I

thank God for giving me bowhunting family members who enjoy our time in the wild together. I am Xtremely lucky and blessed. I love them Xtremely.

With a teenage son in high school and obsessed with his academic and basketball responsibilities, my beloved soulmate Shemane finds herself tied up more often than not being the world's greatest mom. She is an Xtremely dedicated mother. Producing our award-winning "Spirit of the Wild" TV show and her own brilliant Queen of the Forest episodes, along with nonstop charity and community work, this amazing woman still manages to camo up and hit the woods with her loving husband often enough. I love her Xtremely.

Stephanie and Ted

Shemane is the ultimate wife and mother, but I must admit that there is nothing more beautiful or sexy than this skinny, sultry, gorgeous blonde-bomber bowhuntin' babe dressed head to toe in Mossy Oak camo.

Drives me wild. I am Xtremely moved. Those who see her incredible bowhunting skills on TV know that Shemane has taken to this like a fish to water. Her calm, disciplined approach to the mystical flight of the arrow has done wonders for my own archery control.?

One fine, sunny, blue-sky December day in the stunning Hill Country of Texas had us setting up our Double Bull groundblind at the famed YO Ranch — a vast rolling prairie of swaying golden grasses, punctuated with scattered clumps of shin oak and cactus.

It was saturated with exciting deersign: Rutted trails criss-crossed in and out of the small motts of live oak trees. Every small tree and sapling had bare, shiny buckrubs on them. Numerous patches of destroyed earth had been torn up by pawing, scraping, rutting whitetails gone mad.

Deer are Xtremists. They move me Xtremely.

Master guide and outfitter Derek Derringer of Ingram, Texas' famed Woodbury Taxidermy fame had directed us into this magic wildground. Within minutes of Derek's departure after setting us up, whitetail does and yearlings began filtering from the scrub, headed our way.

As a handsome 10-point trophy buck nudged other deer out of his way,

Shemane performed her Xtreme archery ballet, coming to fulldraw gracefully without disturbing any of the deer before us.
