Learned to hunt at an older age and passing along the love of it to my kids and other youth.

See Ya In The Woods Podcast is Live!
After a lot of planning and a lot of help from his uncle who actually knows how to do the production stuff up in Indiana, Aidan finally broke into the podcast arena. Lots to learn about how to speak and hold a relaxed conversation… but I'm super proud of him being able to do something like this at 10yrs old!
Aidan also threw ... Read more#seeyainthewoods #teachyourkidstohunt #sci #brag #bragginwall
What a weekend!
This is the last weekend before youth rifle season starts here in our part of Texas… and even though Aidan The Hunter couldn't bow hunt (he is still working on his strength) he wanted to come with me and sit in the popup blind for my hunt.
I sure am glad he did! I was able to take a beautiful 11 point buck as my first ever bow harvest. However,... Read more#brag #bragginwall #huntingtrophy
AidanTheHunter turning in his 4-H project for Waller County Fair this year! This was taken by him on my iPhone on a cold morning on the Brazos River out on our first duck hunt. The hint wasn't successful but he loves the River and wanted to turn his photo in.
If he places in his category, the photo will go to auction. If it doesn't go to auction at the fair, we may ... Read more#brag #bragginwall
My son (AidanTheHunter) attended his first sleep-away camp for 4-H this year while doing the shooting sports discipline.
If y'all aren't involved in youth shooting sports, please consider it. The future of the things we love and society as a whole in my opinion rests with this next generation not being afraid of firearms and understanding hunting, fishing and basic ...

Amen! Marksmanship is such a rewarding pursuit since it allows personal growth for youth to develop discipline, focus and confidence. I think we should emphasize the mathematic benefits for long range shooting for older kids in estimating ballistic drops and wind calls/effects. Also I believe that firearm safety should be a mandatory subject for elementary school as well.
Per your post I am looki... Read more
*Thanks Ben! As much as I agree with you on firearm safety being in schools… at this point, I doubt that will happen. That is why we are pushing the 4-H Shooting Sports and we are holding events for all youth to come and learn firearm safety along with their parents… to try to show that they aren't to be feared but rather respected as a tool like any other.
One of the best ways to support is the ... Read more
Day 6 part 2: AidanTheHunter vs Gemsbok Bull
The entire hunting trip while on the meat processing company's land…. We have seen herds of Gemsbok running at the first sight of the truck.
Our last hunt of the trip, not the most eloquent but a hunt to be remembered for sure.
Later in the evening, a small group of Gemsbok bulls split off and we were able to foll... Read more#seeyainthewoods #seeyainthebush #mangwasafaris #brag #bragginwall #huntingtrophy
Day 6 part 1: AidanTheHunter vs Male Ostrich
Back onto the property owned by the meat processing company, we kept seeing groups of ostrich walking around as well as eggs stashed around the ground while walking…. If you wanna win at hide and seek, play with an ostrich. They don't seem to grasp the concept of hiding their eggs… they are right out in the open ready f...

Day 5 part 1: AidanTheHunter vs. Blue Wildebeest Cow (The Rematch).
Up early for breakfast once again…. Then out to the truck to try to see some early morning movement of the Wildebeest. Driving a large section of the 1,000 acres, we eventually notice some movement in the thick bush… of course they had to be in the thick stuff…
Stopping the truck to see if they ... Read more#seeyainthewoods #seeyainthebush #mangwasafaris #brag #bragginwall #huntingtrophy
Day 4 part 1: AidanTheHunter vs. Blue Wildebeest.
This morning was spent riding along with our friend who was in search of a zebra and keeping an eye out for a herd of Blue Wildebeest for Aidan. After a few hours, a beautiful Zebra was found and harvested…. Leaving us to be on the hunt for the Wildebeest.
At the hot point of the day, we decided to try a box bli... Read more#seeyainthewoods #seeyainthebush #mangwasafaris #brag #bragginwall #huntingtrophy
