EP 622. End of an Era: Coastal Texas Snow Goose Hunting (Part 1)

EPISODE 1/3 GETTING STARTED. In a single, recent American generation, Coastal Texas snow goose hunting went from boom to bust--from a fabled hunting experience that drew hunters from around the world to another soon-to-be chapter in history. This 3-part series explores the rise and fall of snow goose hunting on the Katy Prairie--its boom, culture, decline, and lasting legacy. Legendary Texas outfitter Larry Gore--whose high school project became a half-century guiding career-- his son Isaac, to whom he's passed the torch, and Texas waterfowl historian Rob Sawyer, paint a colorful picture that some may remember, but that is forever gone. In today's episode: what'd the Texas landscape and snow goose hunting look like 50 years ago? How'd a kid manage leases, landowners and clients? How'd a high school project become a life calling? Mentors, hardest lessons learned, advice to aspiring young outfitters?
