Before the Stories Are Lost

Narrado por: Patrick D. Lane

The only way I know how to tell a story is to start at the beginning. My story begins in the eighteenth century, when South Texas was first settled by civilized people and when the big ranches came into being. History has been sanitized, but I am not dead yet. I have the verbal history to share, along with some of the greatest Texas hunting stories ever told. This true story takes you back to a time when outlaw hunting on the King Ranch was nothing more than a game. Jumping the fence was a way of life. I will share how I got to play the game for a decade, following in the footsteps of adventurous men who have been doing it since 1910.

Great Listen

A fascinating look into a world few ever discover. The history of S Texas land and the stories of outlaw hunting were very entertaining. Pat narrates it himself, which makes the listen 100x better. I’m always disappointed when the author doesn’t narrate the audio book.

Incredible!! 5 stars ain't enough

I ran through this thing like a Texas brushfire. Could not stop it! Already bought the book and getting extras for friends. Every bit as good as The Prince of Poachers

Awesome!!!

Loved the stories and the History!!! Wish he would write another book!! Makes me want to hunt in Texas.

Great stories!

Two things to understand, 1) Different time in history 2) The lifestyles of people in those times definitely don't reflect how people behave today. With that said, it's understood how the authors life is pinnacle to grasping all of the activities laid out in this book. Personally growing up in the 90s in Central Valley CA, we actually did very similar activities that would land us in jail today. That being said, I believe with all my heart that this is a fantastic journey through this man's life of whom I would say we are kindred spirits. I laughed, I stood in awe and I reflected on my life during the book and can honestly say that it's as American as it gets. Tough gritty and just gnarly

Good stories

Loved it it’s just good stories about a different time that few will understand and even less will respect
