December came and went, as did January. It’s the 2nd week of February and I’m just not adding another blog entry.
In the two months since my last post not too much exciting has happened. Around Christmas my wife and I made a trip up to Oklahoma for Christmas with my dad’s side of the family. We stayed with my parents at their house up there and my dad and I did some duck and goose hunting. The duck hunting was awesome again and we managed to kill two limits of mallards the first morning we hunted. The geese were landing by the hundreds out on my dad’s wheat field and there were easily thousands feeding out there at one time. We made a couple attempts but never had any luck killing any. They seemed very spooked and skiddish about landing near our decoy spread around the strips of milo and hay bales. It was still a good time and a fun trip.
Obviously the Texas deer season is over and I didn’t get the big one I was after. Speaking of “the” big one, he’s dead. I found out that the big buck in my trail camera photos from the last two years was killed after Thanksgiving about ½ mile or so down the creek from us. He was killed by a guy who had permission to hunt a farmers cow pasture. From the story I heard the buck was chasing a doe and ran across the field at the wrong time. The taxidermist told a friend the buck scored over 150 B&C but that is all I really know. I’m sad to hear he was killed but at least I got to hear what happened to him and he didn’t just disappear to never be seen again. I can also sleep good at night knowing that he had several years to spread his genes down in that creek bottom.
Since Winter is rolling on by and Spring will be here before we know it, this will probably be the last Hunting Blog entry for a while. Normally by this time of year the “hunting bug” has passed through me and I won’t start dreaming about monster bucks again until about September or so. With that I close by saying, I hope you had a successful and enjoyable hunting season and I’ll be back with updates and new photos this coming fall.
