All I can say to that question Terry is, "Where do you wanna fish?".  I'm with Bernie, no way to say no to her, nope, just can't...

Real purdy day in the woods, my oldest decided he wanted to walk his legs off helping me look for hogs. Lots of good sign, and we heard either a deer or hog bust outta it's bed on the way in but no pork on the meatpole tonight. Can't think of a better way to spend a beautiful spring day though....

Hunted this morning next to a massive oak between the roost and the field - hoped the oak would allow me to draw as the bird passed by - pretty sure it would've worked if I could've sweet-talked a tom into cooperating.
No such luck, but I did manage to call in a fox - he circled my dekes a couple of times wondering what the heck they were.  Then had 2 deer feed past, just on the other side of the dekes.
Both times just too close to turn and get my camera out - I beat myself up for an hour for not keeping the camera handy - the fox sniffing the decoys would've been an awesome pic...  :knothead:  

Beautiful morning to be in the woods though (aren't they all?)

Does my heart good to see these pics. Terry, that li'l gal is the prettiest ladybug I ever saw! You and JC sure got your priorities straight!

Jason, if the camera is ready, nothing happens.  "[tunglaff]"

My son Luke and I went out Saturday morning looking for a wild turkey, but came home only with tired and sore feet.

We did stumble upon a couple male ruffed grouse that were having a dispute over territory and managed to get a few pics of one of them.  TK

Last weekend we were on a bear hunt in Northeast Oregon and found a couple of elk sheds. Nothing real big, but they're still fun to look at! Here's a pic of my son's Cody and Luke holding the sheds.  TK

Didn't get a spring bear tag so I'm hunting with the cameras this spring. Got a little bear footage on the vidio today and suprised these two. The fawn has bumps on his head, another long eared buck in the making.

I snaped this pic of a storm coming, then made tracks for the pickup. I beat it by a good margin and was treated to natures rock concert complete with light show. When your on the tops it makes you feel small.

I think it is important to have something out there to make us feel small. We get bloody arrogant, otherwise.

Great shots of your beautiful neck o' the woods, as usual, Robin!

Hiked into a secluded meadow this morning and hung up my trailcam for the summer. On the way in I saw 7 elk, all cow's except for this spike with exceptional antler growth for this early in the year.  Sorry for the fuzzy pic, he was a long shot away!

 

There was half a dozen nice bull rubs from last fall. This 6" diameter fir had been hammered all the way around.

 

There were quite afew Sandhill Cranes getting ready to nest in the swampy meadows. This one kept it's distance from me, but never took to the air!

 

From the elk sign it looked like the elk have been on the summer range for several weeks. That's not all that unusual as the cow's like to get up there before they drop their calves.

 

The area was thick with Tree Swallows getting ready to nest in their US Govt' supplied housing. These little guys eat a gazillion skeeters during the summer. In a month or two they'll be FAT!

 

I'll go back and check the camera in a couple weeks and hopefully have some new pics to show.

This is typical Roe Dear habitat

 

If you look carefully, there's a doe feeding here

 

This buck was starting to shed his winter coat when my buddy shot him

Starling, 28 yards, two witnesses, nutter, 46# River's Edge Longbow.

 

This fella showed up in our live trap down by the duck pond.  Not trad. bow related, but thought you might enjoy.
