My Trifecta Weekend…
For those of you who are not on FaceBook, this past weekend was a whirlwind of hunting. Friday was exhilarating as we got on the road at 4 am to hunt deer in some cold 39 degree temps. The brisk morning sit was as good as it gets as I watched groups of does and managed to call in some bucks. Thankfully, I had a nice 8 pt show up and he was a good size to harvest.

The adventure continued as we loaded up and went to one of our favorite hunts each year at DW Outdoors to hunt ducks. Hanging out at duck camp is so much fun but you have to get used to outdoor bathhouses and some rustic accommodations! We had a fantastic time sharing stories around the camp fire and enjoyed some grilled bone in pork chops and amazing chicken perlo – the south’s best version of chicken and rice!

It is great when Dad’s pass down the tradition of hunting to their sons! Gardiner relaxing before the hunt.

Thankful for this wonderful hunt!

Happy Hunters! Michael, Maggie & Trippett
Off we went after a fun time hunting ducks to our last stop… Honey Camp Dove Club where we were hoping to see some migratory birds. The afternoon was perfect for hunting doves, but they were no shows and most of us left the field without a quarry!

Sunflowers were bright and cheerful even though the the doves were no shows!
What a weekend! Congratulations on all!
I subscribe through a reader, not email. The number of blogs I read would clog my email, I’d zip through and delete them thinking “I won’t forget to read…” and then my middle-aged mind would…completely forget! 😉
Thanks Robin!!! I really appreciate other outdoor bloggers checking in with me! I love your blog as well and look forward to reading about your adventures at the homestead!

Thank You Leanne. I was thinking about you and your family and hope all is great! Please keep us posted on any new adventures! I want to talk to you more about that owl experience sometime. I will keep in touch.
Maggie–Congrats on the nice 8-pointer and the ducks. Some makin’s of mighty fine fixin’s there. Similarly, kudos on the 25,000 hits mark. Keep it up and first thing you know I’ll be saying “Why, I knew that woman back when she was just a real estate agent, not a celebrity outdoor communicator!

Thank you so much! You have also had an exciting year and so wish I could have attended the conference. Next year for sure! This is my favorite time of year with all the hunting that we can do and I struggle to get anything written! Happy Thanksgiving weekend!
