I have emphasized the uncomfortable fact that there is only one way in and one way out. Rain or shine, cold northern winds or hot, stale summer air, we have no control. The realities of an excursion like this have been conveyed to the best of my abilities. No one can say, “I didn’t know! ”- that’s how clear this has to be. In my experience traveling these rivers the way we do, most people will not commit. They make excuses often disguised as reasons, like a recent family situation, a sudden health concern, or a last-minute work conflict. Whatever the reasoning, the group whittles away little by little until there is only a fraction left. I know life interferes, but what I am trying to say is that the average “outdoorsy” guy will almost always cancel his commitment. This time, however, is much, much different. It’s about 5 p. m. and we are just rolling into Marlene’s place outside of Del Rio, Texas. It’s been a little while, and I was excited to introduce Marlene to everyone. The first things people notice are her pet turkeys, guineas, and strangely large roosters. They are really cute—until around 4 a. m. Soon enough, Mike Naccarato with Far West Texas Outfitters makes his way over to introduce himself. Although Mike and I have never floated together, we have been brainstorming this trip for a while. Mike is a character blend of East Austin and Alpine West Texas: cool and slightly trendy, but rough and resourceful. Definitely a guy you want to befriend.

Random washouts, massive holes, and lots of dust. If we passed another vehicle, we all silently hoped that it wasn’t federales, or worse. Rolling hills, desert valleys, a few dirt roads peeking out of the sagebrush, and the occasional rancho casita. Desolation, simply put. Although it’s only thirty-five miles, it takes an hour and a half to travel it. Finally, the blue gate! We pull in, shut the gate behind us, and breathe a sigh of relief both physically and figuratively. From here, the road is worse, but no one can approach us quickly or unknowingly. We roll the windows down, crank the music up, and slowly let go of anxiety like deer corn on a dirt road. There are still another eight miles of travel, but we’ve started washing our worries away, knowing the beauty and fun that awaits us. With a generator as reliable as a coin toss, collecting firewood along the way is essential. The land rolls along with peaks and valleys covered in prickly pear cactus, sagebrush, and Huisache (wee-sash) grass, with an occasional group of dying mesquite trees. Everything has to be hardy to survive the endless drought conditions. We pass a few old settlements, but time and erosion have taken a toll, leaving only your imagination to fill in the blanks. By now, we can see the two hilltop peaks that gave this ranch its name. As we make our way through the second gate, you can see the Rio Grande in the distance getting a little closer with... > This article was originally published by Jed Mazour in The Kendall Gentleman, Kendall County’s premier men’s magazine.

Read the original article on TheKendallGentleman. com → The 30,000 acre Continental Ranch sits just outside of Comstock Texas. Flanked by the mighty Pecos River on her west and no man’s land on her east. In 1836 Texas won its independence and the battle to settle a claim of your own was an appealing offer to young, tough ambitious men. It’s thought that sometime around the 1880’s is when Mr. Prosser was granted the land, now the Continental Ranch, from the Republic of Texas. Although this would make him the first owner on record, the ranch was inhabited by a few feral homesteaders. Mr. Gobel and a man they called Julio. As the story goes, Mr. Prosser let these men continue to live their time out on the ranch. Maybe as payment for help in the infancy stage of the ranch’s development but nobody knows for sure. In 1883 the Transcontinental Railway was under construction through Comstock. This would bring an influx in Chinese labor as well as the first time goods like grains, lumber, tools and other necessities needed for a homestead would be accessible in such a remote area. This was the beginning of a new Texas frontier and the nation’s second largest economy.  I’ve had a special hunt in my mind for a long time. One I dreamed would take me to the most wild places in the state. I dreamed of panoramic views without civilization in sight. I dreamed about terrain so rough it would test my mental fortitude. I wanted the ability the take my best and my longest shot. I didn’t want any guarantees but rather, all the risk.

