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

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.

 

5/10/13 Summer Food Plots

We finally got some summer food plots planted and as of this post we are getting a good soaking rain so I hope to update with some good looking plot pics in a few weeks.

We also cleared a spot to relocate a feeder and stand in the planted pines on the edge of the bottom.

Hogs are always tearing something up.  They got into a deer pen and knocked over one of the feeders.

Cow peas, sorghum, and brown top millet for the deer and dove.

Duck pond drawn down to let the smartweed and Jap millet grow for the ducks.

Deer Lease Crawfish Boil

We sighted in a couple new guns and then shot plates at the pistol range.

 

 

I grabbed my bow and tried to intercept a gobbler going to roost Friday night.  I had a hen at 13 yards and a young gobbler at 24 but the big boys came in from the opposite side and never gave me a chance.
