Their little shanty town is right there at the junction of 765 and 4444, on the north side. They are building a ranch house on the south side, further back off the highway and behind a gated fence as breakin's happen all the time at the other place, as it's right off the highway. Buddy's family all live in Angelo. His step brother, who is out there all the time is a former Force Recon Marine and multiple Blackwater (and other) contractor. Talk about having someone to sit around the fire and tell stories with. Man. Dude, they're putting those windmills damned near right on top of em there. Of course, those also make good new shooting lanes, so....there's that. My friends' place is further north, just a coupla miles south of the south side of OH Ivie. Different country out there, but a lotta deer.

My friends' place is further north, just a couple miles south of the south side of OH Ivie. Different country out there, but a lotta deer. Tons of deer. I have a giant 10 on my wall taken off their place. We go back and forth between their place and mine outside Coleman. Big O's of course. Have you been into Coleman and gone to Rancho Pizzeria? Or their new steakhouse or wine bar? Family that owns are friends with the Goree family from MIdland (HUGE O&G family. Very well off). They are Dallas and used to work for Texas Monthly. It's as nice as any place I've ever been, and you have guys in suits next to guys in camo. They also have two vineyards so their selection is really nice. For the ladies, they have an amazing B&HB built on a vineyard. There's an old stone house out there they use to serve 5-course meals. It's a little gem in the middle of nowhere. I've surprised wife and buddies wife by taking them there and the guys heading down to the ranch. It's quite posh. Rancho B & B
January 30, 20214 yr Author Popular Post 9 man limit this morning by 8:00 to kick off the last weekend of the duck season. It was pretty fast and furious. Dog didn't know what to do with the birds falling as she was bringing them back to the blind. Then we finished off the morning with duck kabob tacos. Going after them again tomorrow with 5 guys and we left with birds still coming in so hopefully a repeat will happen.
January 30, 20214 yr How do you not have all of Lubbock flying over right now? Dad sent a pic from the house and visibility is probably 1/8 mile

January 31, 20214 yr Author And just like that the '20-'21 hunting season is done. Can I get MLD tags for ducks? Mallards are just starting to get here.It's been hell of a season with lots of great hunts and memories.

January 31, 20214 yr Steaks. They are delicious. We used to cut them into strips, like steak fingers at DQ, batter and chicken fry, dip in gravy. In college, that was a regular game-day setup when we were watching CFB on the all Saturday. Big platters of chicken fried crane strips, cold beer - folks loved em.

January 31, 20214 yr Popular Post Mercy kill on a very young axis. Came out and was visibly shaking. Started to walk towards the feed and fell over. Got back up and turned around. Missing a shoulder and who knows what else. Put her down. Walked up and she’s just skin and bones and whatever parasites were crawling out of the wound. Guess someone missed high. On a baby. She would try to lick her wound and fall over. She looked back in my direction and just had that look of pain. No more suffering for her.
February 1, 20214 yr Damnation. Tapatalk Quintuple post must be a record. We did limit out again this morning, let’s see if Tapatalk goes crazy again:

February 2, 20214 yr Lat and I had a friend who would do that kinda shit all the time. Not really a mixed metaphor, but one time, after much alcohol during a conversation we were having about what we'd do with lottery winnings he stated and I quote - "I'd buy an authentic Spanish Scallion and live on the sea!" He was dead serious.
February 2, 20214 yr Blind #7 down by the river. Super-thick Cambodia area. Lots of white brush and persimmon. The pigs love this spot. The blind is about 200 yards from an 80’ drop off into the river.

February 2, 20214 yr I always wanted to commission a Mexican artist to paint him on a velvet canvass sailing into the horizon on a giant onion, but then the Cartels ruined Nuevo Laredo for all of us.

February 3, 20214 yr Damn, y'all limited out 5x in one day? Sheeit, I need to look up what the possession daily is.Yeah yeah. I bought Tapatalk Pro or whatever it’s called to get rid of the ads; when Im posting pics now it gives me the higher res option ( which previously was “VIP only”) or whatever. So I figured I would give it a shot and select the higher res on the Crane pic. After I hit “post”, Tapa freezes with just a circular “loading” type of icon I’ve never seen before. I wait a minute or two, lose patience and put the phone down and go to sleep. I check things mid day the next day and apparently it went berserk trying to load.
February 4, 20214 yr We’ve got a few of these very light deer on our place. Nobody has let the air out of one because the Indian spirits may descend upon us and wreck our shit. Anyway, kinda interesting.
February 4, 20214 yr Something tells me if you kill one, you'd wake up the next day with your pud turned inside out and antlers growin out ya butthole.

February 6, 20214 yr Got tired of the dirt under our skinning rack so we built a better pad. Not perfectly level but it’ll do.
February 7, 20214 yr So, let's post our redneck blinds. Here's the blind we use at my FIL's place. He has like sixteen acres in a long rectangle shape, and probably two thirds is a wetland creek bottom (complete with overcup oak for the forestry nerds). Someone gave him this old trailer that had a bunk and stove in it. It's been a deer blind for a couple years now, but we just recently actually cleaned it out. Gotta paint the inside a darkish color so we don't outline ourselves with the big windows. We get pigs year round no matter how dry it is due to the spring fed slough on his property.
