The last of the snow melts away as we head into April ... The warm winter kept the deer in good shape .... a doe and fawn stayed on my property pretty well all winter this year ...

As we do some spring scouting from farm to farm , I see a doe stoped for a look under one of the many new climber trees we carved last season ...

Randy and I got a quick look at this "sprinting jake" in the back field of one of our favorite spots ...

As the evening wound down , I drove about 10 mins away from home , along a road that I haven't been on for awhile , then I spotted some turkeys , way out in a field ... I asked around , found the right landowner ... asked for permission to take pictures .
The woman that owns the farm thanked me for asking , and mentioned she had had problems with tresspassers in the past , shooting turkeys right up behind her barn

As I walked back to the farm , I cut through the back bush and got one quick frame of a racoon suning up in a tree ...

With the sun on a downward arc , I took a quick shot of the old barn on the property as I walked back to the house ...
![Image](http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/RJpentax/V.jpg)
I stopped and thanked her again for the opportunity to take pictures ...We talked for awhile , and she offerd me an opportunity to return for pictures and a future bow hunt ..... I'm looking forward to that , as it is a beautifull property !
Good luck to all that are out scouting in Ontario , and Best Wishes to others , who's spring turkey season has already started !
