Nice mount and Buck there monk!! John

I say beautiful mount Monk! Good luck out there Philip - hope old Big Boy shows up for you. OH

Something we rarely see here in FLA.....foliage.....but it's beautiful this year, probably because of the cold week, last week!!

Just because you're a pal.

Went bird hunting this past Wednesday, had a great time hunting with two other gunners (my boss and one of my customers). I used my 16 Ga O/U, my two companions used 12 Ga shotguns. My customer has drawn a bead in the first picture. Look close at the second picture, you can see the quail at the moment of impact, that’s my boss doing the gunning. I have 22 birds in the refrigerator. OH

Some good dog work, pointing and honoring. OH
Ps. I like the sunbeam streams behind the bird dog in the top picture.

Walnut and blue steel in a hunters version of stack arms. OH

Man o man! This brings back some really good memories.

Love it! Thanks for sharing Bruce!!!

Mushrooms, fungus, huge dragonfly

There's a fungus among us! Nice pictures Scott. OH

Good pictures, Fellers! I see the feathers a flyin' and I see the dragon fly that must be too cold to fly. Either that or he's stuck in some of that pine tar drippin' off that tree.

Wisconsin sunrise over a frozen pond, and a backpack shelter in the southern unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest Southern Unit

That's a cool picture mike. I like old buildings almost as much as knives.

I really liked those quail hunting photos, OH. Those piney woods look a lot like they used to look in my area, back when the woods were burned off regularly.

Cool fungus, Scott. We have actually had winter conditions here for a couple of weeks now, and pretty much any leaves that are going to turn color have done that and fallen by now.

Mike - that photo of the backpack shelter is well composed! Make me shiver just looking at it.

Granted this is not very far outdoors but I enjoy seeing the fresh snow in this corner of the backyard.

Love the snow pics fellas!!! Keep 'em coming....

Went back to the same spot today.....made a smalllllllllllll wood pile. Found some super dense fatwood.

Scott, those Maple leaves are really beautiful! Maybe we'll get to send a snow picture in the morning but for now all I have is a picture of Bambi. About 8am he was walking through some planted pines from east to west, he has now spent the day hanging in the old oak tree behind the shop. .243 about 130 yards. The rut is in full swing!

Well done Philip.

I think that dog likes deer hunting as much as you do.

Thanks for the kind words! The dog, Flossie, is gun shy. She hates thunder and will usually hide when someone is shooting. She has a terrible time on the 4th of July and New Years eve with fireworks, even at a distance. But during hunting season, when she hears the rifle go off, she changes her attitude, ready to go see what she can find. She has become a well mannered house dog in the last year and Miss Joy says when the rifle goes off she ready to go. Yesterday morning, I called from the stand and asked Joy to let her loose after I shot the deer. I watched her come running down the road to the stand and immediately "wind" the deer and run straight to the spot where he was down. Good practice, for sometimes they don't fall on their nose and she can find one a lot easier than this old man! She guards the deer when it is brought back to the house. She would rather stay outside when one is hanging from the old oak tree and keep an eye on it.
