Deer Hunting and Weather Every time we step off the asphalt into the country's wilderness, we carry with us a considerable store of outdoor lore, some of it based on personal hunting experience, some on information gleaned from our peers and our mentors and some on what we have read and heard in magazines and on programs. Our moment-to-moment decisions, regardless of how big or small, are based on this accumulated storehouse of both conscious and subconscious knowledge.

Julie and Tom's Texas Pig Hunt When Julie, my wife, over heard me talking with a hunting buddy about
going hog hunting in Texas she expressed an interest in going also.
Julie bird hunts with me all the time but never expressed an interest in
bigger game. I jumped at the chance to get her ready for our Texas hog
hunt. Since most of my rifles carry a pretty stout kick I decided to do
some research and come up with a new 'outfit' for Julie's first hog hunt.
