Hunting

This past weekend we (my brother and I) had the pleasure of hunting with our uncle and his family over in MO. Starting on Thursday, we left from a birthday party in Taylorville to embark on our journey. Our uncle provided the transportation...and the entertainment: we watched movies most of the way there...and back...and in-between. ;-) On Friday we hunted quail...



And only shot 2. Oh well...

Friday evening was earmarked with supper at Granny's, followed by a slideshow of the day's [camera] shots. Thennnn, (after going to bed about 11:30 the previous night) three of the hunting party (including myself), woke up before 4:00 Saturday morning and left for a deer hunt...

...in the freezing cold. As in, 30 degrees, wind SW...or NE...maybe SN, can't remember for sure ;-) at 15-20 mph, and no sun all morning. Welllll, apparently the deer didn't like us because we didn't see anything all morning. Then we found out later that someone near our stand shot a doe--after we left. :-P ("Was a nice-sized one, too") So after all that....quail hunting went we again, for, eh, 3 hours or so (killed another--a total of three birds) then came home.

And another thing, I personally officially label this past weekend as...

The Weekend of Eating (and hunting)

Since..........I ate about 15 sandwiches on Friday and had 3 or 4 lunches on Saturday. *halo* And you must include mid-night snacks, in-between munchings, and, ah, other things like that. Hehe... ;-D

But it feels good to be home. :-)
