I had a pretty awesome day during Christmas break at my hunting lease.

I was up at 0500 and took 4 wood ducks before 0800 in some flooded timber. Came back to the campsite and filled up on homemade sausage, biscuits and eggs that my father in law had whipped up. From 1000 - 1130 I took 10 dove over a plowed under maize field. We grilled up some deer sausage w/onions and peppers for lunch and washed it down with a cold beer. In the late afternoon I smoked a nice 8 point buck and then just a dark fell I had some pigs walk under my feeder and I shot a nice sized wild hog as well. I loaded the deer and pig on the 4-wheeler and drove them back to camp. We had some great t-bone steaks, baked potatoes and salad for dinner. I gutted and cleaned the deer/pig and we drug the guts out to the edge of camp. My brother and I sipped on some top shelf bourbon and occasionally spot lighted the guts. Around midnight a few coyotes started howling and moved in on the remains. I put a round right between the eyes of one and his pelt made a great pillow that I gave my mother in law. Hard to imagine a perfect day that doesn't involve my wife and kids but I will never have a better day as a hunter as I did that day.
