Trail Escapes, like many others in the last few days, was was devastated by the flood in the Baton Rouge and surrounding areas. Our office was under 4 feet of water, as well as our home. Everyone is safe and trying to cope with the aftermath. It will be a long road back but we'll get there. I ask all our friends and clients to keep us in their prayers during these trying times.

This is a few of our hunters on our annual duck hunt in Arkansas. Great rainy day hint!

Well, it's happened again today, another police officer killed in the line of duty. As the father of both a police officer and a soldier, this hits to close to home. Here's a quote I came across that sums it up very well.

Today, I will not answer the radio call that your boyfriend has come home
drunk and is beating you again. Today I will not answer the radio call
that your 16 year old daughter, who is very responsible, is four hours
late coming home from school. Today I will not answer the radio call that
your store has been robbed or your house has been burglarized. Today I will
not stop a drunk driver from killing someone. I will not catch a ra**st or
a murderer or a car thief. Today I will not answer the radio call that a man
has a gun or tried to abduct a child or that someone has been stabbed or has
been in a terrible accident. Today I will not save your child that you locked
in a car or the child you were to busy to watch who went outside and fell
into the swimming pool, but that I revived. No, today I will not do
that.

Why? Because Today I was killed by a drunk driver while I was helping push a
disabled car off the highway. Today I was shot and killed during a
routine traffic stop to simply tell someone that they had a taillight
out. Today I was killed in a traffic accident rushing to help a citizen.
Today I was shot and killed serving a warrant on a known drug dealer.
Today I was killed by a man when I came by to do a welfare check because
his family was to busy. Today I was killed trying to stop a bank
robbery or a grocery store robbery. Today I was killed doing my job.
A chaplain and an officer will go to a house and tell a mom and dad or a
wife or husband or a child that their son or daughter or husband or wife
or father or mother won’t be coming home today. The flags at many
police stations were flown at half-mast today but most people won’t know
why. There will be a funeral and my fellow officers will come, a
twenty-one-gun salute will be given, and taps will be played as I am
laid to rest. My name will be put on a plaque, on a wall, in a building,
in a city somewhere. A folded flag will be placed on a mantel or a
bookcase in a home somewhere and a family will mourn.

There will be no cries for justice. There will be no riots in the streets.
There will be no officers marching, screaming “no justice, no peace.” No
citizens will scream that something must be done. No windows will be
smashed, no cars burned, no stones thrown, no names called. Only someone
crying themselves to sleep tonight will be the only sign that I was
cared about.
I was a police officer."

They defend us, we need to help defend them as well.

We have just finished our inspection tour of our first Texas hunting lodge. This is a 5-star class Exotic ranch. This is an Executive Level location with less than twenty hunters a year. Trail Escapes is the exclusive booking agent for them so call us for details. We also can host business groups for meetings and photo safaris as well.
