Hunting Season Is Finally Here!

Now that most of our Fall field work is complete, we can take some time off to hunt.  Got to sit last weekend with my bow and saw 8 bucks and three does in two sits.  All of them got within 20 yards or less while I sat in a ground blind, or just on a stool tucked into some mesquite trees.  One 9-point walked up to15 feet before daylight while I was sitting in the bushes - he never saw me!  None of the bucks were what I was looking for, although two were very tempting.  After watching deer for 45 minutes I decided to take a large doe, but by then she had gotten to where I couldn't get a shot.  Maybe next time!

Here are a few more trail camera pictures from the ranch we hunt near Abilene, Texas from the past five weeks.

A Few Photos From The Field!

Been on the road for two weeks and have gotten a few wildlife photos in Florida and Georgia while working or during our travels.  And then the rains came!

Young Black Bear in the Ocala National Forest!

Rutting Buck in Central Florida a few miles from Disney!

Canada Geese in South Central Georgia leaving the peanut fields!

Rattle Snake in North Florida!

We found this spot while electrofishing near Welatka, Florida on the St. Johns river! This is not the typical electrofisihng scene, there were thousands of catfish stacked up in this spot. It didn't take long for us to collect our 15.
