tcups has gone to the mountain retreat for R&R, timmy is coming home from 'bama and he owes me 27 return phone calls, s.c. gamecocks are playing l.s.u. at home, i gotta boil some peanuts to send to joe in n.y. and i just received two guns in the mail that i will be busy scoping them so i can start shooting tomorrow before i go to the game and then posting results on the gta. i might have to take off next week so i can get some rest....NOT!....

Go Cocks! That's about all a Tennessee fan living in SC can say about SEC football this season, I fear. Boiled peanuts, beer, and Carolina football - OK.
We had the local hickory smoked BBQ for lunch and plan to grill a couple of nice pieces of tuna tonight. Sipping on some bourbon and considering options now.
The leaves are changing and will be at their prime this week, but we seem to be in a cloud this afternoon. It's supposed to be clear and colder tomorrow.
I think I will get up early tomorrow, cammo up, check on the local woodland creatures, exercise the Di 48 / 20, and snap a few pictures, then settle in for the games.
Have a good weekend, Roger.

Sounds like Saturday will be a fun filled day...watch out for LSU, you know they got their butts slammed last week here in the Swamp (http://../jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-wink.gif)so they'll be trying real hard to make amends.

It was clear and cold this morning, as forecast, and around 730, I loaded up the "Chino" (the Chiclone of the Yamaha Rhino) and headed out the old CCC road to a spot I know. The fall colors are coming into their prime and will be spectacular for the next week or two. 48 degrees was a bit crisp for the ride, but soon the "Great White Hunter" had parked near a sharp bend in the road (complete with a convenient mirror placed to avoid any unpleasant surprises rounding the hairpin turn). I knew this was a good spot because of all the hickory trees, and hence, plentiful hickory nuts. The bend, of course, was around the point of a ridge, and after parking, I walked out on the lower end of the ridge another 50 yards, set up my stool and tripod, and waited for the morning sun to crest the ridge behind. I had hunted here once before, and liked the spot as a sort of a shooting gallery, because of all the bent and half-fallen trees making good horizontal avenues for the squirrels to move about. It was also breezy this morning, so there was a constant ruffling of the leaves and more noise than usual. It had rained last night, so the dry leave on the ground were not too loud and crunchy when I move about. In short order the squirrels did begin appear, and over the next two hours, even though I had a three decent shots and should have had at least two kills to post on the hunting gate, I managed to come home empty handed. Which is OK, really. I didn't have to clean any squirrels, and all they suffered was the scare of a near miss. In the course of the morning, I did get to play with my squirrel call, consume some beef jerky and a really crisp apple from one of the local orchards, and a small thermos of coffee fortified with a healthy dash of 12 year old frost bite/snake bite medicine. I also took all these pictures this wonderful fall morning. Life is good.

Tommy,those pics certainly makes life look like a breeze,beautifull sky-view....... :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend & as always,be safe :)

Dang, that mirror makes you like thinner, too! Wish I was there, bro.
Watch out for bears. Come to think of it, be very careful with that squirrel call. Some of the local bears may consider you to be an extremely meaty squirrel with all the nuts around there.
I've just been grocery shopping, to the cleaners, paid the bills, and vacuumed. Time to shoot off my back porch, I think. Now tonight, we have Texas-Missouri, and that should be a game!
-
yea that mirror had the inscription on it....."things may appear smaller than they really are"....ha!!
-
I resemble that remark!
-
Yeah, Mizzou hasn't won at Texas since the 1800's. Maybe I will flip over during the breaks in the SC vs. LSU game.
