Just took a shot at a coyote 3/4 of the way down my back pasture border with my AR. I missed the danged thing! my eyesight aint what it usedtawas. I've been meaning to swap out the red/green dot for a 3x9 scope and re-sight but haven't gotten around to it. Shoulda used my .22. It's accurate to an inch at 50 yards. The shot would have been about 75. It was almost pure gray and at first I didn't even see it there it blended in so well. So I also went ahead and trimmed up the lower bradford pear tree limbs that were obstructing my view from my recliner. Doubt he'll be back anytime soon, but I'll be looking for him. Mean time... I need to get a scope and get sighted in post haste. I won't miss next time.

Sounds like you and Mel have your work cut out for you!

 

[Bruce]

Mel was really happy to give them a fond greeting as well. I think he likes them as much as their dogs like me

Geez don't you know you are supposed to kick LGDs out in the field and ignore them or they won't be good guardians??

I drink my tea sweetened with creamer. drinking it now it tastes fine... a but different than regular black teas and has a different aroma, but not bad at all.

That is so cool! I'm glad you tried it. I took about 10 branches, from the big branch you gave me & will wash the other leaves, put them in the oven & make some tea to try, too. I'm really looking forward to trying it!

Had a visit from @Devonviolet and her DH yesterday. Was great to see them again. Mel was really happy to give them a fond greeting as well. I think he likes them as much as their dogs like me I told them if they ever want to get rid of Deo and Violet, I'd be happy to take them.

Its always a joy to see Mel! He is such a sweet dog! I always marvel at his size, especially his head! Its MASSIVE! I sure wouldn't want to be a predator tangling with Him!!! When he stands at the gate, to get attention from DH (who stands 6'4" in his muck boots)Mel almost reaches the top of DH's head.

She loves the translucent red berries and wants to try making yaupon leaf tea.

Here are a couple of the photos, that I took with my phone. The translucent berries are so striking! I'm so looking forward to trying the tea!

The reason we visited with LS is that our Falina went back into heat. So, RJ needed to come to visit her for a conjugal visit.

When we put RJ in with Falina, they did a little dance, but then Falina turned around and reared up to let RJ know that in no uncertain terms, she was NOT in the mood!!! Eventually it was time for dinner & all was forgotten. They both buried their muzzles in their feed.

That's Falina in the front.

Don't they make a cute couple???

Here are some shots I got, of RJ, today.

Here, he is letting Violet & Deo know to keep their distance. There was a delay, after I pushed the button, so I didn't get RJ rearing up.

RJ really is a good looking buck! I look forward to seeing his kids in the Spring!

Those will be some nice looking kids, I do believe. I've never seen any of those kind of trees around here, but it does sound interesting....guess we'll just stick with the Luzianne....

Can't beat Lipton!
I do like some Earl Grey black tea.

 

[Bruce]

Clearly RJ needs to bring Falina a bunch of flowers and a bottle of wine. Can't expect her to just head for the bedroom.

 

[CntryBoy777]

Don't forget the Smokes @Bruce ....

 

[Bruce]

I wouldn't want their precious goats to get into bad for your health habits @CntryBoy777 !!!

I like my tea with a touch of sugar & cram............not as white as yours LS.

While I enjoy coffee, sometimes I get back to my hot tea days for a few days. I like to use bulk leaves and run in my coffee pot so I have enough for several hours. I'm a Lipton gal but, several other brands are great, too.
