considering our weather this summer, I'm thumbs up on OPEN WEEKEND. Let the games begin--B

A much thanks to Bradley and Terry for guiding Danny L , his brother Kippy, Tommy T and his friend this past weekend during the monsoons at the RIV. During their discovery jaunt to North Roberts sunday, they got on the WRONG rice levee and walked its length before turning back realizing it was the wrong one. Next adventure was the one that took them to the pit only to discover it was part of the ocean of water mother nature was dropping. At this moment a decision was made to head south to more accommodating blinds. At the end of their exit jaunt to the cars, Three Rivers was renamed--Three rivers Health and Fitness Club. more »

It only took one year-- but I finally spent the night at TR. After a gusty shoot with Bradley and Mike J. and an invitation for a dinner of jambalaya, who could leave. Not to mention HZ's invitation to rack in his bunk-thanks. Its really not so bad once you get all the mice and rats names down and they quit crawling on you.

I regret not being able to join the soaked hunters of the morning, I was looking forward to revisiting my younger days with a good wet hunt, but the rain stopped in time for our cl
oudy-breezy shoot.

Oh and I give Andy B the best dog godfather of the year award for his time with Dacoda. That dog has a second dad whether he knows it or not. more »

There is not a single event in the year that I spend as much time planning for. I regret not being there for the fist shoot, but the afternoon shoot was picture perfect. The weather was great, the comradery was rich, the skies were full of propects, and the sunset was right on. I'm glad to be back in the fields, and glad its Three Rivers - see you in the pit.
