Synopsis of Episode 53:
This week’s show has it all! We kick things off with 21 year old Salado, Texas native Sam Vanhoozer. This past December, Sam and his father were hunting mulies between Sheffield and Iraan, Texas when a 100 lb cat crept into the sendero with plans of pouncing on an unsuspecting fawn. That all changed with one crack of Sam’s rifle. A real Texas mountain lion! I have to admit I am jealous of Sam’s once in a lifetime opportunity.
Then when check in with Texas Parks and Wildlife Big Game Program Leader Mitch Lockwood. TPWD recently came under fire after exterminating 71 whitetailed deer at the Anderton Ranch in Hunt County. The breeder deer were euthanized due to the ranch’s failure to comply with state regulations and Lacey Act violations. The origin of the deer were not documented and therefore TPWD had no choice but to protect one of our state’s finest resources: our deer herd.
We round out the broadcast by checking in with Falcon Lake fishing guide Tommy Law. On January 7th, Tommy hauled in a 15.63 lb largemouth bass which shatterd the 20 year old Falcon Lake record of 15.12 lbs. Tommy has been fishing Falcon for 40 years and guiding for the past 3. Glad to see his hard work finally payed off with the fish of a lifetime, what a beauty!
