Title: A walk to the mail box...
Post by: RC on June 14, 2010, 09:47:00 PM
This evening after planting lilies for my wife I grabbed the Hill bow and some arrows and headed to the mailbox. Its a purty good walk ithe limbs and such to shoot at. I made a detour by the pond to get a pic of a "Gill" goldmine...

 Got almost back on the driveway and heard something coming. I`m thinking Dilla and the longbow starts jumping then I spot `m. A big old gopher out gopher`n around...

Got a pic of him and stepped back on the drive. Looked down and there was some hope for next spring...

Ron , Nearly every time I walk down there I see Something.It was starting to cool of this evening and I figured I`d see some critters. That was the second rabbit. The other would`nt stick around. He probably had flashbacks from Febuary and small game season.

 I actually have a pic of a Turkey I took once out of the kitchen window and through the years I have probably killed 15 deer within a bowshot of the house with stickbows. Gods Country.RC.

That's the first gopher that I've seen in a long while.  There used to be a bunch of them down at my grandparents in south Alabama, but I haven't run across one in years.  Enjoyed the pics RC.

We have a lot of rabbits in the yard this spring, Joe and I have been setting up habitat for them on the perimeter of the yard, looks like it's working.

Keeping the camera in the pocket of your quiver is something that should get in the habit of doing....then if I could ever get computer smart I could show some pics also! Who knew!!!!!