Read the original article on TheKendallGentleman. com → Southwest Texas is a very special place for my family, specifically, on my in-laws’ side. In 1962, my wife’s grandfather purchased a roughly 450-acre ranch in Pearsall, not for farming or ranching, but for a place the family could enjoy together, learning how to hunt, camp, and spend time just being kids and learning to respect the outdoors. Since then, it has become a place where family roots have taken a proud hold. In the early days of the 60s and 70s, Dr. O’Connor was the only doctor in town. Tending to anything from cuts and colds to broken bones and even delivering babies at home. It would not have been unusual for him to show up at your doorstep with his medical bag to check up on you if you were feeling under the weather. The kind of doctor people truly trusted and would end up treating several generations of Frio County families. Although we never met, he seemed to me like the kind of man you don’t want to disappoint. Not out of fear of him, but out of respect, not to let him down, knowing how much he loved and cherished his family. Dr. Timothy O’Connor passed away in the mid-90s, but the legacy he left behind started to grow. Over the past 25 years, I have heard so many loving stories about him from his family and even met multiple patients he treated while practicing in Pearsall. It’s clear he was a well-respected, honest, and kind man who cared deeply for his family and young grandchildren. Denise’s mother, Annie, moved to Pearsall in 1962. At that time, just a little girl,... > This article was originally published by Jed Mazour in The Kendall Gentleman, Kendall County’s premier men’s magazine.

Read the original article on TheKendallGentleman. com → This was going to be a unique trip in a few ways. Instead of our standard four-day float, we will only be camping one night and fishing two half days. How? Why? Good questions. Through some river relationships we have developed, we got an offer to camp on some premier private land. This stretch, about 2 ½ miles, has the best fishing on the upper river in my opinion. With our busy schedules, this was the time we were able to carve out. We all agreed, let’s get out there while the getting is good! It seems like every trip we take, there is always someone new and always someone who couldn’t make it back. This time, it was a young man named Austin. Hunter and Austin are great friends and work together every day. Austin was no stranger to the stories of the Devils River and was quick to accept the invite. He doesn’t have a lot of experience with the type of trips we take, but despite his lack of experience, he makes up for it with his drive to get knee-deep into the situation. In other words, he’s extremely excited and engaged in learning. But he had some surprises in store. We make our way down the dusty, winding roads towards the river valley. Passing a lot of my favorite cactus, the ocotillo! Denise and I both have ocotillo tattoos on our forearms stemming from trips we have taken in South and West Texas. Once we make it to the river, it’s time to get a camping spot picked out and unload gear as quickly as possible.

Read the original article on TheKendallGentleman. com → As a kid, you may have dreamed a lot about the great outdoors; things like snow-covered Rocky Mountain peaks, raging rivers, and giant wild animals. Your dreams and imagination could take you to places you have never seen before, but in your mind, it feels so familiar, having those thoughts of hiking to the summit of a snow-covered mountain, or setting up a makeshift tent and camping in the wild to see how long you could last. As you get older, maybe in your teens, you might dream of hiking miles across a mountain range chasing a bull elk or even my favorite, an encounter with a grizzly bear! What boy hasn’t had that dream? ! Hell, I told a story to my kids for years when they were little about fighting a grizzly bear with just my two hands. It still makes me smile and laugh when I look at the scar on my chest. It wasn’t really from a fight with a bear... But these are the things a young boy thinks about. He dreams about being bigger and stronger. He dreams about being the toughest person in the world and taking on any challenge his mind might create. At some point in your life as a young man, you might have even come across the adventures of Lewis and Clark. If so, reading about their experiences was probably a lot like throwing gas on a raging wildfire. You would reach your limit of imagination and start putting plans on paper. Over the years, as our kids got older, we would have the ability and time to take on some of these challenges.... > This article was originally published by Jed Mazour in The Kendall Gentleman, Kendall County’s premier men’s magazine.

