The six graduate students of the MAESTRO Team were invited to join Dr. Hartl at his father’s deer lease for a weekend of “Texas Immersion.” Students from Florida, Alaska, and Brazil joined three other Texas students for a day and two nights of four-wheeler riding, target practice, wildlife watching, and camaraderie. Pedro Leal was the champion of the 22 caliber target practice competition, having beaten Dr. Hartl by one point. Not bad for a first-time marksman!
Masters student Ryan Patterson goes for a four-point shot (tiny target) during the 22 caliber shooting competition.
