or so from end of hunting season and it is still too cold to fish. But you can chase hogs squirrels rabbits. Then after a short break the fish bite that should keep you busy till dove season.

Between mid March and early September- Top of my list: Figuring out how to NOT get on my wife’s bad side (so I can do other things). In other times- going to the range to shoot rifles / pistols; practice with my crossbow; discard / replace / repair hunting items; figure out how I can redo / request my work schedule so I can put holes in Texas hogs (or ANYTHING) until deer season reopens here. Then: REPEAT!!!!!
CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE FOR TOMORROW. INVEST IN TOMORROW BY TAKING A CHILD HUNTING OR FISHING TODAY.
If I am being real honest, hunting season is more of the quiet season to me than the springtime when the fish are biting good. Seems like every day after work I have been blessed with a couple of slabs or some nice sandbass. I can't just run down the street and do some hunting after work. But I sure can run downthe streer to the creek and catch some fish.
Here are some pictures of what the Lord has blessed me with this past tues, weds, and thurs after work. I can't go home and see my family every day but I can make the best of it and I do!

Hogs at home. Headed to the lease tomorrow with a couple of friends. We will clean up camp and see how much pistol shooting we can do. I’m going to figure out exactly how much time the Dutch oven needs to properly cook potatoes and onions over the fire. Rib-Eye over pecan fire. Asparagus and mushrooms on the cast iron griddle.
Or drink too much and have Dinty Moore beef stew in the microwave. Whatever.
There’s always pigs to kill. Pigs in the back yard, pigs at the lease.
We make a lot more noise in the off season than hunting season. Mainly try to get as much blind, feeder, road, foodplot, camp maintenance done as we can. Also like to wet a line, loaded up a few blues.

That's what I'm talking about
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.
Now that I have a monday through friday job, since harvey, I guess I fish every weekend. However I really dont fish much because I am a fishing guide and I take other people fishing so it is really work. So I am not fun fishing. After 10 years of full time guiding fun fishing isn't for me anymore. I am fished out. My handicap is about a 6 so I do hit that little ball in to the hole quite often and go to the course on every chance I get. I do try to go to the gun range at least once a month if I can.
I sure do hate Houston from May till September!!!! Come on October. The countdown begins soon!
We have hay meadows to irrigate, antlers to find and trout to catch. We're always ready for a wolf encounter as well, predator zone here. We have a 1 acre lot in the forest we're clearing some trees on and getting set up for a perhaps a small cabin.
As much as I like catching them, this is the best part
Been blessed this last couple weeks, to limit on possesion for crappies. I have never been good at catching crappie, never would imagine I would limit on them in 2-3 days just fishing from the bank after work. II was actuallt trying to get some sandbass. But I'd rather have the crappies to be honest!
I got a few sandies too, in the tributaries, but all males around 12 inches max. Looks like the sandbass run is a little behind schedule, but these post spawn crappies are still in the creeks and they are hungry. A 1/4 (not a typo) oz beetle spin, catching a crappie every 3rd cast or so from the bank in 2-3 feet of water. Almost get a daily bag in ine spot in the creek, in 3-4 feet of water, on a creek no more than maybe 10 meters across the widest part. I have never seen anything like it in my life. So it's a blessing for sure!
Anyway back to that best part I was talking about. Here are some crappies and french fries. This plate probably cost me about $2 including the lure I caught these on so less than that. And you can't eat better for 10 times the price!
