Campfire

When the first sign of winter rolls through i love nothing better than a good ole camp fire with all my friends... You know that time of year when the air gets crisp and the temperature drops a few degrees. It is just so nice out and you do not want to be inside at all. This is my favorite time of year because we can make campfires. Campfires are so much fun because everyone loves fire. Just making a campfire is a lot of fun. But the best part is when its all made and you can just sit around with friends maybe have a few beers and just relax. There are always good campfire stories and good ole marshmallows. I am a country boy so i love my campfires. I cant wait for the next cold front in a few weeks.

FWC internship

Today i was invited to go do some research on FWC private land. We had to wake up a little bit early but it was well worth it. Its only about 30 mins from campus and its all rock quarry's. But eventually it turns into forest. We get to pick what we want to do research in. I chose to ride the swamp buggy, which sits on huge tractor tires, has a wench and is lifted close to five feet. We did our little research and along the way saw about 25 deer and 12 alligators. All in all a pretty sweet day.

famous qoutes that inspire...

"The gentleman does not needlessly and unnecessarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He can not only forgive; he can forget; and he strives for that nobleness of self and mildness of character which imparts sufficient strength to let the past be put the past." - R.E.L.

So Here's to a long life and a merry one. A quick death and an easy one. A pretty girl and an honest one. A cold drink and another one. Here's to Civil Wars and Revolutions, Southern states with their own solutions. To KA boys who like to fight, and Southern girls who can drink all night!

You can have anything you want - if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, have anything you desire, accomplish anything you set out to accomplish - if you will hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.-Robert E Lee

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.-Theodore Roosevelt

Gator Hunting 09'

A few weeks ago a buddy of mine called me and asked if i wanted to go gator hunting. i have never done this kind of hunting and so i totally wanted to go. We met up at my friends house to pick up the air boat. Ive been on an air boat before and it was the nicest one i have ever seen. We drove out to Clewiston FL, to launch the boat...The time we went out was about 9 p.m. and we knew we wouldn't be back till at least 2a.m We saw a multitude of gators and finally got a shot on a 6 ft male.... we loaded him on board and made sure he was dead. My friend decided not to put the tag in the gators tail... When we returned to the docks fwc was waiting for us. They saw the gator didn't have the tag in its tail and my friend was arrested... this was the best hunting trip I've ever been on.
