Grouse

I found at least one grouse in the neighborhood. It's hard to find/see ruffed grouse in this area and even harder to get a photograph of one.

Turkeys

Over the last couple of weeks I've encountered this family of turkeys several times during my wildlife drives on our properties. The turkeys will now allow me to get much closer for photographs and sometimes they will approach me while I'm in the ATV.

I got within 30 feet of the turkeys for this photograph.

The turkeys walked across a field and in front of the ATV for this photograph.

Bear Activity

A couple of days ago I caught a glimpse of a bear on our cabin property. Today I pulled the memory cards from the game cameras in that area. It appears that at least 3 bears have been in this area for the last couple of weeks.

Sweet Potatoes

Doing some final cleanup of this year's garden and it's time to dig the sweet potatoes. I planted 12 hills of sweet potatoes and got just over three 5-gallon buckets of sweet potatoes.

Wildlife Food Plot

On my evening wildlife drive I checked on my new wildlife food plot. The deer have found it.

Turkey Poults

I found this hen turkey and poults while I was mowing along our cabin road.
