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.

I feel lucky...

As I have started blogging, and thinking about all the hunts I have gone on over the past couple of years, there is a common thread for me and my hunting experiences. Either my uncle or my father-in-law (FIL) were there. Both of them are like father figures to me, even though I do have a very wonderful and loving father (a non hunter). All of my hunting adventures and experiences have been magnified by having the two of them with me, in particular in the outdoors. Being in the outdoors is a gift and an honor, and spending it with two of my best friends has truly been special for me. My uncle lives in South Carolina, and during my early hunting ventures, he really nurtured my spirit and friendship by "training" me and pointing out things I didn't know as well as building up my excitement, hence the father figure-esque description. But, he never did it in a condescending way. I truly count him in my circle of best friends. I shot my first buck, turkey, and goose

ATV Plow put together and ready for the food plot planting season

Finally got the plow after a shipping debacle with UPS.  First, this thing was relatively easy to put together, even though the instructions were complete garbage.  The directions were on a small piece of paper with an even smaller diagram with numbers pointing to illegible numbers relating to part numbers... disaster.  But as a relatively bright individual, I was able to figure it out :)  haha. Anyway, for the cost, it is pretty darn heavy and should do what I need it to do.  I am quite certain it will not fair well from a "weather proof" perspective, and I think will rust.  Will have to keep an eye on it. Just need to throw 2 or 3 cinder blocks on the tray for extra weight when needed, and lower the wheels using the bar to drop the tines into the dirt.  I plan on using this to prep the soil by first mowing.  Then I'll use the plow to churn up the ground, then throw down the seed & fertilizer, and finally use the drag harrow to smooth the bedding surface.
