The Beginning.......

All of my life I have had a dream to own my own "piece of dirt" - not just an acre or two - but a tract large enough to feel like you could get lost. Large enough to feel somewhat "wild". The main purpose of this tract would be, of course, to hunt whitetails! After all this is TEXAS - what else is land for?

Well a few years ago I got the opportunity to acquire a sizeable tract of prime East Texas property right in the heart of some of the best whitetail country in this part of the state! It was almost emotionally overwhelming the first time I set foot on the property after signing the papers. I couldn't believe it was really mine!

We (by "we" I mean me and my family with extra effort and time coming from my son Chase who manages the property full-time) immediately set out to create the finest deer hunting property in the state. We know it would be a lot of work and it would take time but it is a true "labor of love". We built roads, ponds, fences and food plots. We put up a barn, cut timber, trapped predators, and setup deer stands and blinds. We planted good trees and killed the bad ones. We cleared and we burned...........and that was just in the first year and we are only getting started!

I decided to start this blog because I felt it was important to document what we doing for future reference. Not that it is all that important or significant to most people but IT IS important and significant to us - if for nothing more than the benefit of nostalgia - so we can look back at it one day and remember the good times, learn from the bad ones and just enjoy it all over again.

What I plan to do is document the happenings on the C4 on a fairly regular basis. We experience something new almost everyday and it is a continual learning experience that we never tire of. I hope you find it interesting and maybe learn something too....it should at least be entertaining.
