Bobcat

After processing this year's deer harvest we hung the carcass and scraps in the woods for birds and wildlife to feed on during the winter. Along with the snow birds, hawks, raccoons, flying squirrels and coyotes, we got a visit from this bobcat.

Bald Eagle

This winter's cold weather has caused a lot of creeks to freeze over. I found this bald eagle perched in a tree near some open water in Wysox Creek.

Rabbit Hunting

The late season small game hunting opened after Christmas and it was a good time to take grandson Reed rabbit hunting. Reed is 9 years old and has a Mentored Youth Permit which allows him to hunt while accompanied by a mentor.

With a light coating of snow on the ground it was easy to find rabbits during the late afternoon. Reed and his dad, with one of the four rabbits he shot with a .22 rifle.
Reed is a good shot with the .22 and hit all of the rabbits in the head or neck. Retrieving a rabbit from the thick brush.
