Hunting

I went hunting for the 1st time in my life... and I have to say it was pretty boring but at the same time it was a great experience. I have never been to Kerrville, TX before but I really wanted to get away from the city for a while. It was really peaceful out there, not much going on at all. One negative was the food.
The food was horrible! I totally missed the city food. The whole time we were there I only had one good meal which was mexican food. The rest of the time I ate junk food... yuck. I was so sick of eating like crap all weekend.

We arrived Thursday evening, got settled in to the hotel and grabbed a horrible dinner at Chili's. It was effin gross! Seriously.. something happend to that resturaunt. It went downhill... FAST! The next morning we were set to wake up at 4am!! We ended up waking up at 4am but since it was raining we were told we couldnt hunt until the rain stopped. Sebastian and I and his dad went to grab breakfast and then went back to the hotel to nap until we were able to go out. I nearly froze the 1st day. My feet felt like ice.. literal ice. My feet felt like they were webbed...like a ducks feet with ice inbetween them. By mid day I literally couldnt feel my toes. Come to find out my boots were on too tight, cutting off my blood circulation to my ice cold, frostbitten feet. The sun did not come out at all that day. We ended up shooting 2 axis and an elk. We even had another crappy dinner at some place named 'Culvers'... gross.

Day 2 I was going to make sure I didn't freeze. We went to Walmart to get hand, feet and body warmers. I went out the next morning at 4 am again with 5 body warmers on me. I was set! Up at 4 am again after going to bed at midnight, I was super sleepy! Once we got to the ranch I went out with the boys for a while then decided to stay at the cabin the rest of the day where it was warm. They didn't end up shooting anything the 2nd day we were there. We called it a day around noon and decided to get head back to eat. We finally got a good meal that night at a local Mexican restaurant..yumm. After eating all that junk, it was so satisfying to get a good meal.

The next morning we picked up all our meat at the processing factory. I have to say I was pretty impressed with all the meat that came out of that freezer. We probably had 800 lbs worth of meat to take home. It was like nothing I had ever seen before!
