    TX Public Land Hunt Recaps

    TX Public Land Hunt Recaps

    In this episode we have two listeners of the podcast, Renee and Ramon, who recently went on a TX public land hunt here in deep South Texas. They each reached out to Manny to help them scout the area for places to setup.  I myself also recently went on a TX public land hunt on the opposite side of the state. Theses hunts were archery hunts, Renee and Ramon’s primary target game was Nilgai and mine was Mule deer. So, we thought we would do a show recapping our hunts, discussing lessons learned, and tips for others going on these TX public land hunts.  Manny takes the lead as host, with questions for our guests and myself.

    Tales from a Hunting Family's Matriarch

    Tales from a Hunting Family's Matriarch

    A special 75th Episode, deserves a special guest! I sat down with me grandmother, Juanita, a while back to get her story of how it once was and how our family got its start as a hunting family. Although not a hunter herself, was raised on game meat, learned how to cook it and has been around it all her life. She shares an interesting family history describing how our Ancestors hunted for necessity and then later evolved into the strong Escobar family tradition it is today. I am also joined by my cousins, Noe, Adrian, and Andrew who are also hunters and they ask their questions, as well.  A little different episode, but I think it’s interesting to hear how it once was and how I would assume several families have a similar history. I wanted to get her story recorded as I believe it’s important to learn about our family’s heritage and legacy from our elders.  If you are blessed to have grandparents in your life, make it a point to sit down with them and ask them share their story.

    A Minute with the Next Generation of Anglers-EP 69

    Happy Father’s Day!  Manny and I had been planning to get some youth on the podcast for a while now and it finally came together.  Join us as we sit down with Manny and his boys and special guest Julius  AKA “JuJu” and his dad, John.  The boys share their favorite ways to fish, some of their favorite fishing stories, and a variety of fishing topics.  We also talk about safety while fishing, PFDs, wading around sting rays, and boat safety. These kids are great up and coming anglers and they did awesome on the podcast. So I thought would be the perfect episode to release on Father’s Day, 2023.

    No boat? No Problem Ep. 68

    In this episode we talk about and how and where to fish saltwater without out a boat. Many folks, including myself, either don’t have the means or access to a boat, and that’s okay.  You don’t need a boat to go saltwater fishing and catch fish.  We talk about wading in from shore, fishing the surf, fishing from a pier, and fishing the jetties.  All these areas are good for seeking saltwater game fish and good areas to take kids or beginner anglers. Manny also shares some knowledge about Frogging and gigging for flounder.

We had some ups and some downs and even some hounds.  The hunters experienced 3 different ways to hunt Nilgai and they each tell their own stories.  As we recap the hunt, Manny shares some of his Nilgai wisdom along the way. Yes, the title is a Mike Tyson quote and for good reason. Listen to hear how it all went down.

    Ep 60 Snake Protection in the Field

    In this Episode, Manny and I talk about snake protection and snake safety in the field.  If you hunt in South Texas, you know it is prime rattlesnake country.  We discuss snake boots, chaps, gaiters and snake proof materials.  We also touch on snake safety in general, things to consider prior to being in the field and what to do should you have an encounter.  Manny shares a few encounters he’s had in field with snakes.  One very real and unfortunate for one of his working dogs and a few close calls that were hair raising. If you’re hunting the brush country and currently don’t run any kind of snake protection, I ask you to have a listen and hopefully you will reconsider. Be safe out there!
