The new and improved Good Morning thread!

Mrs. Sheepdog is in panic mode regarding Christmas presents. So my morning will be official bag carrier as we make a trip to the mall and surrounding stores. I did some negotiating last night and was able to pull off a breakfast burrito and lunch out of this. Plus my daughter has agreed to meet us for lunch, so the afternoon shift will be hers as I will head back home.
My wife and I came to an understanding that she can shop how she wants or take me with her and I set the pace/dollar amount. I haven't went shopping in 15 years.

Hey Razz, I was driving from Destin to PCB this morning around 4am and saw 5 different deer on the side of 98,, all doe (I think),, 1 big body... go get em boss :)

I had Captain cod stagger show up about 15 minutes after I posted that but couldn't get a bead on him as he was behind the remaining tie-tie swamp the loogers left when they clear cut.

He stopped one time in the open but kept going before I was confident in my shot, (about 200 yards), but got a damn good look at him with 15x.

I think he'd easily score 125" net, and that's a monster in Florida. If it doesn't rain like hell, I'll have my dad and myself set up to cut him off in the morning if he comes back.

Good morning folks.

So much for my grand plan.

The same buck showed up at 8:30 on camera on the opposite side of the block while we were sitting.

I think that glorified goat read my post.
 
I beat you old codgers this morning and good morning folks!.

I'm currently sitting in front of a bonfire in my boxers and flip flops. I trailed a buck for one of our older members into a cypress pond and fell, then mother bitch decided to suddenly drop the temp to the low 40's with 25mph gusts.

Found the buck though and damn this fire feels good. I'm guessing the morning will not be productive.
 
Morning all. Didn't get another buck last night, had 6 out in front of me and about a dozen does and fawns, but none of the bucks were mature enough to kill. I decided to let them grow for next year. By the time the bucks stopped coming out into the field the does were out of range so I went home empty handed. I'm not upset though, I have plenty of meat as it is.

Getting soaked isn't fun when it's cold like that. A long time ago my brother and I were catfishing in a creek just off the river where another tiny creek dumped into the bigger one. The little one had warmer water as it was fed from field tile and the shad were schooled up at the mouth. The cats were gobbling up shad and we were having alot of fun catching them. My brother tied into a big one and I went to help him land it, slipped and went straight in. It was cold, below 30, there was ice on the calm water, I climbed out and by the time I got to the truck my carhartts had ice on them.
