Sorry for the lack of posts this week, folks. Things have been very busy around here as usual, and my friend and I are just finishing up all of the remodeling on my mom’s house so that she can move up next week. That, and of course, we have tried to hunt a few days while the rut is still going. Unfortunately we have not put anything big down on the ground.

However that was not the case last week at Cypress Creek Hunting Lodge. We had several guests kill nice animals, and I am looking forward to sharing all of those new harvests on Monday along with details of my new project. I will also be back to full speed on my posting, so make sure and stay tuned!

And with finally getting caught up on things around here, something had to go wrong or it wouldn’t be life… this time it is sick kids. Will has been sick off and on all week, but his big brother Bo woke up last night with a very  high fever and a terrible cough, so they are at the doctor right now. But mama and dada had to keep him calm this morning until we could get an appointment, so what did we do? Well, we called “Big Hog” to entertain him.

Who is “Big Hog” you ask. He is a giant, black boar that answers on channel 2 of our walkie talkies - really mama. But what the boys don’t know, won’t hurt them. All they know is that when dada calls “Big Hog” on the special radios, the giant boar answers and tells them where he is at the moment, whether he is feeding or bedding and other hog details. Both of the boys really enjoy talking to him, and Bo really likes to hear him squeal when he shoots in to the radio! As a matter of fact, Bo told me this morning that he got him “right in the heart, so he is ready to be made in to meat”.

Demented I know, but what can you do when it is too cold to get outside to hunt, and you have to keep their interest in the outdoors up? Parents, you should try it. Remember, “Big Hog” is on channel 2. Have a great weekend, and see you on Monday!
