Big Buck Report: New Year's Eve Fireworks

It gets pretty lonely in a deer stand. Unless you’re with a hunting buddy, you’re left with fuzzy recaps of the day's activity when you get back to camp. You're left to describe everything you saw to the other hunters and huntresses, which let's face it, can house some embellishment — especially if you come back empty-handed. Now thanks to video, you can get a better since of what it's like to deer hunt at the Texas LG2 Ranch.

During the New Year's Eve 2013 evening hunt, I was positioned in Mark's stand on the east side of the property. It wouldn't be long before my guests arrived. I'll let the video set the scene from here. 

*Warning: If you don’t like hunting shows where animals are harvested on camera, this video might not be for you.

The Dawn of a New Ranch Blog Era

As many of you know, we recently said goodbye to the ranch patriarch, Billie G. Though his jovial presence will be dearly missed, his passing helped us better appreciate the many blessings in our lives. The love of our Lord. The bond of family. The fellowship of friends. And a place where we can all hang our hats and laugh at the memories we've made together. This site is merely a placeholder for those moments in Texas LG2 Ranch history.

Since creating this blog back in 2008, there have been plenty of memories added but few design updates. If this was to house our precious moments, the blog needed to get with the times and have a more modern feel. No more stale brown background. I give you the new look of the Texas LG2 Ranch blog. Trumpets blaring. Teresa supplied the background photo — a beautiful landscape portrait of the wheat fields. You'll find more of her excellent photography as well as other ranch photos here. It's a small step toward rekindling the early blog magic. In the future, look for more content, more photos and more video, including footage taken during the hunt. Happy blogging, everyone!
