Well, the deer season officially ended here yesterday and I didn't get out. 30 Inches of snow this time last week and my backs been aching a bit. Today I decided to go to my buddy's property and visit a couple of my favorite spots. I've known him for over 55 years and have sole permission to hunt his property. Not very big in terms of acres but it produces deer every year.
The point of this post is to remind us all to look for something new each time we enter the woods.
I have 2 favorite spots. One down by the north branch of the Patapsco River. And the other on the edge of some Christmas trees he planted about 30 years ago.
After a week of warmer weather the snow is still 12 - 18 inches depending on where you walk. I sure could have used some snow shoes. Anyway, I took my time to take in the sights. My camera is not the best but it did give me some great memories of today.
I began by walking down towards my river stand. Along the way I came across some rabbit fur. Looks like a hawk probably got this bunny.
Once up in the stand I can look down on the bald trees, snow covered ground, and frozen edges of the river.
Rail Road bridge looking off to the east.
Once out of the stand I walked down to the river and took this shot.
Next to the river I saw some tracks from my feathered friends.
Across the river there's a rock formation where a fox lives. I guess he has to make a decision each time he comes to the tree.
This little fidget didn't make it. Maybe that fox is eating well.
