Good Day in the woods

[pilgrim]

Got out for a little squireel hunting this afternoon. Managed to put one in the bag! I think the cloud cover today had something to do with it. All the colors seemed to be really muted, hard to pick out those critters. Heard a lot of turkeys up there. The best part was coming out on top of this drainage, only to run up on 2 javelina. They were busy rooting round & didn't want to budge, so walked past them about 6' away; like I wasn't there. This was at 6,000' in the snow! Now will that happen again at the end of Feb., with a tag in my pocket? HA,HA. All in all just a great day!

 

Happy Holidays to all,

I bet that was cool seeing pigs in the snow. We are going to take the kids somewhere one last time this year for squirrels or quail. I'll let them choose. How much snow is still up there?

DUG, I was just west of Prescott. Near Mt. Francis & the comm. towers. The south facing slopes are pretty much snow free, but the north facing slopes still have up to 4''. We are suppose to get some snow tommorrow & tommorrow nite; or so they say. BTW, I did come across some bear track & scat in a snowy area. Talked with G&F today, they say with mild weather the boars do come out to feed now & again. Hope you & the kids can get out...good luck!

Squirrel hunting is the best. I make it a point to go atleast once for the year.
