I'm not trying to be ....

other than what I been trying to be lately.
All I have to do is think of me,
and I have piece of mind .
I don't want to be anything other than me. :highfive
Went after a few bluegill as soon as the ice went away.
Nothing stellar , but ketched us a few decent ones .
We give and take on our rides out west to the family place in the country.
Stop here and there and barter off a few things and end up looking good in the grocery dept.
1st stop was a beef run , second stop was eggs ...and, we wasn't the ONLY ones looking for food either!
The deer were out in droves trying to get some caloric intake and the sandhills have begun to go back north .
Played around at our place and examined some tracks and our new fence along the north side of the place. One set of boar hog tracks looked darn deep in the sand for sure ! :yikes
The bluegill were parked on the bottom once again and it was rather chilly , tough to feel or get a bite ,but hey someone's gotta do it right ? :Rofl
KABOOM is the word for sure .....:cheers2
p.s. YES there was a little bacon in there with them rib eyes,roasts and hamburger too .... :Rofl

Good looking pans, supplies and the new fence looks good!

You got a nice family place there .
Good place to escape and relax .
Nice gills too !

if you know anything about tracking and tracks and many here do , the sand in this image is super saturated and even a truck don't leave much of a track in it. I think it might be the tank of a hog I saw a few weeks ago, on thing for sure positive, it will take a VERY well placed shot to bring down a hog the size of the one that made that track ...:yikes:highfive

the only issue with owning a place in the country is the fact that the work on it is never ending, it is a nice place to play, but it seems it is often times more work than play ....:Rofl

we are blessed for sure , but it comes along with the pass it around program , when we stopped for lunch at the local grocery store we saw a fella that had a walker and cart full of groceries, he was struggling to get them into his vehicle and I told the little as we approached we are going to load his groceries before we go inside .....:highfive
he of course asked if we were also going to follow him to his house and unload the groceries, but we gracefully declined the offer :Rofl
and it didn't end there , when we got our lunch from the deli inside and hit the check out line , the mom and daughter in front of us were having trouble checking out because the food stamp card wouldnt cover all the groceries ....
after watching them struggle a minute or so ,trying to figure out how to pay for the last half of the food items that appeared to be for children, I simply told the cashier I got it, just add it to my bill .... :highfive
life seems to give you back what you put into it , what goes around comes around and YOU DO REAP WHAT YOU SOW! :cheers2

Never hurts to give back for sure

we dropped food off to 2 different families, this weekend, several meals each in the form of fresh veggies and protein, we in turn got 2 different families giving us protein in return , isn't it cool how giving stuff away to others rewards you right back :highfive

yes that's how u do it Outlaw and teaching good life lessons to your daughter as well. I give away most of my ketch to folks I know could use some variety in their diet and just the enjoyment in their faces when you do is reward enough.

those words could be used in a song. Wait, they have been. Nice reference.

I’ve known you were a good man for a while now. Karma is always worth the investment and time spent. Glad you have a place to enjoy when time allows. Little will remember these things for a very long time. God Bless Brother.

Had a buddy that had a place right outside of Groesbeck TX. He raised cattle but the hogs gave in fits. Said I could hunt the place whenever I wanted but I was only allowed to use a rimfire rifle due to him having cattle on the property. I became a sniper with a 17 WSM in my hand. I had to pass up alot of shots because those critters don't like to stay still much. I learned that putting that tiny bullet in their ear hole meant DRT. He sold the place 7 years ago and I have not shot a hog since. It sure was fun while it lasted.

For the most part Texas landowners are real sticklers when allowing strangers to hunt their land. In most cases it either no or they will do it for a fee.
