Went to my deer lease last Thursday. Got back a couple hours ago. First shower in 4 days. Felt good.
It�s rained so much and everything is so green, plus a bumper crop of acorns. Deer don�t even have to move. Just lay down in an oak mott and reach over and eat their fill.

Sat out morning and evening since Thursday only saw three deer, a doe and twin yearlings @ 250 yds or so.

Did get the chance to blood the 243 Win. on a hoglet. Perfect size �eater� for smoking whole.

Had a picture of this ol boy on the game cam.

Makes me think my decision to quit going after wounded hoglets in a ceder thicket, crawling on my hands and knees with a flashlight in one hand and a pistol in the other after fifty years of shooting and tracking might be a good decision. One of these days, my luck might just run out.

Got a chance to practice my �blurritude� with the phone on my camera this AM. Beautiful hill country sunrise�..

Sure do enjoy being �up top� and watching the birth of a new day.

Opening weekend of rifle season is only two weeks away, but I�m ready to go back tomorrow.

Best,
GWB
