Friday Afternoon

I returned to the cabin where the girls were already stir crazy and ready to drive into town for some supplies.  We headed to Carizzo Springs and spent the middle part of the day there before getting back for a quick nap prior to heading out for the evening hunt. 

It was almost 4 pm before I was settled in the blind.  A group of javelina fed on the road in front of me.  

I contemplated shooting one, but decided against it.  I took some video of them before finally getting bored watching the little footballs.  I don't hold quite the same grudge against javelina as I do for their destructive hog brethren, so I opted not to shoot in favor of just running them off.   I didn't see much else until just moments before dark when I had a couple of does and a small buck make their way in.  I didn't want to exit the blind and alert them to my position, so I waited them out until they finally left the area.
