Hill Country Feeder Fillin'

I headed South for the weekend to meet up with the guys and fill feeders, check batteries, etc.

 

 

6 tons on day 1.

 

 

Fix the tree.

 

Yup we had a campfire in July!

The boys.

We spent a couple hours on the lake cooling off.

4 more tons on day 2.

Big dinner Saturday night!  (Steaks, stuffed mushrooms and jalapenos, grilled veggies, and ribs)

 

Brisket for lunch.

Another awesome hill country sunset!

 

Duck Pond Progress

Finally broke ground on the project.  First order of business is getting the water drained.

 

Three more porkers down!

4th of July!

 

Dug another trench to keep draining and it will be the install location for the riser board control.

 

 

 

Some water left before the real dirt work can begin.

The hay got cut and bailed just before we are expecting some rain.

 

I put out a time lapse camera on the high line pea patch.

 

Jake helped me build a blind platform.

 

 

 

My brother came through town and I set him up for the 1st kill with the new pig thumper!

Father's Day Weekend!

Started off the weekend by picking up some stop log water control structures on the way back from business in Houston.

Friday afternoon we dropped off the risers, planned the project and had a beverage.

 

Steaks for dinner

Barry providing some entertainment

Caught a few small bass after breakfast

Saturday was a work day on feeders, fence, guns, and jerky.

 

 

You know you're doing it right when you draw blood...

 

The food plots are looking great!

 

Here are some pics from a new camera I'm trying.

 

 

A few hogs!

 

 

I smoked a couple pork butts for lunch and dinner.

I got the new hog killer (Savage Model 11 in 308 - Leupold VXR Scope) sighted in before dark.

Made jerky all evening - Goose, Duck, and Deer.

My boys came up Sunday morning and played all day.

Sitting with PaPa.

Getting their guns on target.

They were both out before I got off the gravel road and onto the highway to head home!

Finished the weekend with some apple pie moonshine from my neighbor.
