Novice hunter and THFN member Matthew Bell shares how he recently introduced his 8-year-old son to the sport of hunting by taking him on a one-day quail hunt at the Thunderhole Ranch in Coke County, Texas.  Their experience shows that even inexperienced sportsmen can create a family hunting tradition to pass along.

Don't complain about the cost of hunting in Texas if you haven't taken advantage of the many public hunting opportunities available. There are several raffles that give you a 1 in 10 chance of winning - did you buy your $10 permit?

Hunting season has been underway for over 3 months now and chances are good many of you have a freezer well stocked with everything from dove breasts to venison steaks. Game meat is far more nutritious than domestic but it does require different cooking techniques. Take venison, for example. Venison is very lean and what fat there is in the meat should be removed; it’s the fat that sometimes contributes to the ‘gamey’ taste that some folks complain about.
