Hope you all had a good Christmas........Now lets hear from you.

Hello from McBean,

   Christmas has come and gone yet again and things will begin to settle down. Not sure if I will get to hunt much more this deer season, but I am planning some slam bang shootemup coyote hunts after the first of the year. I hunt with a guy who has permission to hunt the pastures and swamps around a working dairy farm and they see coyotes almost daily. I am looking forward to trying out a few different rounds including a .17 HMR (a bit light I think?) as well as the old trusted Mini 14 .223, and my favorite varmint gun, a NEF 45/70 with some hot loaded 350 gr. JSPs. Squirrell season is still in till the end of Feb. so I will be taking my son and the neighbor boy on some good hunts too. All in all my one deer season has been pretty good. Sure, I could have killed more, but sometimes being patient is not as productive as shooting everything you see. I am still waiting on that big Whompuss Buck that I have seen a few times, and may just catch him this afternoon.
   So, lets hear from you now. Hunting luck ? new acquisitions ? cool stories ? Come on Georgia folks, we wanna hear from ya ! Have a great day.

Not much to tell in the hunting catagory.It has rained so much and the deer are moving late in the evening. I went deer hunting Saturday evening and while I was sitting on the stand 2 catfish and a pond sucker swam by. All the water has changed their movement to different trails. Sure hope things change before the season ends.

Christmas was good, I like having the kids around almost as much as I like seeing them leave!   

Now I got to get ready for my traditional New Year's Day meal!  Collards & hog jowls, blackeyed peas & hog jowls, cornbread, Ham & lima beans, beer...

It's been about 6 weeks since I've been able to get out hunting.     The deer went nocternal after the first 2 weeks of the season!     My trail cam has been sitting out at the farm all this time; I'm sure the battery's long dead.

But I just got off the phone with my hunting partner and I'm going to head to so. Jawja about Jan 2 or 3 for a few days.  I plan on doing a bunch of huntin and shootin, but it's spose to be cold!  30's at night, 50's during the day!     Not fit wx for man nor beast!

All my kids came home this year, except for one son in law who just shipped out to the Middle East.  We've had 5 adults, 4 kids, and 5 dogs here for the last 3 weeks.  It's been pandelerium! 

Santa brought me one more gun.  He happened upon a 357 Handi with a broken stock, and it was promptly restocked with a Survivor set I had. 

Haven't hunted at all.  Helped a bit with the lease before the season, but then had shoulder surgery, and a heart attack during.

I did get some meat though, the fellows decided to "thin the herd" of does, and I got some meat.

Next year will be better.
