Working out and getting fit.

-
I have always considered myself a pretty healthy individual, and maintained myself physically for the most part. However, since my daughter was born almost a year ago, I can't remember the last training type of thing I have done. I am terribly out of shape, and am going to do something about it. 3 years ago from this January, I lined up and ran my first and only marathon! It was hard, but the training was rewarding and physically beneficial. I trained with a group called Team in Training and raised money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It was an awesome experience! My point of all this is I am getting back into shape. Somehow, someway...

Your thoughts on how to get back into shape, and force it into my routine would be appreciated.

Public lottery hunt... planning phase.

-
My cousin Tom and I are going on a public land deer hunt here in Texas in early January (9-11). We are preparing now, as we will be hunting in unfamiliar territory. We'll be hunting the Lake Houston State Park, which is just northest of Houston about 45 minutes to an hour. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be blogging about our preparation. So, right now we are discussing which weapon to use (rifle or shotgun). I think when we go scouting, we will see what the terrain is looking like. If the shot is less than 50 yards and heavy pine tress abound, shotgun for sure (this is most likely). Otherwise, I'll be using the trusty 30/30 my uncle gave me a few years ago. Either way, I am pumped. Nothing better than getting out in the woods to scout. I am hoping to get this climber tree stand for Christmas that I can use, otherwise I'll be sitting at the base of a tree and keeping the eyes peeled.

Shot a nice buck a few weeks back...

I was hunting with my father-in-law (FIL) a month ago, just outside Llano, TX. Its an area of Texas with rolling hills, mesquite trees, cactus, and thickets of thistle brush. Truly beautiful country. We arrived at the camp at about 2pm, and knew we were going to make an afternoon hunt. We chose our blinds, and I went to this blind called Big Moo. Mainly because its a ground blind and there are frequently lots of cows around being in the middle of a 2300 acre cattle ranch. My FIL is friends with the guy on this lease, and he has invited us out there the past few years. We can shoot a buck, a doe, and as many hogs as we see. So I get to my ground blind, and its a box blind that could easily accomodate 2 people, but its old and has 4 huge windows. Pretty much looks like 4 sheets of plywood with a plywood roof, painted dark green, very homegrown. It serves it purpose. So, I am settled in, have my binoculars up and am glassing the area. There is a feeder approx. 45yds directly in front ...

Turkey hunt around the corner!!!

-
Hey all, I know it has been a while, but my family has been dealing with some very serious issues. It involves cancer, and that is all I really want to say about it. Anyway, enough apologies... I am excited about my upcoming turkey hunt! I need to get out in the woods and breathe some woodland air. I have been practicing my box call, slate call, and started tinkering with the reed call. I just don't have confidence in those reed calls yet. I can't consistently get the sound I want. I can't purr yet with it either. Granted, I honestly haven't worked on it as much as I should have before heading into the woods, and it would free up my hands for my other gear and whatnot, but confidence is a huge issue in the woods. My cousin Tom has been practicing his reeds, too, and I am counting on him bringin me a big ol' bird! If anyone has advice on the the reed calls... other than practice, practice, practice! Please let me know!
