Well my wife is sick and all my buddy's are sick or out of town and I have one doe tag left. So I'm going hunting all by my little ol self , the weather here in Tx. is getting cold and nasty so should be great. I'm out at my friend Paul's place seeing bunch of deer and the ducks are on the lake. Have a cool little tiny house in the woods to stay in and a few days to hunt so will post as I can.

Best of luck Sam I an sure something will be on the meatpole!!
:bigsmyl: What is the annual doe limit in Texas? Reason I ask is ours was reduced this year.
Looking forward to the reports. :campfire:
Well the doe part of this hunt is over , shot a nice old fat doe this afternoon. Made a good clean shot on her with a TreeShark and watched her fall ( got it all on video also ) so she is on the meat pole. Going to give the ducks my best in the morn but those suckers are hard to hit...
Me and my best friend Donald both shot a doe last week and with this girl down I am officially out of whitetail tags here in Tx.

:thumbsup:
nice! I see ducks at the river wash (concrete river of southern california. I have my duck stamp. There is one month left of the season. I bought some walmart boots for the recovery (I wold be walking in nasty river sludge to retrieve arrow and (hopefully) game were I to take a shot in the concrete river : ). Ducks! Still in season! I am all stamped and licensed for such. cheers.
Congratulations
I'm back at the Tiny House melting the ice off me and my gear , was fun but nothing to show for my efforts. I missed 10 shots this morn some in the air and most on the water , only have a few feathers to show for it. My cameras both froze , one just quit working and the buttons on my action can froze solid. Going to sit this afternoon and hope a hog walks by or maybe an Axis deer ( have free range axis here ). Will try for ducks again in the morn then head home , weather says it's going to be colder tomorrow ....

Thanks for getting the pics up..
Top pic was getting ready this morn...
Then my bow and everything else covered in ice....
,,,,Sam,,,
Very cool....how do you get the arrows back?
We have a highly trained duck, decoy, and arrow retriever (http://i.imgur.com/VZGH2Tx.jpg)
And a kayak... lol
I have a small kayak here for getting arrows and I hope dead ducks. It is snow/sleet mix going on now and everything is frozen. My hunt tonight was slow only saw one whitetail buck and he had shed his antlers and a fox and a coon. The small lake I'm hunting ducks on is about 8 acres in size. I moved my decoys around a little so hope in the morn they like it better..

Very nice congrats
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Just home and getting warmed up and thinking about going after ducks again in the morn. Looked over my footage and the doe is good and i did get the shot on the duck on my action cam. About to start getting it edited now....
,,,Sam,,,
Good stuff Sam! Congrats.
I know it gets cold down there and I know it snows but somehow I never associate snow and ice with texas lol.
Cool stuff Sam - the bow and duck on the frozen pond is cool!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thats awesome!
The YouTube vid is 75% loaded soon as it's finished I will post it up....
,,,Sam,,,
congrats Sam!!
Glad things worked out Sam. Not sure what I would have done without you going up to my place and getting it ready for the deep freeze. This is the second year in a row where we have hit close to 0 degrees F. The cabins there are just not set up for this kind of weather. I'm guessing probably about 4 or 5 was the "lowest" low on this current cold front. Anyway, thanks for keeping my doe population down some and congrats on the duck.
P.S. Lindy gets a kick out of you sitting for days, freezing cold, hours on end... to shoot a duck with your bow. Anyway, thanks for all you do.
