In the Northeast, school would be delayed for something like the precipitation outside. My presence surprised him as he tiptoed with half-awake eyes through the kitchen and his presence made me aware school was canceled and he was staying home. My morning routine was interrupted by my friend’s son who came downstairs thinking I was his mother. As I stared out the window at the iced over branches in the backyard, I questioned if I had enough cold-weather clothing.
On that dreadful Tuesday morning, I woke up early like I usually do to make my coffee and prep for the day. The reality was, North Carolina where I flew in from was actually warmer. From the moment I landed to the time I left, I was told I brought the cold weather. I flew in the day before and was underwhelmed by the gray skies and light precipitation.
#My days are cold without you full#
Our first full day of hunting was slated for January 31. I was blown away at the response to the cold and how it had an effect on the state. While I am used to the cold (having grown up in New England and having spent the past 2 years living in Utah), I can say the same is not true of Texans. As I found out, there is no such thing as a guarantee in hunting (we all know the saying that if it were a guarantee it would be called killing) and that is especially true of the weather. Cheap airfare, no guide fees, and weather that was supposed to be temperate. After seeing the trail cam footage of what my friend’s friend had on his property, I booked the flight and assumed the trip was going to be a lock. A friend from high school relocated to Texas over 2 decades ago and he sold me on the idea of flying down, utilizing his friend’s ranch, seeing what San Antonio had to offer and accomplishing the entire trip in just a few days.
The trip was on my bucket list for a while and when the opportunity presented itself to cross it off in January/February 2023, I couldn’t resist. I received an invitation to hunt axis deer and aoudad sheep in Texas at the end of last year.
