After Dark on the Lease: Lights, Glass and the Night Shift Nobody Plans For

Night on the lease

ASK A TEXAS HUNTER how much of the season they spend in the dark and most will guess wrong. Count it honestly. The walk to the stand before shooting light. The last half hour in the blind after the light goes flat. The drag, the gutting, the drive to the cooler. The trip back to the feeder at ten at night because something set off the camera. The hog problem, which does not keep business hours at all. If you fish too, add the boat ramp before sunrise, which is where guides like Luck O’ The Irish start most of their striper and catfish trips on Lake Lewisville and Lake Tawakoni.

Why Field Positions Beat the Bench for Preseason Practice

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED why your rifle that groups small as can be at the range, groups large as can be in the field?

It’s the same story every season. Hunter sweats bullets at the shooting bench all summer long. Punches one dirty hole at 100 yards, and heads home feeling like the hard part is over. Then comes opening morning… and now that shot must be made kneeling down a steep hillside with a heart that won’t calm down
