Just wondering how many got to witness that great "Shooting Stars" event during the predawn hours on Saturday Morning. I didn't see anything to shoot, but seeing the meteor shower was awesome, never seen anything like it. I was running out of wishes they were falling so fast. Great event, I hope everyone else enjoyed it as much as I did.
Happy New Year!

Smell that? It's duck blood, mmmmm.

I saw it with my wife in the car heading to our lease. We thought it was a good sign, but then the big deer didn't show up. It was a good show, though.

I was in my blind in Tom Green county at 5:30 AM and was several. Beautiful morning. No bucks so we took a doe. I think the bucks must of thought the sky was falling.

We got to the blind way early Saturday. My daughter and I stood on the porch of the blind for at least 30 min. watching. We had to have seen at least 50.

I counted 28 that I was sure of, there were some that I just caught a glimpse of and I wasn't sure that my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. I hunt the northwestern corner of Montague County and it looked like some of the meteors (stars) were almost making it to the ground. I know of one that left a huge streak in the sky after it had burned out. Pretty Cool!
