Tom, do you have a Webshots or Photobucket account? They are free.
That is Step One.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

He will never be self sufficient as long as he can find an enabler, Chuck.

That tree with the holly limb had two squirrels in it but being right under it I couldn't get a shot.  The pic is fuzzy but one squirrel is poking his head out by the knot halfway up and the other one is on that skinny limb leading to the left, frustration at its best!
 Maybe we can do it again next year!

What type was the biggest tree on the lot??
A bad day of hunting is still far better than a good day at work.

Believe its an oak, down by the swamp. It is really impressive in person. Dominates the surrounding trees.

Place looks sufficiently squirrely.  Wish I could have made this one. How about a roll call?  I recognize Tom, Adam, Ron, and Martin but not the other guys.

I am the guy in the last picture my name is chris. It was a great time. I had a ton of fun with all the guys. And saw 2 squirrels with adam but we couldn't get close enough for a shot. Thanks for posting the pictures Tom it was nice to show my wife.

Killy, actually my daughter and I did it together-she taught an old dog new tricks.Won't say I'm technology inclined but am trying.
 Chris it was a pleasure and hope to meet up at one of those shoots we were talking about. Take care of that youngun now-must have a very understanding wife-a keeper for sure.
 Rollcall: Ron, Martin,Chris,Mac, Adam, my nephew and host Chris and myself. Hope next year we have enough to cover the place thoroughly.
 Killy-you have a special invite to keep it in mind for leave taking.

Killy,
 If the economy stays like it is now we may have this place for awhile. Hopefully we will have another hunt next Jan. same time.
 My nephew's father-in-law is trying to develop the land but it is a slow process-hopefully.
 Will really be disappointed if they cut that tree down by the swamp-it is just fantastic!
