Spring News from Heritage Game Mounts

Spring here at Heritage Game Mounts means we welcome the Sporting Lifestyle with Vintage Fishing Creels, a little Cabin Fever cooled off with some bass bugging and here in San Antonio -Fiesta!

I added some ferns, turtle grass and hydrangeas to one of the vintage creels I recently found to welcome Spring on our front door. Scroll to the end for one I made for sale!

As you know, I write a monthly column for the Women’s Outdoor News, and my latest is how to add a little painted & rustic charm to your ‘cabin’.

Here I painted some native fish on the old doors of our old cabin established in 1926.

In January we traveled to West Point, Mississippi to quail hunt on some of the remaining Mississippi Black Prairie that is being lovingly restored and preserved by the Bryan Family at Prairie Wildlife – a luxurious sporting lodge for all seasons. www.PrairieWildlife.com

Tiger Bass are known to roam in the beautiful lake in front of Bryan Lodge at Prairie Wildlife.

The new shooting tower at Prairie Wildlife is placed in a special spot on the resort – Kathy’s Hill.

While working on Easter decorations passed down in the family…

I am also trying to coordinate which fly lapel pin my hubs should wear for Easter lunch – each one is so unique and he always ‘wears’ them well. heritagegamemounts.com/product-category/sporting-accessories-2/fly-fishing-lapel-pins

Here in South Texas/San Antonio the end of April brings forth our Fiesta celebrations honoring the fallen heroes of the Alamo and Texas Independence.
