Farming/ranching can be brutal at times. My middle son was out checking cows on the 4-wheeler a few years ago and hit a washout. Stuck his bone out of his arm. Took a 9" stainless plate and a whole bunch of screws to put it back together. Lost a lot of skin off the left side of his face too. He was a sore boy for a couple weeks.

Great pic deserves a place on the wall. I went out in the lakehouse yard a few days ago and found something ive never seen before. A turtlle making a hole to drop its eggs in. It got dropped in the trash can and dropped out in the edge of Burnet when i went to town.

Fishing and hunting buddies don’t get better than that FBF. 👍🏼
Great pictures guys.
Jag, That “nose gar” looks similar to a ribbonfish I caught once trolling down in Mexico but I don’t recall that “gar shaped nose”. A lot of different fish are called ribbonfish with a type of ribbonfish even found up here, although I’ve yet to see one.

They look like they would be excellent shark bait.

It was a 12.7 mm. Fella that won that prize was our platoon leader, Cpt. John Sensing. Rooting around in the A Shau Valley and won the lottery. He had some serious vibrations as a result of the blade having been inflated a fair bit. Too, it was chirping like a parrot and we were scratching our noggins at Camp Eagle when he was 10 miles out. This occurred in April ‘70, just a few days before I went home. He and his gunner, SP4 Statton were killed a few weeks later during the battle at FSB Ripcord. My dad was on Ripcord. Got shot a few weeks before his tour was up. Charlie 2/506 was under 30 men after Hill 1000.
