Texas Hunting Traditions

Meet an Austin man who took up hunting and fishing as an adult and is now passing along these traditions to his sons. Follow a conservationist and hunter as he hits the woods in search of the Eastern Wild Turkey. Every year 98-year-old Mabel Birkner hits the woods and heads for the family's favorite deer blind. This feisty woman of the wilds has a lot of knowledge to pass down to her family.
