Not game or gun, but still connected to the hunt: storms around the property on the eve of dove opening:

George, glad to hear it wasn't worse. Floods can be bad.

Canvasback, my 80 year old hunting lodge at Delta Marsh ,got swept away when flooding combined with 24 hours of 60-80 mph winds from the north west across a fetch of about 80 miles created 8 foot waves (eye witness 3 miles inland) rolling across the marsh. Nothing like it had ever been seen before as the flooding was the direct result of government interference. ie We will divert the flood waters from this area to save these people and building and flood these others we don't care so much about.

Ended up as a big pile of wreckage 200 yards away from the foundations. We were able to salvage almost nothing.

Even with money, it was irreplaceable. Practically my favourite place in the world.

Some, about 20% of the cost to rebuild the place.

I've moved on. Spilt milk and all that. It's just your pics and description reminded me.

So sorry to hear about that, James. On another note, I wonder how King will spin it?

Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Moore, and also for the link. The property is not all that far from Oklahoma, so it is not unreasonable to venture that we have viewed some of the same weather systems.

Building the first structure on the property (that the locals have christened the "world's largest deer blind") has afforded me numerous opportunities over the last ten months to capture the various moods and movements of the western sky. Here are a few more recent shots:

LOL, Mike. I looked at the pics before I read your note. Was going to say "Nice blind" but you covered that.
