That’s What It’s All About!
It’s not rocket science….it’s not complex! Hunting is fun and a way of life that hunters pass on to those they love and care about. Hunters educate the next generation about the beauty, joy and responsibilities of this wonderful heritage. Hunting is a direct tie to God’s earth and is a way that hunters can help others to reconnect to the land that may have lost their way. Hunting is about guaranteeing that this legacy will be available to our future generations because hunters care enough about the land to fight and keep our way of life…to pass it on. Young Eli and his father are a perfect example of “what it’s all about!” Eli wants his son to have as many opportunities as possible to learn about animals and their ecosystems as well as the ethics and skills needed to become a good hunter.
Management Hunt with Houston Safari Club!
The Houston Safari Club sponsors many hunts throughout the year that gives young adults a chance to be exposed to a hunting environment and a hunting opportunity. Some of these youth are given their first opportunity for a hunting experience while others are treated to an opportunity to enjoy this wonderful way of life again and reinforce the wonderful heritage that they have been given. Experienced hunting sponsors accompany these groups into the field to lend their expertise and life experiences to the group for educational, safety and enjoyment purposes. They also insure proper hunter safety and instill the total experience attitude toward these novice hunters. The sponsors that accompanied a group of four hunters to the Patio Ranch for a management deer hunt and enriched the experience for them were Riecke Baumann and David & Susan Kalich.

Father/Daughter Axis Deer Hunt!
Steve had been wanting to take a really large axis for a couple of years. When he received a photo of some tremendous deer currently on the Patio Ranch, he quickly decided that this was the year and made reservations. There were a number of 32"+ deer in the picture; but one really looked like "the deer" that he had dreamed about and would look beautiful on the wall above his fireplace. Steve's daughter Erin has also developed a love for hunting and had some free time to accompany him. Steve and daughter Erin are like "peas & carrots": both are loyal Aggies, both love to hunt and Steve is a pharmacist while Erin is studying to be a pharmacist. So, when Steve decided that he was going to hunt axis deer, Erin was not to be left out of the adventure.
