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...




and September as well..



Almost in the edge of the yard I saw this fast feller...

Almost forgot this fella. He don`t know how lucky he is....

Awesome pics as usual RC.

Thanks for the tour,wish I had them critters on the way to my mailbox

Makes quite an impression huh?

Thanks for sharing!

God bless,Mudd

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.

Plus the camera stays in the pocket of my Dawgware Quiver all the time.RC

Very cool RC.

I think good things happen to Hill shooters .. lol.
RC ... What a beautirful place you live in . Here in Australia,  you are what we call , most affectionately , ... a lucky b#^%&*@rd ...

ps ... that rabbit should go and buy a lottery ticket !

Great pictures as always RC

From the pond last spring



And the walk to the mailbox in Febuary....

RC, was the snake a coach whip, indigo, or what?  Sure looks glossy...

very cool...all i see on my way to the mailbox it the neighbor mutts, but I'm usually pulling a radio flyer with two chatty little girls!  

wonder if thats why i don't see more critters.....

thanks for sharing

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.

The snake is a Black Racer. We got Gophers a plenty.RC

Robert, that Cheeta and you are bonding quiet well I see.
