WINTER/SPRING 2014
Rancho Bernalejo
Hunting Resort & Spa
This fantastic trip started at the 2013 Sportsmen’s
Club of Fort Worth annual banquet when I was the
successful bidder on a whitetail hunt to Rancho
Bernalejo. As soon as I purchased this trip I was
approached by Dr. John Dedwylder “The Deer
Doctor” and he informed me that this resort was a
5 star resort with a selection of top class whitetails.
I informed my wife the next day of my purchase and
she was very apprehensive of my going to Mexico.
Together we did extensive research on the ranch and
also the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. In our research
we found that this was a very safe state and the
ranch over has over 13,000 acres with an elevation
of 7500 feet in the Sierra Madre Mountains. With
all this information on the ranch accommodations,
my wife wanted to go with me to the resort.
As we started the process of our trip, first we decided
on the date of October 10, 2013 which is early in
their season and should have the best pick of the
whitetails. Next we found that American Airlines
flew nonstop to Leon, Mexico airport which was
just 60 miles from the ranch. We were in touch
with the ranch host “Israel” which spoke enough
English to not have a communication problem. He
instructed me to not bring a rifle that they had a
very good selection to pick from and that he would
pick us up at the airport and drive us to the ranch.
Finally the day came and the flight was about 2-1/2
hours. Customs was very quick and easy. As we
(Continued on page 2)

(cont. from page 1)
were leaving the baggage area Israel greeted
us and escorted us to the F250 crew cab and
away we went to the ranch. The spectacular
entrance to the ranch has a person to operate
the gates as we approached which gave us a
more secure feeling. After a 15 minute drive
and seeing multiple good whitetails and mule
deer we arrived at the lodge. John was right,
our accommodations, 3 course meals and the
staff made us feel like we were very important.
I chose a Kimber 325 short mag with a Zeiss
scope and away we went to the shooting range
which had targets set up to 500 yards. My
first 3 shots at 300 yards were dead on, so
I was comfortable with the rifle. The hunting
vehicles were Polaris rangers and the blinds
were all excellent in keeping you warm, dry,
comfortable swivel chairs and blocked the
bugs. Each days hunt, we saw numerous
whitetails with varying sizes of horns. On the
third day I finally saw the one that I wanted and
the 223 yard shot was perfect and my trophy
was harvested. By the end of our trip my wife
had friended every staff member and the chef
had given her tips on some of his dishes that
he made. She enjoyed all the spa amenities
and relaxing out by the fountains while I was
hunting. This was a wonderful trip to a beautiful
resort for both my wife and I and we will return!
Grady Kane
Big Brothers/
Big Sisters
Colton Henderson from North Richland Hills,
Texas, a 17-year old Junior at L.D. Bell High
School, shares his hunting experiences. He
is one of several recipients of scholarships to
attend YO Ranch hunting camp sponsored
by the Sportsmen’s Club of Fort Worth.
What do you love about hunting?
Colton: “It gives me opportunities to go see
different places and just be out in nature.” It’s
given him the opportunity to get out of the city,
where he’s lived all his life, and be outdoors,
including West Texas, South Texas, and Kansas.
How did you get into hunting?
Colton: “Through Big Brothers/Big Sisters. It
started with shooting shotguns at Nature
Day(in March 2009) and all went uphill
from there.” Since then he’s hunted duck,
dove, deer, and hogs on Big Brothers/Big
Sisters hunts, and ram and pheasant on
other hunts he did with his big brother.
What did you learn your first year
at the YO Ranch hunting camp?
Colton: “Learning to stalk an animal. I didn’t
know how much went into it until my first
year at camp.” Prior to that all of his bigger
hunts have involved watching a feeder.
How was year two different
from year one?
Colton: “I was more experienced and more
confident in what I was doing”. His first year
of camp he only had about a year of hunting
experience. By his second year he had another
full year and the confidence of the year before
to build on. My first year the first time I went
hunting I was able to get a Ram…it didn’t
take much. But my second year came around
and the axis hunts were a lot more difficult. It
took my whole time there. I had to stay an
extra day to get me Axis. It was a long hunt,
but well worth it. I think it’s more of a trophy
when you have to put in a lot of work for it.”
(continued on page 3)
p. 2
Colton Henderson with
his Big Brother Mentor
What are your goals moving forward?
