Texas weather

1 week since I shot my big buck and I'm back on the stand. It's amazing how the weather changes during this time of year. Last week it was close to 32 degrees and this week we are in the mid 50's at sun rise.

I've heard less shooting today and haven't seen anything yet except a squirrel. There's a cow off in the distance who keeps calling for her calf. It sounds like she's getting a little annoyed.

tread lightly

I was reminded of this saying this morning on my way to the deer stand. I was just 50 feet away from the stand which I stepped on a small stick.
CRACK!
Then I hear the sound of a spooked deer to my right. Judging from the deep sound of the thumps as it's hoofs hit the ground it was a heavy deer.
Lucky for me I'll probably see the deer later this morning as the deer tend to stay in general area .
Remember tread lightly.

brrrrr it's cold
it's the 3rd weekend of deer season and this morning started off cold. I drove up instead of coming up last night. I got delayed at the camphouse but got out on the stand @ 6:10. Brrrr it's cold. The moon was just a sliver last nice so I expected to see deer pretty soon after sun up.
So far nothing.....

Ok it's 9am and a doe finally shows up to check out my feeder. She's small and seems nervous.

Oh shit I have to put the phone down I hear a buck....

Nice! It's a 9 point with thick horns. Aim, squeeze, FLLINCH! Reload, fire, MISS? Reload, breathe... He's walkin right towards me with a limp on the rear leg. Breathe...wait for a broadside shoot. No neck shot here... Aim, squeeze, drop.

No more ammo so I load 3 more shells into the gun. It's cold enough he can sit for a bit, who knows there might be a bigger one in a bit.

First day back

OMG, I'm quickly reminded of what I dislike about taking vacations, the first day back. Found out I gained 10 pounds from my poor food choices and complete lack of exercise. Work is pyling up already. And people just drive too darn aggressively, I don't think I actually made it back to the house yesterday before I was ready to kill another driver.

I'm a statistic

According to this article I'm one of 100,000 new bloggers starting a new blog every day.

well there's no list of current posts for editting but they do seem to be working on the app which is more than I can say for a few other options out there

8 well actually this is my second post but my first is stuck on my Treo.

So after living with my Treo as my primary source of Interent connectivity for almost 2 weeks I thought I'd try blogging.
