All kinds of critters up here.

That bigger ridge up there is where I am heading

Outstanding photos. Thanks for taking us along, just seeing these pictures makes the wife and I want to go back out. Those are some beautiful woods you got there.

Thank you buddy. Great way to spend a couple hours.

This first bench is seeing all kinds of activity.....

This is where I have to make a sharp right....

MB you're making me misty for the North PA woods and snow. Grew up in Union county. Its chilly here 38-45 but no snow. Last snow was 1985.

I am going to be going down a really steep ravine to the bottom, and on the way down I heard deer on the far side. It was a doe and two yearlings and this was not the first time I had some type of optics on them.

I did manage to get the camera on them, they were at least 200 yds away. They are slightly above center. Heavy zoom makes a clear picture tough.

Count your blessings Wudstix, it's over rated!

I was seeing this guys sign a lot this season, not sure if he made it through or not. It is going to really start getting steep and wooly soon!

And another....

monkeyball · January 11, 2015, 11:39:00 PM

Break time, almost to the bottom.

monkeyball · January 11, 2015, 11:44:00 PM

Allright, down to the bottom and managed to keep my feet underneath me and the Whip in one piece. Thank you God!

Who likes a campfire? I do, even if it's a small one. It just gives you a good feeling inside.

Take the stuff in the bag + the twigs laying beside it, and you can get one lit real quick.

I knew you were going to ask. A pack of matches, some dryer lint, and an old bird nest.

The bag keeps it together and dry.

monkeyball · January 11, 2015, 11:48:00 PM

So brush the snow away, put a couple dry leaves down, now some dryer lint, now the bird nest and then more lint.

monkeyball · January 11, 2015, 11:49:00 PM

Place your dry twigs on top, light the lint on the bottom,and.....

There she goes.....

monkeyball · January 11, 2015, 11:51:00 PM

Might as well take in some nourishment.

So let me tell you about my flask, and it has well water in it by the way. I bought this at a Camping store a few years ago. Made by SIGG and of Stainless Steel. Nice slim design and an alternative to plastic. I love it!

One day I was in a hurry so I filled the flask and put it in the freezer......and forgot! My flask lost it's nice sleek shape..

monkeyball · January 11, 2015, 11:56:00 PM

Oh well....
