YETI Presents: Chasing Light

Wildlife photographer Wyman Meinzer is, more than anything else, a Texan. After years as a hunter, trapper & marksman, this outdoor pioneer traded in his rifle to stare down the barrel of a zoom lens.

In this YETI Presents video, wildlife photographer Wyman Meinzer shares stories of his passion for the outdoors from his time as an avid outdoorsman in the Texas Badlands. Laying down his rifle in favor of a digital camera, he is now the official photographer for the Lone Star State and a Texas wildlife conservationist. Wyman captures the dig-your-heels-in determination and appreciation for the land that can only be found in those that call Texas home.

Hey guys, if you can pull it off, go for it. I started as a very young man and at a time when this could particular lifestyle was possible. Just grabbed the chance and ran with it.

I don't know who produces these videos but they need a raise. Excellent job.

[@UCTJ]

I really enjoy the videos that Yeti has presented/ produced but, this is my absolute favorite one.

[@MrSocman]

I was a Range & Wildlife classmate of Wyman's in the '70's, and one of my biggest regrets is not ever getting to know him, or even speak to him (that I remember). Much respect. Guns up!

[@wymanmeinzer3647]

Hey fellow Raider. Wish we could have met. I still keep up with a lot of my buddies from those years. That was a long time ago. Have a great week!

[@JumpingWatermelons]

These videos on YETI are all freaking incredible!

Great job Wyman. I've always admire your work.

hes shooting with a camera now, amazing

[@MrLikeke]

I used to hunt deer and elk and cat. Now I just track them.. It sort of opened a new world.

[@wymanmeinzer3647]

When one spends a virtual lifetime hunting, it is refreshing to watch an animal through a lens instead of in the crosshairs of a scope all the time.

[@MR_JERWHITE]

This is amazing!! Who directed this?

so yeti is a media company too? in all seriousness, great job

[@mccraestephens367]

What brand of boots is he wearing?

[@pepperoutfitters4086]

I believe they are Russell’s.

[@grafforbust]

I don't think they're Russell's.. I've been trying to find em but I haven't had any luck.

[@pepperoutfitters4086]

He had posted about them on his Facebook one day.. sayin that Russel custom made them for him. They have a variant that is similar. But they are indeed Custom, Russell’s built specifically for Wyman.

[@grafforbust]

Ah, thanks a bunch for the info. It's greatly appreciated.

[@craiglovelace1753]

W.C. Russell’s moccasins. They are launching the Wyman boot on the website soon. I have 3 pairs of Russell’s, best boots I’ve owned by far.

[@GiraffeEatsWindmills]

what song is at the end of the video?

[@yeticoolers]

Broken Cowboy by Jesse Woods

[@mtadams2009]

Does anyone know where in Texas this is? My wife is from Dallas and when we back to see her family I always talk about going hiking and camping there. I want to take her brother in law to Bend National Park and get him out of the city. and people say its to far away from Dallas but I don't really care, we could fly if need be. I too love the open land.

[@cameraman655]

Big Bend is one of the most remote US National Parks, located in Southwest Texas, on the US/Mexico Border. It is also one of the least visited and my personal favorite. Be warned, the Summers are brutal out there and there is very little civilization around (which is why it is so appealing). The closest commercial airports are in Midland/Odessa (3-hour drive) and El Paso (4-hour drive)

Amazing legacy, but built on death and exploitation of the coyote., now realizing and photographing them, but so much blood on his hands.....

Thank you Tommy. I had the passion and was young enough to run with it. I wish more people would take the initiative to do the same in their lives. I don't regret a moment of it.
