Play by Play Hunt Report

wsi_header

Despite our hot, dry conditions, we have managed to have a great spring turkey season in terms of our harvest percentages. On all of our guided, package type hunts, each hunter has shot at least one bird, and on our two bird packages, approximately 70% of our hunters have harvested both birds. Even more impressive is the size of many of these birds, with a large percentage of 4 year old gobblers being taken with 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" spurs. We have one more group of turkey hunters scheduled for this season and we will be done. Thanks for perusing this Play by Play, and please drop us a line or give us a call if we can assist in any way with your hunting travels. 

 

Cheers, 

 

Your friends at WSI.

Greg and staff,

 

I just got home  to NY after a long journey back from Texas and am still basking in the glow of another great hunting experience with Wildlife Systems.All four of us had a great time and it was great to spend some quality time with my Dad and friends.My Dad got his first Rio Grande turkey and a nice one at that.I harvested the biggest turkey I have ever shot. He was a 4 or 5 year old bird we figure with an 11 inch beard and 1.25 spurs and weighed 22lbs.  Apparently Don said he had been outsmarting quite a few hunters through the years and knew the routine. To this day I have never had such an exciting turkey hunt as I did with this bird.  He was like Houdini.

But someone was looking over me that morning and luck prevailed.  Don and Eric did a great job guiding us.  They both worked extremely hard to keep us on birds under very adverse conditions and their hard work paid off with each of us being successful.  Charles kept us beyond well fed as always.

I'm not looking forward to cooking for myself tomorrow after being spoiled for the past few days.  I can't say enough about your operation and look forward to returning soon.  I have included some pictures that I had taken to capture the memories of this trip.  Thank you......Craig Conway

Hello Greg, just thought I would drop a line to let you know how pleased I am with the mount of my deer. Palermo taxidermy in Caldwell, Texas did an excellent job and finished in record time. I can't stop looking at it. Thank you for recommending them. Hopefully I will get to use them again this year. Talk to you soon...Jim Hammond

FABULOUS Nilgai Hunt!  Hunting with Rudy was out of this world FUN and GOOD!  I darn near cried when I had to leave about noon today...

 

We got great encounter footage, saw a lot of critters...and shot an unbelievable bull, using my .416 Rigby.  I dropped him off at the taxidermist on the way home...  We had kinda measured him in the dark...knowing he was long and heavy horned.  We measured him in Pearsall... He's 10 inches on one side and 10 2/8 on the other... to me that's HUGE... My best before was right a 9 inches long.

 

Attached are 3 photos... I'll try to get you some more as well...and send some down to Rudy as well.

 

The hunt was filmed for "North American Hunter" television show where I'm currently a co-host.  The show airs on Versus and several other networks...  Once they complete the editing I'll let you know when they expect to air it.  I'll also get copies of the show for you, Rudy and Danny Butler as well.

 

Hunting with Rudy was a GREAT pleasure!!!!!!!!Larry Weishuhn

With Ruben you never know what you are going to get. Needless to say his turkey hunter was happy when he removed this local bystander from their blind. For your next fully guided snake hunt with WSI and Ruben, feel free to contact us for availability.

Once again WSI is putting together a strong spring season of turkey hunting as hunters from around the country converged on Texas to fill their turkey tags. We want to especially congratulate 70 plus year old, Charlotte Houser, for her grand slam. This great grandmother decided a few months ago to persue a North American slam of turkeys, and she finished it off with her Eastern bird from Georgia. We are pleased she chose WSI for her Rio Grande bird.

Busy is the easy way to put it. More and more hunters are finding great pleasure in extending their hunting season in south Texas via exotics. Long time friend and T.V. personality, Larry Weishuhn, knows how fun it can be as he filmed a nilgai hunt for North American Hunter t.v. this past week. In addition, Rafael Ruiz, a highly published outdoor writer from Spain, got into the action.
