kdub:
since you live so far away, just kidding..   Im hunting at lake ray roberts wma.

cowboy:
Kdub, have you got permission to cut trees anywhere out there yet? theirs lots of beautiful osage trees around Ray Roberts and all over that country :)..

kdub:
I haven't yet.  You're right there is some beautifull country out that way.  Raybob is so much nicer than lake lavon, the drive is a little longer for me but definitely worth it.  I wouldn't know an osage tree if i was sitting in it.   Im fairly new to arcghery, and I better learn to identify osage if Im ever gonna learn to make bows. Which I would like to be able to do. 

cowboy:
If ya drive around looking right now theirs no leaves on the trees but you can recognize the bodark's by the yellow hugh they give off, or the tree's themselves kinda look yellow. Later on they'll green out - well I think in spring they look about the same as all the other trees but late summer they'll have a waxy looking leaf and will have the horseapples on them.

kdub:
Even Closer this time!  Man this is why its called hunting and not killing.  I had a group of hogs walking up the trail towards my blind, as they were about to come into my shooting lane I began to anticipate my draw, release, and on target hit.  Well, instead of walking 2 more yards to exit the brush they suddenly made a turn down a new fork on the trail, that I had not seen in the dark when setting up.  Realizing that it was now my fleeting chance to take a money shot I let my arrow fly at a boar quartering away, my arrow harmlessly ricoched off a branch and the hogs escaped until yet another long anticipated saturday morning.   Oh well, at least I got to shoot. ;D
