South Texas Wildlife Photo Tour

Trip Report

Better late than never ... I finally had time to post some of the images from our South Texas Wildlife Photo Tour. We visited three ranches, and were quite successful with a wide variety of species. I did not keep a daily journal, so this trip report will illustrate that a picture equals a thousand words, so the report will be 'wordy' with images.

The important thing to consider here is that all of these images were made in six days of shooting, and I wasn't in the photo blinds as long or as often as our participants since I was either driving or leading our people to the blinds or baiting and setting up perches, and usually entered the blinds later and left earlier. Nonetheless, Mary and I got a lot of shooting in and, as usual, we enjoyed the shoot immensely. We'll be doing this again in 2017.
