Mossy Oak/ Second Season Hunt
After what was a very challenging weather year in North Texas, (very windy and dry, highs pushing 90), we were fortunate to have some frosty weather come in just in time for a very good hunt.
Our Good friends Steve Jones ( 1996 US Open Golf Champion) and Mike Moore ( all star pitcher for the Oakland A's) came down to meet with Mossy Oak's Tack Robinson for a whitetail hunt for Tack's production " Second Season" which airs on the Golf Channel.
We only had the opportunity to film 3 hunts, and fortunately Steve was able to get a nice buck on the first morning. It was 14 degrees, with a brisk breeze coming right in the windows of the blind, but Steve was able to stop shivering just long enough to make a great shot!
We then relocated to another area of the ranch and hunted a 10 point with some drop tines that we had been seeing. He was sighted a couple of times by both Steve and Mike, who was hunting another blind, but never long enough for a clean shot.
Tack had to return to Mississippi and Mike back to Oklahoma, so I took Steve back to the field that he had hunted that morning at about 2:00. He got antsy in the blind, and decided to stalk along a treeline to get closed to some activity behind some round bales at the end of the field. Thanks to the excellent Camouflage provided to us by MOSSY OAK, Steve was able to stay undetected as a spike buck came out of the trees not 15 feet in front of him!
He was followed by a very nice 10 point, tall and palmated, and Steve was able to keep calm long enough to bring him down. He should score BIG!
Our other hunters were all able to see a lot of deer in spite of the weather. Mike Grant was able to take this deer on December 8, which scored 132.
