Wimberley Xmas and MLK Ducks

I headed to Wimberley Christmas Day. We had a fair hunt but great time with lots of target practice!

Smoked a jake on the way in to the last afternoon hunt. Got thunder-stormed out of the stand later that afternoon. 

I wonder what this guy's been eating???

Back home on MLK. Quick hunt on the duck pond. ETEX Limit - 3 Spoonies, 2 Teal, 1 Ninja.

SP - LCO

What do you do when half your ground in underwater and there's a beaver lodge in your duck blind...go to Sand Pond with the kids for a weekend...

Yup, still raining.

At least there's some specialty beer to drink...

Breakfast at camp since someone left the stove and propane in the Rhino...

Jetter and Baker boys picking ducks.

Setting beaver traps.

Best meat pie and yoohoo anywhere!

Water, water, everywhere...

Two major storms plus continued rains have flooded everything...

And big trees are down all over.

It's been so wet, seed is sprouting on the head...

Oops! I didn't get pics but this skidder had water in the cab later in the year!

I've seen a few but never killed. This year that changed! Yes I'm in my dress clothes after work on a Friday afternoon but you do what you've got to do!

I really wanted a rug but the 300 SAUM wasn't nice...

Luke loved it of course.

Opening Weekend Sand Pond

So far this season this is my only kill without a firearm...

I stopped by SP on my way back from a business trip to SA and had a great time watching Dan drop this doe.

Dan and I killed more than the doe!

Sam and Zeb smoked this hog too!

Back at our place there are some good deer sneaking around...

Rainy Hunting Season

This year has been the wettest year ever...At least the boys are starting to get into hunting!

Luke getting a drink.

The duck pond is full and the fence and culverts holding their own.

Fighting debris and beavers are a constant battle.

Can't forget about bilge pumping the boat every week!

And catching a few bass while the water pumps out. Yes you can see it's still raining...

At least the rain makes it easier to wash 08K.
