What a great time of year

Howdy y'all

Hope everybody is enjoying the season of hunting and riding -- (not the season of mingling with relatives that don't do either). Like what am I s'pose to talk about?

I ain't got the picture of the for sale horse yet. Sometimes I'm as slack as the next guy. But I do have a picture of Ebutt on his palomino taken at the barrel races.

Big news! A Hollywood director called me and said that he wanted to make a movie about my hunting experiences. He said it would be called " Black Hog Down". That's a joke son, LOL.

( I know Chuck gets it)

This is just for you deer hunters. I came up with a new plan to nail a deer. I call it "Easter egg hunting". When I first mentioned this to some old timer hunting mates of mine, they laughed and said, "Lordy, Lordy!" Some people are jus old and sot in their ways I reckon. This is how it goes--Find a site for a tree stand (preferably near a deer path) with alot of underbrush -- place small amounts of corn in numerous spots amongst the underbrush. Be sure to have a clean shot to any of the positions chosen. The deer will have to play "Easter egg hunt" and he will think he is out of sight because of the underbrush. You are probably chuckling about this about now. Well the first afternoon I sat, I nailed a five point "playing Easter egg hunt!!!" I know I should charge for this extremely clever hunting trickery- but to you the Herd- no charge amigos.

What in dem woods?

Howdy y'all!

I know all of us have been riding when our trusty steeds seem fearful of sumpin in da woods and we jus don't know what it could be. Well, maybe it was this hogzilla I bagged recently. Lord knows, face to face, hogzilla will make your heart pump kool-aid. So next time this happens, be sure to show your horse a little love because he's whats standing between you and some great big tusks!

Now back to bidness-- one of my campers has a young saddlebred that she must let go of because she is leaving my paradise called Tanager Woods. He needs an exp. rider and for 300 smackeroos he can be yours. I will post a picture of him soon.

Oh by the way-- Me and Chuck went to see his friend Ebutt( Indian for Edward) race barrels at the fair. Ebutt runs in the senior division. So I figured I would check it out to see how fast them old folks race. If dey wuz slow enough, I mite could join em. Great daddy!!!! Dem old coots is as fast as dem youngbloods. So much for that idea.

In closing: If you have met all the requirements and have joined the 'HERD' from the privacy of

Howdy y'all,

Some herders wanted to know where the blonde bombshell pics were?

VA VA VA VOOM!!!! Ain't she purty.



I don't need a rear view mirror to drive this baby. Its in front!

Here is a logo that was sent in- at the bottom it says Lowcountry of South Carolina



Now listen up! The Big trail ride is scheduled for Jan. 24th--- for those travelling from afar, there will be camping spaces available Fri and Sat. nites. Sat. lunch( as of now) will be deer( venison ) chile prepared by a local hunt club. More details later.

Now one piece of bidness( that's country for business , at least in my part of the country )
A friend of Chuck's wanted to know if she could be a herder. The bylaws are hard and fast about
becoming a member. You must be a lady or gentleman-- swear that you ain't a horse thief- and do one good deed a month. Tammy, I believe you pass with flying colors. Welcome to the "HERD".
