Surprised to see this guy on the game camera, kinda cool I guess, as long as it doesn’t start eating my guinea hens!

Bobcat on the hunt

Inbound with his prey

Third one! We shot and blew up lots of things, might be why the deer were a little scarce later on. We shot pistols, skeet, and long range rifle shots, which only one person actually hit the target.

Check out the video of Patrick performing the annual pumpkin explosion:

We all got into position by 4pm, very exciting, the ladies were monitoring our texts from the warmth of the kitchen, busy making rum cider. My nephew got a few shots off but missed, Michael came very close to bagging one, and when I was driving the UTV to pickup the hunting parties I ended up running over a small deer, but even it got away. Evidently the ladies were having quite the laugh inside as they received the updates via text messages.

Setup two blinds and a tree stand. Have had several good chances for bucks and does but opted to wait for a larger buck.

This guy looks like a decent size, I’ve had several people tell me its around 300 pounds.  This is him going into the fields for his nightly feast on the corn crop.

Mr Bear

Emily captured these coyote yelps while she was over by the fire pit one evening.

We finally meet!

Beaver dam on mine run

Its about 2-3ft deep on the upstream side.  The beavers have dug into the side of the bank for their homes, there are two large holes on the opposite bank a short distance upstream.  Lots of duck activity in this deep area too.
