We usually call these zig zag spiders but they are actually Black and Yellow Argiope. (thanks interwebs!) Ran across this one on the ranch last week and had to put the spider to the spin test.  Luckily this grasshopper "volunteered."

Amazing how fast they weave their web! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I am not sure that this is even real but thought I should present it to ya'll and get some feedback.

So many people have talked negative of the idea of hunting as a pure sport. Where is world hunt association today? What happened to them? What political backlash did they receive?

To a quote a certain member of the TexasHuntFish team:

How do you shoot a deer – and then catch/release? Can’t. Must be killed. Can’t be done just for fun. Bottom line. Period."

Excellent points and something to think about.

Your thoughts? 

I'm gonna jump the gun on this video Lamar sent through an email.  It's just too good not to post instantly!  One last time for this monster buck and his female companion.  Reminds me of a movie I saw once....was it Die Hard?

Even in the blistering cold of the snowstorm this morning the birds were out in force.  The red birds looked remarkable against the white white background of the snow covered Texas landscape.

Dad shot this on his little still camera but will upload more later.  Anyone else get snow today this Christmas Eve?

  This is crazy!  Apparently this hunter, Pat Lefemine, hit him in his vitals, but he also severed his spine.
