My nemisis. Burrs. They seem to be everywhere this year. My legs have been rubbed raw. My clothes covered. One pair of pants may never be worn again.

A red-backed salamander. He found refuge under my backpack one morning.

How wet is it where I hunt? Wet enough for this muskrat to swim under my stand.

The day before I witnessed a fellow shooting at a rabbit as it ran in the ditch along the road. The "hunter" was standing no more than two feet from the ashphalt. I called the MNR. The COs came to investgate. It was interesting to watch the dog work. He was able to find spent shells, and the wads.

Being rewarded with his kong, after finding the first wad.

Something of an abstract picture. There was spring causing ripples on the surface of a puddle. The fall colours along with the blue sky made for an interesting subject.
