Duck Hunt Circle Event

Duck Hunt Circle Event
January 20-22, 2023

Sponsored by

Well, another Circle Event in the books! This was our first event around a duck hunt and we’re sure it’s not going to be our last. The ducks, however, didn’t cooperate very much. A few hit the ground but not as many as we had hoped. But that’s how hunting goes. Otherwise it was great to meet some new Circle Event attendees and have some fun around the pool table, ping pong table, shuffle board, and of course, corn hole. I think one our Arkansas guys (Dale) seemed to have a little expertise in everything – including winning our Bass Pro Gift Card, sponsored by Steve Castle’s Cowboy Resources.

Bud, Jeremiah, and Mark also made the trip from Arkansas. I had met Mark at our trout event and he not only made the trip to Texas, but brought three more guys with him. (I wish we could have put them on more ducks)

Also, Matt Martin was our host. This was not only his first time hosting, but his first experience with our Circle Events. We had a mutual friend (Chase) who introduced us, and Matt thought these events would be a great way to be involved. Chase was sort of his assistant at the event. These two were awesome and I enjoyed hanging around them as they served. The last night there, we ate Ribeye steaks. Can’t get much better than that. Chase also brought his friend Aaron. Aaron is my kind of guy. Likes to laugh, cut up, and talk trash when he’s playing cornhole. I mean, what’s not to like?? Jason Mears is a local Texan and longtime friend. He’s a fixture at several of these events, and I always love seeing him. And then there was Ray. He’s not only an Outdoor Truths board member, but an avid hunter and fishermen. He brought his longtime friend, Larry. Larry came with a reputation of being a duck slayer. Again, I wish more ducks would have visited, but Matt spent lots of hours and miles in the days before, locating our best options. They were good …. before we arrived. LOL. But we’ll get them next time. And it was good to see Gaylon again. I first met him in Arkansas at our trout event. He makes custom fishing rods in his spare time. We actually gave one away a couple of years ago.

I was also glad to share some faith lessons with everyone there. I love encouraging men and hopefully sending them back home being glad they came. And nothing can happen without my sponsors. This Circle Event was sponsored by John Hunter Home Builders in Flower Mound Texas. John loves Outdoor Truths and loves doing his part to make what we do available to others.

Let me know if you would like to host an event or come to an event. We still have openings at our golf event in March and soon we’ll be posting out trout event that takes place in August.
