Hunting Season

For the first time in years (read: since we've been together) Matt and I are both home and able to commit to hunting! If it wasn't deployment, it was military training or school but this year we're here and excited! 

Today we went out to finalize our commitment to a hunt club a couple hours from home.

1,000 acres of this:

Our binds are set up on 115 acres that haven't been hunted in years. If we don't get our limits I'm going to be a little bitter! 

As we were out there, I was making a list of things we need before opening day. I'm so relieved to say that our list is pretty short since we've been restocking our supplies steadily. 

Another reason I'm thankful for this recon: 

We realized that Matt needs to get his work boots resoled because of dry-rot! He's clearly been spending too much time in boat shoes and loafers and not enough in his work boots ;) 

Jokes aside, I am so excited to have this backwoods hide-away. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest and Georgia and not the hill country of central Texas it's like a piece of home for both of us. 

Until September 27th rolls around we'll occupy ourselves by target practice

And tailoring my youth size (but still too big) pants! 

I'm sure we'll even get out and do some hog hunting to get a feel for the land. Look out for some update posts in the fall; friends, once we get a deer I'm sure we'll have a BBQ!
