In honor of Giddings, I figured I would take a shot at this.

South central Texas. 48 degrees. Hum of the interstate in the background. Full moon is full. The lights of the used to be small burg are getting way too bright.

Buddy invited me to hunt at his place. I don't expect to see much as warm as it is and we have really seen a killing frost.

Doesn't matter much if I kill anything anymore. Just love being out in the semi-wild.

And no, that is not the sunrise, it is the moon set.

Good luck, op.

In the blind. Refugio county.

Couple of owls calling.

Just heard the first mockingbird waking up.

I always enjoy ALL of God's creatures.

First good light.

A~ 3-1/2 year old 8+pt buck 25 yds. ~ 15-16 spread. Typical smaller just bigger than pencil horns. Typical for this area. Low fence, no protein and only corn during the fall at this place.



He's watching me watch him. And the anothe I didn't see because he was behind the corner of the blind. They'll get a pass until at least next year.

10 pt back with his doe.

We may be having a show down soon!

Well, no shots fired, nothing on the ground. Just another pleasant day watching nature come to life.

Most importantly, no crocs in the stand.
Just kidding Giddings. We have too many grassburrs, mesquites annd tosajiila around here to do that.

I pray you all get to make more time in the outdoors enjoying the things God gave us.

Best wishes for a wonderful new year.
