A walk to the mail box...
« on: June 14, 2010, 09:47:00 PM »
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...

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.

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.
