"Ain't Nothing Easy in East Texas" Dove Hunt

Had a great time and even had a pretty good dove hunt for around here.  We killed 26 birds Saturday morning, 21 Saturday evening, and got rained out Sunday morning.  No hogs but there was a buzzard killed with a head shot at about 200 yards, a "long-tailed" bob cat, and coyote.  The weekend lived up to its name as well.


Snapped axle shaft on Elan's Jeep. Also not seen is a broken throttle cable on the green machine.








Fires

As anyone in Texas knows, there have been many wildfires and we finally had one on our place that burned up some 5 and 10 year old pine plantation.  County and state firefighters and the Texas Forest Service were on hand to put it out and provide support.




 We only lost some pine trees but we had a couple neighbors lose their homes.  All that remains of this one are the concrete front steps.
