    Sunday Beach Port O’Connor

    Sunday Beach is certainly one of the hidden jewels of the Texas Gulf Coast.  Accessible only by boat, it offers a day of adventure and solitude seldom found in this modern world.  It is relatively close to Port O’Connor.  Although not “easy” to get to for a novice, it was a local favorite and the…

    Kolpin Stronghold Gun Boot XL Transport

    Our 2017 Polaris Ranger XP 1000 Hunter Edition came equipped with the factory rack-mounted gun boots.  Great concept except for the fact that the boots are not large enough to accommodate many of the guns we hunt with.  For example, I am currently running a suppressed Bergara HMR 6.5 Creedmoor with a Nightforce NXS scope. …

This camera disappears on a tree trunk.  The small size along with the “TRUBARK HD” color and texture are a welcome change from the old shiny plastic box design of the past.
