Turkey hunting doesn’t get any better than what we have in Texas. Here in the Pineywoods, the restocking of eastern wild turkeys is still struggling in many counties but going strong in others. It’s the Rio Grande turkey that makes spring hunts so popular among thousands of hunters. They are numerous and can be found just about anywhere you hunt from Central to South and West Texas.
Early spring cold fronts continue to move through Southeast Texas, and that has made the business of catching big trout on Sabine Lake more than a little tough. But there is good news in that a few big trout are being fooled by lures. The best I’ve seen within the past couple of days came from the north shoreline of East Galveston Bay. She weighed an impressive 9 pounds.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us “that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas,” we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We’re of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.
