Just the homies flying around here, pretty warm here as well. I sure miss the days back in Carolina, we hunted the Camden area quite a bit, great hunting, sure miss those days with my dad and his buddies.

Slow here in the piney woods.  Heading west in a couple weeks and should melt the barrel.

Timberking, we used to hunt in Wilbarger County, near Vernon, till the land owner died.  Miss those open/mesquite hunts.  Particularly the mesquite grilled dove and steak when the day is done.

Poston - I remember dove hunting down around Charleston many years ago.  That was also my introduction to fire ants.   Step on a pile while tying my boot lace.  MISTAKE!!!  But the hunting was pretty good.

Yes T. Ranger, that mesquite country is gamey.  Dove kabobs and grilled steak cooked on local wood is on the menu  We will go to Ballinger.  Neighbor just got back from San Angelo and it was outstanding.  Going to try my goatweed patch in Panola Co. again this weekend.  Maybe some of those Michigan birds will show up.
