Smile What would you do if your wife kicked you out of the house in January?

Well sort of...she was hosting book club (wine drinking) and I had to get myself and at least three dogs (boys) out of the house. I left the lady dog (Cosmopolitan aka Carrie Bradshaw) who is almost 11 years young with the ladies.

I figured I would go somewhere a little warmer (+10° F) so a plan was hatched to check out the quail plantations of SOWEGA (Southwest Georgia) and some public lands in the wiregrass.

I found one of the nicest campgrounds: Welcome to Chehaw | Chehaw, Nature's Playground | Albany, Georgia and Camping Locations | Chehaw, Nature's Playground | Albany, Georgia, then we hunted some excellent habitat: Hunting Maps (Region 5) | Georgia DNR - Wildlife Resources Division and http://www.gohuntgeorgia.com/sites/d...20Sept2012.pdf



The rig.

The site.

The habitat.

I should have a video of the hunt later.

My wife didn't kick me out, but she might as well have.

She hosted a "31 party" last week. The only thing that I can imagine that would have been worse was having her girlfriends over to watch The Bachelor!

Alone, seriously? Three high energy bird dogs, I have to run them so I can get some rest. Thanks for your kind words.

Just as long as it is not anywhere near the Mouse House, I will be on the way.

As you well know I took the path of least resistance. I could have been a recluse in my "cave" or stayed in the garage and found something to do but I had not been camping since October and did not want to wait until March or so.

What is "31"?

looks like fun! I've been cordially uninvited from my own house a few times when the misses has a get together. Apparently I'm anti-social and don't play well with semi-drunk women in groups of 5 or more

Cliff Notes: It's a bunch of godawful pattern bags, totes, and other misc crap that women don't need...but have convinced themselves and their friends they do need it. 1 lady becomes a "31 Consultant" and peer pressures all her friends to buy this crap from her so her "business" will do well. That lady will try to do "31 Parties" about once a quarter.

I e'fing hate that crap!

They push 31 items you don't need, kind of like a Tupperware party. If I was married she wouldn't be near one............or me

Yeah. But once you get past the great rack and magnificent cleavage what do you have?

I'm serious. I can't get past the great rack and magnificent cleavage. What comes next?

When the party was over and I returned home, my wife was all excited because she'd gotten a $30 or $50 credit toward "31" merchandise. As much as I hated to burst her bubble, I "reminded" my wife that she had invested $100 in food for these women, spent 4 hours in the kitchen preparing all of the munchies, and given up an entire evening to play hostess. That little goody that she was about to buy for "only $40" was suddenly VERY expensive!
