Cool pics. I can picture you having a great time out there.
Went out to my families' land in Real county for some maintenance and to maybe get rid of a couple of Feral Hogs. Took a bunch of pics while I was up there... here's a few.
Feral HogsThey pretty much just destroy the land and make a mess of things... 1 maybe 2 of them made this their home... but you mainly would hear them at night.
Something about water and caves that just don't mix with me... I refuse to swim in this particular water hole. Plus, the water looks about 10 feet deep... but it's more like 20... no thanks.
Was firing a high powered rifle at a tree... went clean through the trunk and blew out the backside.
The place is over 30 years old... so it's starting to fall apart a bit... My father and I were replacing the deck. It's starting to warm up, so snakes are starting to get active around this time... My dad said "Watch out for that rattler!" a few minutes after the pic was taken... I jumped outta there in about 1/2 a second.

damn dude, nice ing land. lucky bas
Whereabouts is your place?
I have a place about 10 miles east of Barksdale.
well... it's tucked away pretty good in a valley, so i'm not sure exactly how far away it is from Leakey... but the entrance to access the land is about 20-30 minutes north or northwest of Leakey.
here's a few more...

we spent a couple of years a while back ago trying to stock all the various ponds with catfish... they never really took : (
fresh hill country water ... the water in this particular pond is pretty damn cold... you have to go a bit downstream before it gets warm enough to swim in comfortably. In the summer it's fine though.
They cleared this hillside to get power up to some people who just built a cabin on the other side of the hill. It's a to climb but it's a pretty good workout.

Very nice place! Everyone should be lucky enough to have a place to go out and shoot guns. Kids don't get to do that much anymore. Our friends have about 40 acres near Karnes City, and all our kids just have a blast shooting skeet, exploring with their BB guns, target shooting. They've all had safety instruction; it's just good, clean fun.
I don't see white powder on your lips. I guess she didn't go with you.
thanks for all the compliments... it lets me appreciate what i have and not take it for granted. I inherit that land once my father dies (which i hope is a looooooooong time from now) and i hope to maintain it as well as my father and my grandfather have before me.
yeah that.
and I would go swimming in that water hole anytime. looks great.
that deer was so damn lucky it wasn't in season. i had my rifle right next to me and i was watching it through the scope for at least 3 minutes. she was the true lucky bas ... deer jerky and sausage is ing goooood... especially when you take it to dziuks up in castroville![]()
oh god I love some deer/hog mix sausage and jerky! yum.
that's why i was really hoping those hogs would show themselves... you can shoot them year round and a large adult will give you enough meat to last for a long ass time.
nice place dude, thats where im going to bury my next victim...
g-unot
Don't EVER let it go
the venison/pork sausage country slaughterhouse outside of victoria makes is incredible. my dad has been taking his kills there for years, i have a deep freeze full of it.![]()
Here's a few more:
9 down... 50 to go.
looked like it could be a bobcat... not sure though.
