    Sitting in the woods...

    It’s a beautiful day down here in Georgia with off and on again rain. Reckoned I would go sit in the woods and see if any hogs needed killing today. Sure is peaceful out here with the birds chirping, squirrels scurrying, and the soft patter of rain drops. Plus I get to read Cast Boolits as well, lol.

    What is everybody else up to?

    My wife and I took her sister out to lunch. She stopped here on her way up from Florida, where the storm was hitting...

    Hope your able to connect with one LL. I’m just recovering from a long night shift and getting ready to go back in. Not looking forward to the drive in the rain.

    Gardening, then I took in the local Memorial day service, then back into the garden.

    I'd rather sit in the woods than about anywhere else I can think of. I spent today sitting out listening for turkeys. They got off to a little bit of a late start this year and they're still making up for some lost time. I got one on the second day of our season and now I'm carrying a gun but not shooting anything. I saw two gobblers strutting in front of half a dozen hens this morning and didn't even shoot. Guess I'd rather just look and listen at this point. I must be getting old, I'd rather look than shoot anymore. Just nice being out.

    Burned a brush pile that's been needing it for some time, then cleaned out the garage so my wife can park her car in there. Man, the things I do for that woman. Good Luck LL.

    It was pretty neat. It walked up and stopped about 30 yards away and stared at me. I stood up, took my phone out, took pictures, and put my phone away and it just stood there. I drew my Vaquero and aimed in, and then lowered the hammer and put the gun away. It finally trotted off when it got bored of looking at me. I guess they don’t get much pressure put on them around here.

    Sounds like a great day, LL. Sitting in the woods for awhile is one of my "Reset" buttons. I feel better just reading your posts! Funny that the coyote let you move around that much. Never seen one that curious, suspect you're right about the lack of pressure.

    Saw some turkeys, we have quite a few on the property. Got one of my P89s race-tuned. Ready for most anything. Lot of colorful birds chirping away. Time for a pipe on the porch.

    Sent 30 powder coated Lee 310 gr boolits down range from my Ruger SBH 44 Mag. My wife accompanied me at the range for the only the second time in our 20 years together. She fired a couple of my .22’s. Afterward she actually said that she found it relaxing. Maybe there is hope for having her as a shooting partner now and then.

    Hi...
    Spent a few hours shooting paper targets at the gun club.
    Mostly .357s and 10mm.
    A few .270 rounds after my son sighted his new to him M700 in. Nice rifle.
    Next range trip will probably be a .45Colt kind of day.

    I was carrying 45 Colt today. Lyman 452423 over a stiff dose of unique is good medicine for everything I’ll come across down here!!

    I was hoping to see some pigs as I have seen a lot of sign on the property, and I drove past a 10 pig sounder about a mile from the property last night. Two big sows and a mess of little pigs.

    Cleaned up my uncle's grave site(and my grandparents). He was killed in Korea in 1953. Helped ID a Sioux Uprising unknown grave today also. It is an ongoing project we help with every memorial day. Local name so there may be surviving family who will be glad to know where that person is laid to rest.

    Got home, removed a mouse hotel from my Traeger smoker, burned off mouse stink for an hour then made a sirloin roast to slice thin for sandwiches.
