Gary is the consummate fisherman, foregoing live bait for artificial bait, and catching more fish than everyone else. We fished in several lakes in Mexico, and he always gave our guide my filet knife. We "borrowed" the travel trailer from our duck hunting lease, and went fishing on Lake Esperanza in Mexico. Our guide on Lake Esperanza was a man who lived at the lake. His fishing gear consisted of a beer can, fishing line, and one hook. When he got hooked on a submerged tree, he dived overboard to retrieve his hook. We gave him lots of our gear when we left.

We hunted ducks, doves & deer in lots of places in Texas, sleeping in cars, trucks and tents, but several times in some very nice places. Once on a white-winged dove hunt in Mexico, we stayed in a "motel" in Jimenez. A man who identified himself as a Deputy Sheriff in Houston, and who was rather boisterous, stuck a large knife in the wall in his room for security. We recently re-counted that experience.