Colton: “I enjoy being a hunting guide for
the ranch and for the kids. To be a guide
in Africa would be nice. I would like to go
back as a camp counselor again and while
I’m in college I’d like to guide hunts(on the
weekends) for the Y.O. Ranch or any other
ranch that would give me an opportunity”.
How did it feel to go from being a
camper or someone who is getting
taken on a lot of hunts to being a guide
and being responsible for someone
else having a successful hunt?
Colton: “It was a very different point of
view. When I was a camper I looked at the
guide as someone to look up to and listen to.
When I was the guide (or counselor), I had
to be the person to answer (the campers)
questions and had to look after them.”
What’s your favorite hunting story?
Colton: “At camp this summer, we had a 9 year
old girl named Layla who had never shot a gun
before. I taught her with a .22 and then took
her out on a ram hunt with my .270. When we
saw the ram, I had her line up on it a couple
times to practice, made sure she didn’t have
scope shadow and stuff. When she pulled that
trigger I was so surprised to see the ram just
drop and she was in shock. It was great.”
How do you compare a successful
hunt for you with guiding a
hunt for someone else?
Colton: “I think it’s more of a success if you
get someone else that trophy. (On your own)
you have to go through it and do everything
correct. But getting someone else to be
successful is more challenging because you
can’t do it for them.” He emphasized that
even if everything is set up perfect, there is
Talk about hunting successes and failures. still that variable of the hunter missing that
is beyond his control. “But if you can get
Colton: “Some of my first hunts I didn’t see
someone else to go through it and actually do
much. After hunting for a while I realized that
what you’ve done…it’s a very good feeling.”
being out there was more important than just
shooting animals. Someone once told me
What have you learned on a hunt or in a
that ‘any day that you’re outdoors with a gun
blind that you didn’t just know before?
in your hand is a good day’. A wise man.”
“Patience…patience pays off. And dress in layers.”
Big hunting plans for the future?
After high school graduation, he and
his big brother are planning on going on a Black Bear hunt.
Why is it important for kids
today to get into nature?
Colton: “The experiences you can get from
hunting. Stories you can tell forever.” He was
asked about how many kids just want to play
video games, be on the computer, or watch TV.
“I’d rather be outside in nature than inside playing
video games any day, but that’s my personality.”
Do you think hunting is therapeutic?
“Hunting is just peaceful in general There’s
nothing you have to worry about besides…
nothing, really.”
What traits do you
develop hunting?
“Responsibility,
preparation, confidence…
and how to get
up really early”

The following are letters from a few of the organizations that we have
been able to provide financial support as a result of your generosity.
Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation
On behalf of Texas Parks and Wildlife
Foundation (TPWF) and Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department (TPWD), thank you for
your support during the past sixteen years.
TPWF is the non-profit funding partner of
TPWD. For the past twenty-two years, we have
provided private support to TPWD to manage
and conserve the natural and cultural resources
of Texas and to provide hunting, fishing and
outdoor recreation opportunities for the use and
enjoyment of present and future generations.
The Sportsmen’s Club of Fort Worth (SCFW)
has been a wonderful partner to TPWD’s
Neighborhood Fishin’ Program - a statewide
program that provides year-round recreational
fishing in urban lakes for local residents. With
SCFW’s support, the Neighborhood Fishin’ lakes
at Hurst Chisholm Park and Greenbriar Park
in Tarrant County are two of the best lakes in
the entire program. During 2012, approximately
16,000 anglers spent more than 55,000 hours
fishing at these lakes, and more than 40% of these
anglers were either youth or new to fishing. A
total of 11,076 channel catfish and 3,792 rainbow
trout were stocked last year in these two lakes.
The program strives to create quality outdoor
experiences for youth and families in local public
parks; provide opportunities to develop an
p. 4
appreciation and love for fishing; and cultivate an
understanding of how humans, wildlife and the
natural world are connected. There are currently
fifteen program lakes in the state with more than
80,000 people participating in the program each
year. Of these, more than 65 percent live within
five miles of the lake and more than 50 percent tell
TPWD these lakes are the only place they fish.
Neighborhood Fishin’ lakes are managed as
“put-and-take” fisheries, and children under 17
are not required to have a fishing license. Every
two weeks, TPWD stocks fish big enough to
catch and keep, and the fish are available for
harvest as soon as they land in the water. TPWD
encourages other organizations and volunteers
to utilize the lakes and conduct fishing clinics
for youth and families, promote the program in
the community, and provide aquatic education.
