Happy weekend, friends! I hope everyone is staying warm during these chilly, chilly days… Brrr! There’s something unsettling about needing to wear the same fleece-lined leggings to work that I typically wear when I am duck hunting. I know, I know… If I am not hunting, I am a complete wimp about cold weather. But 18* yesterday was cold for the Lowcountry!
Hi Friends! Happy Tuesday… I hope everyone is getting back into the swing of things with ease. I know I am still somewhat recovering from the holiday season, but I am ready to get my nose back to the grindstone.
Happy New Years Eve-Eve, friends! I just want to start by saying THANK YOU so much for the sweet messages I got yesterday after my post about my Big Guy. Everyone is so kind, and I really felt the love. As I said, it will be tough, but my memories of him will always bring a smile to my face.
Happy Friday! Has this been an extra busy week for anyone else? I guess it’s the pre-Christmas craziness, huh? Well, I was lucky enough to get in a duck hunt Wednesday morning, so that definitely was a plus. It wasn’t a crazy hunt or anything – starting off a little slow but we moved to another blind around 8:30 & finished strong – but we limited out with ring necks, mallards, and a blue bill. Plus, I had 2 GoPros going pretty much the entire time so I got some great shots to add to this seasons video. Woohoo! Below are some still-frames from a few of the videos. It’s weird watching yourself hunt… [i.e. I have a terrible gun mount sometimes when I get flustered in the heat of the moment… No wonder my jaw bone is sore after some hunts!]. Enjoy!
Hi friends! I hope everyone had a happy happy Turkey Day & ate as much delicious food as we did… And had even more turkey sandwiches with the leftovers, naturally… Delish!
Celebrating my 28th with this guy the night before a duck hunt
It’s Friday! It’s Friday! Who else is super pumped? Yes, it is the weekend (at last), but don’t forget what else that means… Duck season opens tomorrrrowwwww around here. YES. But! Before I get all distracted, I will share with you the 3rd & final video from our honeymoon in Belize – a quick compilation of 3 days of bonefishing! Well, if you remember, it was actually 2 half days and 1 full day mixed around the diving & snorkeling & sharks oh my… But you get the idea.
How about this weather, huh? And how typical is it of good ol’ South Carolina? I had on shorts yesterday and just about need long underwear today. Speaking of chilly weather, a nice little front moved in over the weekend and we were able to do quite a bit of hunting in the newly crisp weather. I sat in the deer stand most of the weekend, and even squeezed in a quick dove hunt on Saturday afternoon for opening day of the second season. I was only in the field for about 45 minutes since I wanted to get in the deer stand a little early, but I shot a few times and managed to knock down 3 doves.
