Celebrating my birthday with a fishing party...

 I don't think the fish was the only one "hooked" this day.  She caught eight bass.

 The girls, Mom and daughter were catching the big ones.

 Dad stopped assisting his family long enough to show he still has the touch.

Here were the two winners for the day.

When you are busted you are busted...

Out looking for does on a cool windy morning.

Get the grease hot, it's time to fry some fish!

High wide and handsome...

The protein feeders are popular with other wildlife too...

I wonder what he will grow up to be...

I hope the deer on the left sires many fawns...

Friends now, enemies later...

The crowd...

Best of the eights.

Want to hang these on your wall?

Both will be available after the rut... December 26 through Febuary 28.

Hanging out...

Very nice eight point buck.

They are still running together, but that will end soon...

Big boys are scraping out...

Waiting for the Javelinas to clear...

Bringing the fawns to the feed early...

Good one!

Tortilla Recipe

I followed this recipe, rolled my first out and it looked more like a map of the state of Texas.  Your try, let's see how you do.....

New Record

Ten feet, five and three quarter inches...

Looking Good!

They don't all make it...

It is said that the reason a whitetail doe has two fawns is..... one for the coyotes and one to keep.

Indigo Bunting

This is a fairly rare sighting...

Roadrunner in Bluebonnets

I saw this copied it and thought it worth sharing.

Painted Bunting "Siete Colores"

Now is the time of the year they migrate through South Texas.

The first cactus flowers of the season.

Later this week the blooms will cover the cactus plants.

Easter Antler Hunting...

My first find of the year.  This is a first set of antlers.  Sometimes you find them together, rarely, and sometimes they can be dropped on opposite ends of the ranch.

Snared Coyote

It's time to remove some of the coyotes before fawns start dropping.

Spring in Texas

Verbenas

This is a nice time of the year.

Wild turkey time!

Bobcat

He should make into something nice with a little age.
