Pics near my huntin' spot

Bow season opens here on Saturday 9/27. I am stoked. Look at what these wild hogs are doing to the ground around one of my feeders. This was flat dirt two weeks ago, now it looks like someone ran a tiller through it. Close to time for a Texas BBQ !!

First Teal Hunt

The one highlight of the downtime during the storm is that I went on my first Teal Hunt ever. The day started about 0530 getting in the ground level blind, at first light the Teal start dive bombing the decoys. Teal fly as fast as doves, maybe faster. Anyone who has hunted them will know this. The action is fast and furious, the limit is four per person. Daylight came at 6:10am and we had a limit by 6:25am.

Can be very addicting....

Hurricane Ike

Well we stayed and it was rough. The winds starting coming around 6pm on Friday, they got really hard around midnight, maybe 80 to 100 mph. The gust were the worst, it felt like the windows were going to blow in even though we boarded up.

We stayed during Ivan in Florida, he blew hard like this but not for as long. At noon the next day we were still getting 70 mph gust. I will add more pics later, for now we have to rebuild the fence and replace some facia board.

The baby squirrel was found in our backyard. Cheryl is trying to nurse him along.

More pics from the Safari.....

The middle picture is a baby Llama that they told us was born the day we were there. It was very small and wobbly but the kids loved it !

San Antonio Visit

We went to visit Chip and Jackie while we awaited Gustav (which did not even rain on us) although they called for a 3-county mandatory evacuation where we live. Anywho, we had a really good visit. Cheryl, the kids and I had a great visit with Chip and Jackie. We visited the Natural Bridge Safari. A drive through safari where we saw all types of exotic game animals. Many of them will come to the car and eat from your hand.
