Haley Moeller gets a nice eight point buck...

Haley Moeller, pictured above killed this nice eight point buck with a well placed neck shot from the blind pictured over her left shoulder in the second photo. Haley is the daughter of Tim and Leann Moeller. She is in her second year at Texas A & M University where she is being very successful much like she shoots, with perfection.

Sunset...

This is the time in the fall that you can see some nice sunsets. I took this picture some time back. It is an example of what you can see this time of year.

Nice Fall Rain...

The rain this weekend couldn't have come at a better time. Water was flowed into the tanks and the just completed planting of oats was given a good soaking.

Still light enough to shoot...

The season is on for MLD rifle hunting. Either one of these would look good mounted. The deer are in good shape too. Later this week all of the sunflowers you see here behind these bucks will be plowed under and oats will be planted in in the food plots and senderos.

New Water Well

The well is dug then the casing is put in place. Next a hose from an air compressor is run down the casing. Compressed air is forced down the well and water is "jetted" out cleaning out the casing.
Now we have water to use for wildlife, livestock, and all other things including water for the stock tanks and fish.

Great Uncle William Jennings Bryan Campbell was inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame this past Fricay, 8-14-2005, before the anual rodeo. Uncle Bryan, who was the youngest of six children was our Grandmother, Mary Ann's, brother. The other siblings were brothers, Tom and Leo, and sisters, Ellen Campbell Tausch, and Alice Campbell. Uncle Bryan and Aunt Alice never married and lived and worked the family ranch which was between eight and nine thousand acres. They had two loyal people who with their families lived and helped with all of the workings of the ranch, Margarito and Manuel Guevara. Taking care of the cattle and all the various jobs was more than full time effort. I can just imagine how much time it would take just keeping the fences up in shape to turn cattle. The ranch had two major creeks which would get on rises mostly during spring rains. One the Borrego, spanish for sheep, drained over 214,000 acres and had drainage which extended into neighboring Wilson and Bexas counties. Uncle Bryan was a quiet man but in his youth was said to be one of the best cowboys to sit a horse.
Pictured at the induction are nineteen either grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren and some wives and husbands of our Carnes side of the Campbell family. My Dad, Leissner Poth, often said, " There is nothing better to a Carnes than another Carnes".
