Passport to Texas

Passport to Texas with Support from the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program

Call it a sign of the times: hunting opportunities for women are on the rise. And Texas Parks and Wildlife TV producer, Abe Moore joined some women on a wild goose hunt.

60— We followed along some ladies on a goose hunt down by Bay City. It was a chance for more and more ladies to get interested in the sport of hunting. So, as part of our story, we like to find some interesting people – and we did. We found a couple of ladies – two Laurens, as a matter of fact. One, she’s a newcomer to the sport.

The big excitement is when you see that huge flock [Wow, look at that.] and there’s hundreds of them. [Y’all get ready.]

And the other, she’s into hunting big time; Lauren LaBorde is her name. And she does skeet shooting. She’s a hard core hunter. She likes to go out on this hunt as a way to escape the nine-to-five grind she has going on back in Houston.

We shot twenty birds today [Yeah?] pretty good for some ladies, here.

Normally the hunt ends at ten in the morning, eleven. And these ladies stayed past noon. I’m looking at the clock going: ‘Okay, I’ve got enough here. We can go home now – it’s windy. Cold.’ So, yeah, they did great. This show airs on Texas Parks and Wildlife Television the week of November 11-17.

Thanks, Abe.