Read the original article on TheKendallGentleman. com → Cooler mornings and earlier sunsets. An extra cup of morning coffee and maybe a finger or two of evening bourbon. Time to inventory the firewood out front and spread the rye grass seed. To most people it’s probably just a break from the heat, pumpkin lattes at the coffee shop and a change of wardrobe. A chance to actually enjoy taking the dog for a long walk and maybe try to get into an outside exercise routine. Who knows, maybe you will even plant a fall garden. This is not what’s on my mind. . I feel like I have an animal instinct inside me, maybe it’s in my DNA. As the whitetail deer transition from red summer velvet to hard horn nomads, I feel it! It’s the feeling of the light around you dimming and the soft sounds of the creatures coming out at night. The feeling of a fire burning in the distance warming the cool night air. It’s like the change in seasons sets off a survival instinct in animals and in man. I am a believer that God built us in this way and I embrace it. In fact, I am absolutely consumed by it. Since our kids were born they have been submerged in this lifestyle. In fact, while Denise was around eight months pregnant with Hunter, her and I were camping and shot one of my best low fence deer to this day. I can remember needing her help to pull this deer up on to the tailgate and how big her belly was at the time with baby Hunter. I will never forget that.

I knew what I needed to write about, but I have been avoiding it. I have endless stories to share of the outdoors, and I enjoy doing so, but the truth is, I feel I owe it to myself and anyone experiencing the same feelings to talk this out, so to speak. There are thoughts and questions many of us share that we can’t answer right now. Sometimes burying these will seemingly make them go away. But my heart is telling me to talk about it. We (community volunteers) all have our experiences with this recent tragedy on the Guadalupe River. Some you hear about on the news, others from conversations with locals while cleaning up debris, or just airing things out with friends. I have heard some stories that can haunt a man’s life forever. Stories that are so heartbreaking they should only be in a movie and never lived out. Some that will undeniably change the course of the lives of its cast. This story is mine. I share it with Denise, Cory, Shannon, Matt, and Erin. There was never a question of whether we should be doing something to help. There were only questions like: Where do we start? What time will we start up again tomorrow, and the next day, and so on? As I am writing this, I can feel the uneasiness of my friends. This is not something that any of them would talk openly about, nonetheless, write an article. But like I said, I feel called to do so.

Read the original article on TheKendallGentleman. com → With September around the corner, I am starting to let dove hunting creep back into my mind. Dove season comes about the same time as our peak exhaustion from the south Texas summer heat. The real dog days of summer. . The kind of heat that even a dip in my swimming pool won’t take my core temperature down. But at the same time as I am sweating through my clothes at a standstill, I know relief is just weeks away. Opening weekend of dove season signals a change in seasons. While it may still be as hot as our shotgun barrels outside, cold beer and groups of low flyers sure can cool things down. This is the time of year you might consider leaving an ice chest, shotgun, bucket, and Turtlebox in the ready position because if you have any good friends (kidding, sort of. . ), you will almost certainly get a random invite to a farmer’s field in the South zone. In case you aren’t familiar with what this looks like, let me paint you a mental picture. After gathering up your necessities: shotgun, ice chest, bucket, Turtlebox, snake boots, and maybe a change of clothes, it’s vamonos! We tend to hunt in the Uvalde or Crystal City area, so it’s about an hour drive. As we are driving down dusty farm roads, we are met at an open gate with a ranch manager sitting in his truck, soaking up the AC while he can. After a very brief conversation at the gate, we make our way into the field. These are usually sunflower fields with the perimeter plowed about 75 yards... > This article was originally published by Jed Mazour in The Kendall Gentleman, Kendall County’s premier men’s magazine.

Read the original article on TheKendallGentleman. com → I set my alarm for 4:30 am, knowing I will wake up with excitement before it even goes off. Then, the boat ramp anxiety sets in a bit. But all of this is so familiar to me that the love of this sport outweighs the stresses. It’s been almost 8 years now since we met in a classroom with Welton Pickering, Owen, Kade, and a handful of other students and parents to form this club. But like all good things, it seems like yesterday. I gently wake my wife as I am getting ready. Tournament jersey, check. Hat, check. Sunblock, check. Sunglasses, check. Most important, a prayer of thanks and for God’s watching eyes for our safety. Never a prayer to win. Denise always wakes up happy to help me with the snacks for the day, the truck and trailer, as well as help others coordinate getting on the water. We make our way down a dirt road at Pace Bend Park on Lake Travis. Only a single boat ramp is open due to the years of continued drought. This is a battle we fight more often now. We get the boat in the water, truck parked, and beach the boat until it’s time for the release. Cade and Grayson climb aboard and get all their food, drinks, and tackle situated so it won’t be in the way when we start running around the boat, fighting fish. It’s hard to believe it’s the last tournament of the season. As the sun comes up, the last of the 68 boats unloads in the water.