Philanthropic partners like you are helping us
offer individuals, families and communities
in Tarrant County access to quality outdoor
recreation. Thank for believing in our efforts.
Anne Brown
Executive Director
Texas Parks & Wildlife Foundation
Operation Orphans
We would like to thank the
SCFW for their wonderful
support again this year.
Without the help of you
folks and others like you we
wouldn’t be able to continue to
work with the youth from the
youth homes and foster care.
You folks play a lead role in
helping us provide for them.
We have been blessed each
year by the contributions that
you have made to benefit the
youth at these facilities. So
far this year we have had two
fishing camps and three hunts
with the children. We had
69 boys and girls participate
in the fishing camps. They
helped drown 1000 worms.
We have had 110 boys
and girls participate in the
hunting program so far. They
harvested 108 animals. Our
biggest hunt is scheduled for
January 11th there is openings
for 72 children at this hunt.
With the totals so far and the
scheduled hunt in January we
should have completed our
physical year with 251 children
enjoying the outdoors with
the help of your wonderful
organization and many others.
Your donations helped us,
finally after 53 years, revitalize
our game pasture by getting
a dozer to come in establish
new roads and open up some
of the old ones. Clear cut the
perimeter for fire protection
and open up senderas for
new browse. With your help,
we were able to obtain feed
to keep the animals alive
during the drought and for the
upcoming winter. We were
able to get two cases of shells
for the riles that we have in our
compound. We also received a
gun sighting device (Caldwell
lead sled) to hold our guns in
place while we sighted them
in annually (45) guns. We also
received 12 more needed
Zebco combination rod and
reels for fish camp. We
received, I believe, 85 beetle
spin lures for the kids to use.
I can’t begin to thank you
enough on behalf of Operation
Orphans. We survive each
year because of wonderful
people like you at SCFW.
Our motto is:
NO ONE STANDS SO TALL
AS WHEN THEY STOOP
TO HELP A CHILD.
You folks can definitely stand
tall for all you do for Operation
Orphans and all of the other
establishments that you help.
God bless each and every
one of you and sincere thanks
for your continued support.
Jim Pond,
President
Operation Orphans

Frontier Camp
Thank you for your generous help in providing
hope to children of prisoners. We served 138
campers this past week and they all had a week
of unconditional love in the great outdoors.
We believe so. I know you do too and I want to
thank you for your support of the special week
encouraging hope. Here are some other remarks
from the campers after their week of camp:
These campers are constantly subjected to
the belief that the outdoors are scary and
that guns are to be used for violence only.
“This camp is so fun. I get to interact with
more people and become closer to God. No
one judges you here and that is good. “
You all have once again helped to show
many Tar-rant County children and teens that
there is anoth-er way. The outdoors are to be
enjoyed and firearms and archery equipment
are truly sports and can build self-esteem.
“Thank you for helping me come to this wonderful
camp. My favorite activity is archery!”
Thank you once again for your partnership in
reaching out to these special campers and
giving them a great outdoors experience.
THANK YOU
The Power of Camp
“Fatherless. Lives with Grandmother.
Says his mom doesn’t love him.”
“Lives an unsupervised and wild life.”
“Dad is in prison. His mom left him
in 2012. He is very sad.”
The remarks above were taken from the
evaluation cards that our counselors fill out on
every camper. Heartbreaking. Can a week at
camp help kids and teens in these situations?

“I gave up football practice to come to camp.
This is my 4th year. My counselor is so cool!”
Matt Raines,
Executive Director
Frontier Camp
Young Life
As this year comes to a close, I wanted to extend our sincere appreciation
and gratitude to you and your organization. Your continuous participation
and support in our annual Kids Sporting Clay Shoot in August has been
a wonderful asset. Your support has enabled Young Life to expose Junior
and Senior High students to shooting sporting clays, an experience that
most of the young people would not otherwise be exposed to. Over 70%
of the youth who attend the event, have never shot a shotgun before
and a great majority of the group have never set foot on a ranch.
We have had a steady increase in participation over the past few years
and we attribute much of that to your continued support and the work of
so many volunteers who help put on a great event. In 2013, over 230 kids
attended the youth event. Your donation helps us reach more youth in our
city and we hope to continue to grow the event and expose more each year.
Thank you again for your continued participation in this event. We are
thankful for each of you and the role you play in our organization.
Sincerely,
Larry Tatum
Young Life Sporting Clay Chairman
