Driving Miss Daisy

One of the trail cameras captured me driving my "Assistant for Deer Operations" around doing a facilities inspection.

Bruto with one of the young guns

Skylight

Two additions...

If you are going to pay good money to kill your trophy deer you might as well be comfortable. I think these blinds are going to really make for a good hunting experience.

Pictures from the trail cameras

I wonder what this group is watching.

This is a two year old with dammage to two points on his left side.

No name yet.

Feeding the gators

Andy went out with me this morning. One of the things we did was feed the alligators.

Can you say, "Fill up the stock tanks"?

We've received very nice rains. I hope the tanks are full.

Hello Dolly

Here is hurricane "Dolly" at 6:30 AM. I'm hoping we will receive some good rains out of this storm.

Black-bellied Whistling Ducks

These innocent looking guys can move in on your corn feeders and gobble up every kernel. I hear they are quite tasty. I'm not sure if they are legal to kill during duck season or not.

The boys come out at night

Another Fawn

This little fellow looks like he's ready to have some dinner.

Candidates for "deer chilli"...

This deer on the left has his second set of antlers forming. Last year he was a spike and I probably should have eleminated him then.

This deer with his first set of antlers will probably be taken out of the herd.

View one of this deer... looks like he will be a spike with his antlers going out and backwards.

View two...

This is probably a late fawn with his first set of antlers. He will probably remain a spike.

This looks like a two year old... great candidate for deer chilli.

Looking nice...

First fawn picture of the year

This set of twin fawns had their picture taken as they passed by this feeder.

No more Metate Creek bridge

Monday, 07-07-2008, they came and removed the old wooden bridge over the Metate Creek. The road at the creek is now closed to through traffic. It means for me that I have to detour around the back way. Word is that it will take four to six months to complete the new concrete bridge.

Feed Hogs at the trough

Here are three bucks all lined up at the trough. They are all buddies this time of the year and hang out together in groups. In the fall during the rut they get all territorial and mark out their claim by making scrapes and leaving their calling cards on the ground and the brush overhead.
