Post by: Mechslasher on August 01, 2011, 08:41:16 pm

here are some visitors to my apple orchard so far this year.  the buck's name is jr.  he's about 4-5 and sporting a very nice rack this year.  we are thinking this is the buck hillbilly missed last year. ::)

 A real good spot. Steve has to decide to carry the muzzle loader or the bow, too hard shooting one and jugglin' the other. ;D

Chris, that is a hot spot, pun intended. How did the food plots you and your Dad were working on last year crop out? Thought I would be back that way, but didn't win the bid. C'est la vie.

I figured he'd be bigger this year if I missed him last year. ;D I hope I get a rematch with him this year. Man, that's a really red-colored little yote!

opened up the salsa tonight and had to make myself stop eating it.  i don't know if that's a yote or a big red fox.

I believe that's a Yote with a short summer coat. A little too deep bodied for a red fox I think. Beautiful buck, I ope one of ya'll kill him.

Yeah, I gotta make some more of the green salsa this year, too-it's got a little different flavor than the red. That was my last jar of green, only got one more of the red. Gotta get to canning.

That's definitely a young yote, just a funky color.

guess it is a yote.  back when i ran a trap line around the farm, i caught a couple red foxes that were that size.  after i skinned them out i had to use my yote stretcher on them they were so big.

don't have any pigs on my farm.  would love to have a couple wonder through every now and then.  the armadilos are there but i haven't seen one yet.  several have been run over on the road that goes by the farm.
