I’m calling this post “Cheap Thrills”






Please pardon the old song reference.

To some degree, my musical tastes are stuck back yonder a ways.

Much of what passes for music these days don’t seem to interest me much.........

Had not seen the sun in about two weeks. Not cold, but just crappy weather. Cloudy and rainy for the last two weeks. On top of that I was sufferin’ from a severe case of SDD (shooting deficit disorder). Last time I went to my lease almost a month ago I ended up sleeping in in the mornings and eating and sitting around a campfire with my buds, rather than hunt. First time I’ve not hunted in 16 years of almost monthly trips. Turkey season opened last Saturday March 21, and since I’d not killed anything since my birthday December 21st, I was primed.

Anywho, why Cheap Thrills. Well it’s like this. I was in my favorite gunshop yesterday and was paying on a rifle I have in lay away. Guy was paying on a new Benelli shotgun he said was specifically for Turkey. It was a $2,000 gun. I showed him the pix of the two turkey I took last week-end. He mentioned he had a 500 Nitro in a Heym double rifle coming in next week and that he had safari’s booked with Ivan Carter for the next three years. Each in June. Gonna do plains game first year. Buffalo and leopard the second year and Lion and elephant the third year. I got to thinking, wow, that’s a lot of money he’s gonna be shelling out.

My latest trip to my lease cost less than $300 (I did not fill up my spincast feeders with corn). That’s for gas, groceries and beverage.

Don’t have to hire a guide, as its DIY.

Can sleep in if I want and not feel guilty.

Have plenty of space to roam, with nobody there but me.

Best of all, NO CELL SERVICE unless I go to the top one of a couple hills.


So rather than regale with a chronological dissertation. I’ll just post some timely pix.