Pulling in, you immediately notice the other trucks carrying kayaks parked around the barn, guys sitting in lawn chairs in the shade, and the Texas flag flying over the Pila. Grabbing my overnight bag, I head into Marlene’s house to scout for my bed of choice. Each room is lined with several twin beds. I always try to pick something near a window and fan. The nights are hot so this is the most comfortable place to get some rest and I know it’s going to be the last time for four days to do so. Marlene’s house always reminds me of nights spent at my grandparents farm. Warm temperatures at night, the window drapes blowing with the breeze, the rhythm of a box fan, and quietness. The kind of quietness that’s keeps you awake with your own thoughts. Up before the sun, Marlene has the coffee on and a breakfast casserole ready on the counter as she sits on the couch watching the news, making small talk with us and praying for rain in the forecast. That night we spent our time unpacking the kayaks, dividing all the camping gear and food, stringing up our rods and packing all of our clothes and essentials for the next four days into dry bags. After that, its cold beer, fajitas, and conversation for as long as you will. On this trip we brought a friend of mine who has never been on the Devils River.

Read the original article on TheKendallGentleman. com → I am going to take two steps forward and one back with this article. I know I just got done talking to you about the transition from hunting season to spring fishing. But, there is one last hunting opportunity here in Texas that comes at the same transitional time. Spring turkey season! I am not talking about shooting turkeys out of the deer blind in the winter. You all know the anxious feeling you get while waiting for a buck; the cold sets in, the sun is coming up fast and the deer are leaving the feeder but there is a few turkeys hanging around so naturally, one might take a leave. Well, this is completely different. This is the time of year when the Rio Grande turkey is on full display. Toms will begin gobbling and strutting to attract a hen at the peak of mating season. If you haven’t had a chance to witness this, I will tell you, it’s an impressive thing to watch, but are not easy to approach! Turkeys have exceptional eye sight. With vision nearly 360 degrees, imaging over twice as sharp as humans and a reaction time that will certainly leave you behind. All this makes for a much more difficult hunt than most expect. The preferred hunting method by most hunters is by shotgun or bow. I am a shotgun hunter. Mainly because I like to increase my odds of success, but like most men, I enjoy the excitement of shooting. Probably the most important part is the most obvious. Find an area where you know turkeys populate. Cover and concealment is crucial!

Read the original article on TheKendallGentleman. com → Fishing the Guadalupe River with Jed Mazour For the avid outdoorsman, February is a slow time of year. Hunting season is wrapped up and it’s too cold to fish most waters. This leaves most of us packing away our camo, cleaning the blood off of our tailgates, and planning our next adventures for early spring. Honestly, this is my favorite time of year! It’s a transition from early morning sits or stalks, walks back to camp from the blind at dark, cold and quiet to turtle box speakers and bright colored kayaks. March is Mother Nature’s birth to a new season. Warm sunshine and spring rain bring back the green to the trees, blooms the cottonwoods that line the rivers, and signals the white bass to make their run up the river to spawn. I always have the same conversation every year with my son about this time. “Do you like hunting season or spring fishing more? ” and it’s always the same answer. Hunting season for him and for me, this is my favorite! I will spend any free time I have in my shop unpacking and cleaning my boat, loading the kayaks back on the jeep (The Moose Caboose), lining fishing rods, sorting tackle, cleaning ice chests and mapping our next drop in location on the Guadalupe River. In the Boerne area, spring is a great time to catch the Largemouth Bass building their beds on the shallow banks preparing for the females to spawn. This is an exceptional time to catch them at a very aggressive state.
