This week’s Oilfield Camo Trophy of the Week is definitely a West Texas Wall-Hanger to remember! For Michael, the weekend’s hunting trip was one of Firsts and Lasts, marking the end of the 2012-2013 deer season. But along with that, he and his crew came away with quite a haul!
Over the weekend, Mike was able to land his very first bow harvest of the season, bringing down this massive 11 point Texas Trophy Buck! Not to be outdone, his wife Ashley was also able to harvest a great-looking 8 point of her own! All in all, the crew was able to bag a total of four wall-worthy Texas Bucks! Now THAT is a way to wrap up the season! Congrats to Michael and his entire crew!
This week’s Trophy of the Week is a real holiday celebration, all the way from the DEEP south in Cypremort Point, Louisiana. Meaning “Dead Cypress” in French, Cypremort Point is a demanding hunting terrain, dominated by coastal marshlands. The region is known for not only its recreational camping and fishing, but for its hunting bounty as well. It was of great importance to the Chitimacha Native Americans that called the area home, and even served as one of the great landmarks of their tribal lands.
It has always been the goal of Oilfield Camo to develop partnerships and opportunities with organizations and individuals who are doing great things for the outdoor community. Team Oilfield Camo had the opportunity to meet with Cris Herrera who is currently serving as the 2013 Royal Rangers National Shooting Sports Program Ambassador. In addition, Cris is the 2013 Representative for Brownells and is the NRA Youth Shooting Sports Ambassador as well!
Aside from his charitable accomplishments, Cris is also an avid sportsman, claiming awards and medals at a number of shooting events and competitions hosted by the Royal Rangers, FCF, JROTC, NRA Postal, and many many more. Additionally, Cris is a hometown boy from Lafayette, Louisiana, born and raised right down the highway from Oilfield Camo’s home base.
We would like to begin by saying THANK YOU to each and every citizen of the Oilfield Camo Nation! Just like our friends and family, we take great pride in the work that the men and women of the Oil and Gas Industry do. Likewise, we know the people who buy Oilfield Camo are proud and supportive of the industry that has given so much to us personally, as well as our friends, family, and customers. With that in mind, Oilfield Camo took some time to think about how we could give back to the loyal citizens of the Oilfield Camo Nation.
“We loaded our gear onto the 4 wheeler and headed to the blind. We got to the blind, unloaded the bike, and Mr. Craig took off to hide it as me and Jacob put out our decoy spread. Once we finished up, we all got in the blind and checked the time. It was 6 am, and shooting time was in 2 minutes. By the time we got situated and loaded up, it was time. I stood up to look around and heard the sound of my first flock of the season and they were coming towards us. I started calling and had them locked up. After a few passes, the group of about 10 specks was making their last pass over the blind and we cut loose dropping 4. I picked them up and the first bird to hit the dirt of the year had a band on it, and it was claimed by Mr. Craig. As soon as I got back in the blind another group was headed right our way. We worked them right in after just 2 passes and killed 3 out of the small group. That gave us 7 birds, 1 shy of our limit. Before I could get back in the blind, another group was already almost 
over the us. I hurried and jumped in and started calling. This time, it was a big group of about 20 birds, all calling and cutting up. Once they made that final approach, we turned Mr. E.P. loose to finish off the limit and he dropped one on the first shot. I checked the time and it was 6:13 AM, an 11 minute hunt. We didn’t even have time to enjoy our satsumas during the hunt!”
