Sneak Lights

Installed some green LEDs to add a little more stealth (and they look mean)!

 

 Here's a video from a slow hunt last year.  I hope to do more taping this year if we get water and ducks.

Waiting on Water

The beaver pond is full of smartweed and the blind is brushed in.  We just need some water to fill it up for the ducks.

 

The Grey Ghost should be sitting in at least 10 inches of water here!

We have had some rain the past few weeks and the oats have germinated and are growing.

 

 

 

Bow Opener

I stayed and hunted in East Texas instead of heading South.  It worked out pretty well since it has been raining steady since early Saturday morning across the whole state.  I sat in a tree in a bottom full of white oak trees dropping acorns but didn't see anything but squirrels all morning.  Elan sat in the double ladder overlooking the highline and creek.  He saw some pigs, a doe and a small buck but nothing died.  We both sat over a feeder the night before and he killed a 124 lb sow.

 

The guys got the last of the hay baled just in time!

 

 

 

Elan's pig and sporting an LCO shirt for the good luck.  You can also spot the expert shot placement!

 

 

Dinner

 

 

We sat in a box blind for the afternoon hunt but just watched it rain.

 

 

ANEIET Dove Hunt

Birds disappeared overnight but we still had some fun and almost made it through the weekend without messing anything up...almost!

 

 

 Planted some oats

 

 Pulled pork from Dubya's Smokehouse

 

 The grey ghost decided to give this tree a love tap!

 

 

The tree won the battle...

 

 

 but lost the war!

 

 

Saturday In The Life

Filling feeders, checking cameras, clearing roads, catching fish...

The beaver pond is almost dry but has lots of food growing for the ducks.  Pipes get shut this weekend so hopefully we will get some rain and fill it up!

Constantly cutting dead trees that have fallen across the forest roads.

 Lots of dove hanging around...You can see more on the road if you look closely

Doe on camera's - Not a single buck yet but they will be around later

Big Boar - Look at the shoulders on that guy!
