PART 3. THE FALL. In a single, recent American generation, Coastal Texas snow goose hunting went from boom to bust--from a fabled hunting experience that drew hunters from around the world to a soon-to-be storied history book chapter. This 3-part series explores the rise and fall of snow goose hunting on the Katy Prairie--its boom, culture, decline, and lasting legacy. Legendary Texas outfitter Larry Gore--whose high school project became a half-century guiding career-- his son Isaac, to whom he's passed the torch, and Texas waterfowl historian Rob Sawyer, paint a colorful picture that some may remember, but that is forever gone. In this episode: cracks in the Katy Prairie goose dynasty, loss of rice culture, the last "great season," conservation order snow goose hunting, policy and cultural shifts, pre- and post-conservation order snow goose hunting, what's the conservation order represent and did it work, thoughts on Texas closing the conservation order, what do snow goose mean after 50+ years of hunting, carrying on family legacy in a changed world, the spirit of Texas Gulf Coastal snow goose hunting, how will it--and the people that comprised Texas snow goose hunting culture--be remembered?
