Had a mixed bag today as far as luck goes. Had the truck packed and ready to head to FL, and got "the" phone call--blasted storm went exactly the wrong way, and is sitting on the beach where we were going to be bowfishing. Cabin where we were going to stay for the hog hunt is flooded. Needless to say, that trip was cancelled--our host won't have another weekend off to take us before deer season, so we'll have to plan for next summer.

The good news is we were running about 2 hours behind schedule and hadn't left yet (we were within 10 minutes ofleaving). Could have been 100 or more miles down the road before we found out if we'd been on time.

Good news is an old buddy moved to the MS Gulf Coast, and is going to be on the lookout for a place to bowfish for stingray, and my UPS guy (I don't ship via UPS, but our local delivery guy is great) thinks he has hogs on his 250 acres and we're making plans to go check to be sure. If he does, I have permission to hunt them--within an hour or so of myhouse--whoo-hoo!

Kinda bummed (ok--REALLY bummed) about the stingray trip getting washed out (literally), but there's still hope on the horizon. At least I still have my elk hunt coming up in about 3 weeks.
