Cooling off at Pond

The temperature was in the high 80's today as this young buck tried to cool off next to our pond.

Porcupine

Over the past week I've noticed several small branches broken on an apple tree near my deer stand. On this evening wildlife drive with Grandson Reed I found the culprit, a young porcupine was eating the green apples.
