By Steve Knight| Tyler Morning Telegraph Verified East Texas has been lucky. While Central Texas and the Panhandle have been hit with some devastating wildfires in the past decade or so, East Texas has only had to deal with smaller outbreaks. It is not that East Texas is not ripe for a big fire in the late winter and fall when the coastal fields turn brown and the winds pick up. Where there are hay fields or pine forests there is always plenty of tinder.
By Steve Knight| Tyler Morning Telegraph Verified I have hunted spring turkeys across Texas, and there was never a location I did not like. However, if I had to pick one as a favorite it would probably be the Graff Ranch in Red River County. I have been lucky enough to hunt there several times, but it was the first trip that stands out the most. It was 1995, the first year the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department had opened a season in Northeast Texas after years of restocking eastern wild turkeys.
