Did you have your black eye peas on Saturday? For those unfamiliar with this New Year's day tradition, it its a southern, cultural belief that consuming some black eye peas will bring you good luck during the new year. Not for sure if this phenomenon has retroactive powers, but non-the-less, it may be wise to have you a bowl today at lunch so that you have one more hedge at ensuring a great 2011.

As you will notice, there are several more photos of great mule deer taken this past season, including Buddy Rainey's family photos from the Jobe Ranch. We also saved photos of our highest scoring mule deer of the season, which is Chris Austin's 194" buck taken with archery equipment. Chris also took a 178" mulie on the same hunt, with a bow, as well!

Our Play by Plays will slow down over the next few months, and will be brought to you on a more infrequent basis, and will contain a heavy dose of nilgai, aoudad, and other exotics, as well as some other miscellaneous photos, such as  a few fall deer photos we may have overlooked. 

Here's wishing you and yours' a most joyous and healthy 2011. 

Cheers, 

Your friends at WSI.
