South Texas Birds--Rio Grande Valley Private Ranches

Submitted by David Cardinal on Tue, 08/11/2009 - 17:37
Dates: 
Mar 13, 2011 - Mar 16, 2011

Maximum 8 photographers (starts immediately following NANPA Summit)

Based on the continued success of the Lens and Land ranches in the Rio Grande Valley and the great trip we all had this year and last year (a sold out safari with a full set of satisfied participants), I'm pleased to announce that I'll be leading another photo safari to the Lens and Land ranches next March in conjunction with the NANPA Summit which will be right in McAllen. We'll have 4 full days of private shooting at the premier award winning Dos Venadas and Campos Viejos ranches which are only open to guided groups. Hardy Jackson, our co-host, won the most recent Valley Land Fund photo contest on his ranch, Campos Viejos so you'll have every chance to take similar award winning images.

Normally I lead this safari in April, but because the NANPA Summit is in McAllen in March we'll be running it immediately after NANPA.

At the same time I've been puzzling over how to get my mind around having a D300 and a D700. Then yesterday on the pier at Padre Island it hit me... Read more »

I've owned several different portable blinds and they've all been a compromise. I just got a new one and have found it much better than previous ones I've owned so I wanted to pass the information along to you...
