Happy New Year!

We had a nice Christmas at the McFerrin house in Houston and spent the week after at our ranch in south Texas! Every year the day after Christmas, we load up the kids & dogs, make the 4 ½ hour drive to our home away from home, and prepare to ring in the New Year hunting and catching up on much needed rest and relaxation! This year was a bit different because we allowed our kids to bring a friend along. We had three extra kids for the entire week –six kids total, and this gal was worn out when it was all said and done! All three friends of the kids wanted to hunt, and only one of the three had hunted in the past! Mike & I were excited about the opportunity to share the outdoors with the new-comers… Cody, Emily & Tanner.

MaKenna & Georgia-Kate’s friend, Emily, started off with a doe harvest on New Year’s Eve. She was extremely excited about her first hunting adventure & was so proud of her doe! Way to go girl! Our youngest followed up the next day & shot a buck we now call “The New Year’s Day Buck”-Mike and I are proud of her and truly believe she started the New Year off right!

After the girls harvested their deer, the boys started getting a little bit antsy! They couldn’t wait to have the opportunity to hunt, and as luck would have it both Cody and Tanner harvested a doe on the same day! Way to go boys…both families have meat in the fridge!

Finally, I want to congratulate both of my brothers on their monster bucks this year!
Way to go Tracy & Michael-your hunting sis is very proud!
