Enjoying the cold Alberta air in my Lady Dream Season suit!It's safe to say that this month has been a bit crazy for me here in Texas! My hunting season started off with a trip to Alberta to chase after mule deer with my husband Mike. This season, we are filming for
Dream Season 6 "Redemption" a show which will air on the Outdoor Channel Summer '09 produced by Drury Outdoors, ScentBlocker & ScentShield! Mike & I participated in
Dream Season 4"Couples"(available on DVD @ www.druryoutdoors.com) two years ago and had a wonderful experience and we're looking forward to this season! Unfortunately we had to return to Houston four days into our mule deer hunt due to Hurricane Ike. We made it back home on the last flight into Houston from Calgary on the same day Ike was due to make landfall! We hunkered down with family (about 20 of us & 8 dogs) and rode out the storm. Luckily, our home was not damaged, but we were without electricity for 13 days! My three children were out of school for two weeks and besides being inconvenienced a bit they had a blast on their unexpected "holiday"!

Opening Weekend in Texas! September 27, 2008
Me & Mike grinning ear to ear after harvesting this
195 5/8 buck on our place in south Texas!
Archery season opened on Saturday, September 27th in south Texas and Mike & I anxiously awaited for that morning to arrive! A buck we named "Big Boy" had made an appearance on several Reconyx pics and was frequenting a water source close to one of our set-ups. There was no doubt where we would be sitting opening morning. Morning came and with me hunting & Mike behind the camera, "Big Boy" made an appearance late in the hunt. Last year on
Dream Season 11, Mike had encouraged me to let him walk & was I ever glad I did! He presented me with a 25 yard shot & the PSE X-Force took care of business! The buck was scored by a Boone & Crockett scorer at 195 5/8 & nets 190 7/8. I celebrated my first velvet buck, my first opening day buck & my biggest buck ever!
