Last Monday went over and put up a feeder and filled it with 6 bags of corn. Put up some pig panels around the feeder. Put up a T-Box blind. Took the wife and a couple'a chairs we bought at Office Depot on sale with us to put in the blind yesterday. It was my wifes first trip to the lease and she was pumped. Saw signs of pigs on the outside of the feeder and signs of deer on the inside. I think my buddy and I found a very good place. I need to take my wifes new rifle and zero it on Wednesday. We are leaving for OH Ivey thursday afternoon for the weekend and I know as soon as we get back she will be planning on heading to the lease to shoot her a pig.

Not gunna let her be the one to zero it?

No she leaves that to me.

Way ahead of me, got 2 places that still need attention

This place we found was only hunted by the owners son and hasn't been hunted in several years. Its a year round lease and the rancher wants pigs shot. My wife wants to shoot some pigs and my buddy's wife loves to shoot pigs.

Bust all you can, don't want to make the owner mad!

What County Skip?

ahead of me as well. I've walked out our new place and saw that we already have summer plots in, but no stands, feeders or cameras out yet.

Limestone County. A one buck and a spike county. Doe by permits.

sounds like you have the wife stoaked too.

What part of limestone? I have a place SE of Kosse.

My wife is ready to hunt. She is very much into fishing and hunting with me. Sure makes life easier. Gary the lease is east of Kosse. I was raised in Mexia. Or you from Kosse?

Skip we need to meet sometime when we both will be down there. I live in Chandler, but bought the place in Kosse, my wife dosent hunt but she loves to go to the place and relax. Let me know next time you will be in area so we can meet up.

Gary I sent you a message.

Sounds like you are all ready to go. My step dad and I are just doing our own first lease. We always day hunted. I think we have some work to do now..lol

Tex, it does take alittle work, just plan ahead and don't let the heat get to you while your doing it. Do it in stages if you have to.

I am a HS teacher off for the summer so we have some time. Its not in too bad of shape. There are a couple of blinds in place I am trying to buy from the previous leasee. Want to find a way to put some water out for the animals (Have to lug it in) but was thinking of using a heavy washtub type container or maybe bury a cut off 55 gallon drum. Other than that get one feeder going, cut some brush, put a game cam out, etc. etc. Thanks for the encoragement. I picked this up because my 73 year old step dad doesn't like the pressure of the day hunting places to shoot whatever walks out. He would rather enjoy his time outdoors and be more picky about his shooting. Sounds good to me.

It is very nice of you to look after your Step Dad that way. I guessing your a good man. Good luck on your lease and don't pay to much for those blinds. You will be doing the other guy a favor buying them so he want have to move them.
