The Cast
Bonnie McFerrin
Bonnie McFerrin resides in Kingwood, Texas with her husband Mike and their three children, Christian, MaKenna and Georgia-Kate. Raised in the great state of Texas, Bonnie was aware of the sport of hunting as her father and grandparents enjoyed dove, quail and whitetail hunting. However, she never experienced hunting personally in her youth. Bonnie and Mike married in1994 and while she knew about his love of the outdoors, she never intended to hunt for herself. After years of watching how passionate Mike was about the sport of hunting she decided to give whitetail deer hunting a try. Now, fifteen years into a marriage and three children later, Bonnie enjoys hunting with Mike and as well as on her own. Bonnie and Mike have hunted all over the country and for over a decade have hunted South Texas. For the past eight years they have leased 9,000 free-ranging acres in South Texas for the sole purpose of growing giant whitetail.Over the last nine years Bonnie has harvested several Pope & Young bucks, including the current Texas state record for a female archer, which scored 195 5/8 taken in 2008. Other harvests include bull elk, a nilgai bull and an antelope. Bonnie graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas in 1993 with a B.S. degree in Literary Studies. Prior to being a full-time stay at home mom, Bonnie taught ninth grade in the public school system. The joy and fulfillment she receives from spending time in the outdoors is a rewarding break from her fast-paced day to day routine.
