  • When I started my hike this morning the sun was shining and it was warm, within an hour the temperature had dropped to near freezing and it was raining hard. I came across my old friend deep in the woods, he was tending a doe and as long as she was bedded down he was willing to let me get a little closer than normal. This is the third year I've taken this guy's picture, its good to see he's still going strong.

  • I have no problem with hunting, but poaching is another story... This poor buck was shot out of season in an area where hunting is not permitted. The angle and location of the arrow suggests that the poacher is poorly skilled.
