Got back yesterday from "The Place", early antlerless season was Oct 14th to 17th.

I really don't agree with our DNR on the need for an early doe season, and unless the freezer is getting low, I don't usually shoot much of anything.........I use it to get in the mood.

Just something about sunrise, seeing and hearing the woods light up.

As luck would have it, did see several bucks, one was just checking his scrapes down along the river, where I mowed the weeds down.

Need a better camera, but there is a small fork buck in the center of the pic.

Did get some chores done, as well, winter coming on and such.

Cleaned and added fresh ceder chips in a couple of wood duck houses, had wood duck nests in each.

View of the La. box blind, from the river bank.

Also had red wing black birds swarming and flocking up, spooky, reminds me of Alfred Hitchcock's film "The Birds"

Was a good week, still too short, but had to get back to the cleaning MIL house project.

You have a great place there. Just out of curiosity, does anyone stop by when they are rafting down the river and want to use the "blind"? (snort chuckle).

LOL,
I was thinking about taking the seat part that I took out of the port-a-potty, putting it down on the bank, with a can ".50 cents", and the game cam set up, just to see if I get any takers.

I'm afraid that it would wash away in one of our floods, as that bottom turns into "river" a couple of times a year.
But yeah, I thought of that...............

Nice pics Hunter. I'd ask them red winged black birds what in the hell they did with all your leaves. You all tolerate that up there. Down here we don't tolerate them upstarts taking our leaves. That's why we have leaves year round. Or... it could be something to do with the climate...;)

Pic's tend to remind me of my old stomping grounds near Elkader Ia. Wis. and NE Iowa have alot in common. Enjoyed the pic's and would love to see more later.

Years ago I met a co-worker from California at a factory school in Chicago.

"What happened to all the trees?" he asked. "They're all dead."

I told him it was fall. The leaves fall off in the fall. That's sort of why they call it "fall".

"I thought they had some ecological disaster", he replied.

"You don't get out of California much do you?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah," he said. "We go to Baja all the time."

Now that right there is funny I don't care who you are.
