Limited on Friday. Great evening hunt.
Saturday morning the birds were going the opposite direction, but still thick enough for several to get limits in a few hours. |

Rabbits and rats lead the game count around here... Living on the farm, letting the two Killers out in the morning and watching the rat hunts are funny as all get out. They catch several every day. Quote HistoryQuoted:

We saw about forty hogs this morning, two deer, and more jackrabbits than I can count Rabbits and rats lead the game count around here... Living on the farm, letting the two Killers out in the morning and watching the rat hunts are funny as all get out. They catch several every day. I saw the biggest rats I have ever seen around the ponds here. They are huge. I thought they were nutria. |

I had 2 come from the North, then 3 came from the East- right out of the sun, then while I was watching North and East 3 came in from the South over my shoulder. |

I hunted Hockley yesterday AM with a local Ducks Unlimited group. Over 150 shooters on 6500 acres spread out pretty good. I shot 3. And apparently that was the day record.

this was Knox City. 15 day outlook is calling for a strong front bringing highs into the mid 70's and lows in the 50's. This would be great to get the big birds moving down here. |

NE Burnet county, I saw exactly 3 bird in two days.
So since I was on my cousin's ranch anyway, we moved hay. While sitting waiting for the truck with the trailer to come back, I had a surprise visitor. A Tom turkey landed on the hood of the tractor. Looked at me, mooned me since it was not turkey season then joined 23 of his brothers to feed where the hay bails were. Also had 5 does, 8 point and a 10 point come out to feed while moving hay. Also, Saturday night I spot lighted a mountain lion while looking for hogs. So not to bad of a weekend all things considered. |

As long as the cat leaves the cows alone then I don't bother them. Mountain lions have been in my area for decades. Neighbor use to have some cubs come up to eat cat food on her back porch with her house cats. The Cubs looked about 4 month old in some of her pictures. Game warden recovered a cat that was hit by a car last year. Cattle man's association supposedly has a 600 buck bounty for a pair of ears on cats that kill cows. Coyotes I will shoot on sight. |

Arrived on the lease late Friday night. Saturday morning it Armageddon Rained. Got on a sizeable sunflower field around 3:30 on Saturday afternoon and picked out a nice location around a small tank. For the next 3 hours didn't see nothing. Finally started walking the field and picked up a few dove. Also flushed a crap load of Quail which only made my mouth water. Around 6:30 we were back on the edge of the field around the water tank, and finally started to get some flyers. I ended up with 11 Dove in the bag.

I am going up to the grasslands after work one day this week before it starts raining again. I was really hoping for a big cold front this Wednesday but oh well. |
