I've been knocking things off my Texas To-Do left and right! Not that feeding a baby buffalo was on the list... but when the opportunity presented itself... how could I pass it up!? (The real reason for the trip was to go hunting...)One of my fun colleagues has 100 acres in Luling, TX complete with a baby buffalo, longhorns, and donkeys! She invited me to drive out there with her to go hunting one Wednesday night, but first we had to get the feeding out of the way. That buffalo was STRONG... and the longhorn's horns were BIG... I was a little terrified when they started edging each other out to get to the pellets we were giving them. Thankfully, I had a trailer to hide in when I got too spooked. Bella was totally cute, and Delane is definitely her mom. She wanted to suck on our hands after her bottle feeding was done, but spit mine out in favor of Delane's. So funny.
After feeding time was over, Delane and I set out to kill some hogs. Unfortunately, things got too dark too quickly and although we spotted some, it was too dark to get a good aim. So does this count for marking "hunting" off my list of things to do before I die? I think it does, 'cause not everytime you go out are you successful... but I'd still like to go out agian. Apparently, turkey season is right around the corner... and Delane has invited me back to her land. Clap clap!
