OK, I guess I admit I have some deep seeded issues to deal with if all that bothers me and yes, I am dealing with them b/c I don't see my hunters giving it up anytime soon. I have to remember the advice of my dear sweet Gamba. She always said to me, "Well, at least they are out hunting wild game in the great outdoors enjoying the beauty of our landscape and not chasing women, gambling, or sitting in bars". I guess she is right. There could be much worse extra curricular passions that I would detest. Which brings me to the title of this post...So Long...Farewell...at least for the next 7 months! HOWEVER, I can't deny that the boys did have a good hunting season and with it a lot of fun too.
Along with this season came Floyd IV bagging not only a few doe (Doe...a deer...a female deer....sorry...I can't seem to shake this Sound of Music theme I have going on) but his first racked buck! A 9 point!!
He was so proud and it now hangs on his bedroom wall in a tasteful skull mount setting that really looks nice amidst the others his dad has bagged! The American flag through the eye socket was Floyd IV's touch. Nice.
Another treat this season was having the Pedigos come up for a hunting extravaganza weekend complete with a hunt at Buford Break in Glendora with the Connells. Scott and Lulu came up on a Friday and the 4 of us met Kelly and Ted at their hunting cabin in Glendora. Here is a pic of all the hunters after the morning duck hunt.

On Saturday we drove back to Greenwood and Scott met his Dad and got Walker and Elizabeth so they could come to Greenwood for the rest of the weekend and join in the hunting fun. Walker shot a doe that afternoon! (yes...another female deer..rayyyyyy a drop of golden sunnnnnn....ok ok enough already...sorry)
So until next year...keep it real hunters and enjoy the upcoming Spring and Summer months.

Well now we have 7 months to prepare the land for next year. Just being outside with family and friends is what it is all about. It would be more enjoyable if one and usually more of us were not receiving cell phone calls asking "WHERE ARE YOU??" Oh well it is still worth it and we are not that dirty.
