Texas Trip




Sarah and I just got back from Austin. We went down there to visit Molly,John, and Emily(Sarah's sister,brother in-law, and niece) and do some fishing and turkey hunting. We had an awesome time eventhough the turkey hunting did not prove to be succesful. This season I have managed to call in two hens which has led me to believe I sound like a lesbian turkey. John took me to his ranch which is pretty unbelievable. When we set up on friday morning we heard 4 different birds gobble but we couldn't get any to work with us. My excuse besides my gay calling was the oppresive heat. Way to hot to even think about doin it. Later on we walked up on another spot John thought might be holding birds and we got busted by two big toms and a jake. Decided to call it quits and do some fishing. The bass pond on this place is pretty incredible. THe water is gin clear and you can see lunkers cruising the banks. John and I both caught some nice fish but no monsters. Sarah caught and released all be herself several nice brim. All on the fly I might add.




Saturday Sarah and I had a full day in austin. THe highlights being a butt naked fat chick at barton springs and seeing James Hand play at the continental club. Finished up the day with some great sushi at mizou(cougar territory) after starting the day with the world's biggest breakfast taco at Jim Bob's trading post.




Here is a video of emily checking out her first turkey call and a picture of one of the bass.
