Dove season has begun...

They're not all trophies...

Who knows what these would look like in five years.  The odds are not likely to be much.

Scraping out has begun...

The young buck on the left has already "scraped out" or rubed the velvet off of his antlers.  This is early as they usually start this about the twentieth of September.

Louisianna Cooking

We just returned from a trip we took last week which included some very interesting and good meals in Louisianna. Above are pictured some of our favorites.  Gumbos, char-grilled oysters, barbecued drum, fried green tomatoes, fried seafood, bacon wrapped shrimp, and a dish made with crawfish and crab.

Another good rain!

My rain guage was filled up and running over this morning.  During this rain event that totals over 11.3".  All of my stock tanks were running around.  What a blessing.

Buck's tines are still growing longer...
