..................................................Thought y'all might like ta see what a " SQUIRREL CENTRAL" might look like "way" down south. First pic is where ya start goin'in. Fire break that ya see is one I had cut years ago. I had a dip put in so it would hold water fer the animals. What ya see was taken after one month er so of no rain. Next week I will show tracks around it before we go in ta the "jungle" Second picture is where ya go in. The stand of oaks is about 1000 yards into brush. Kinna looks like the cambodian jungle dont it ? :o Dont be surprised ifn ya shake a deer er a hawg loose as we go in ;D More next week as we go in further ifn y'all want >:D....bob

Good looking stompin' grounds, Bob. Looks like there oughta be plenty of bow backings lurking around in there, too. :) Have you tried that beautyberry for arrowshafts?

Interesting, like goin splunkin without gettin your feet dirty (I'd rather be there gettin the feet muddy :)). This is gonna be a goodun....

....A little side trip. Ifn ya go east fer a 1/2 mile er so ya get ta what I call a bit of prarie. Here are a few shots of one of my favorite deer spots. Have taken lots of deer here through the years. First pic is what ya see when ya are huntin' and waitin' fer them ta show. Second is a different angle at what ya look at. And finally this is where I wait . A natural brush blind, Thx Mom Nature ;D You are lookin' at it but when in it ya will see the first two views ;) Brush blind is 15 yards from where deer pass through opening. Look at ground in front of brush blind. Whatta ya see ? ;D Merry X-Mas everybody.....bob

Man, Bob its ALL brush blind . :)... went back and looked again , is that a bow on the left side of the picture? Looks like a good funnel to steer the deer to your blind.

Looks like the makings for a citrus/squirel salad. Justin
-
Witch bow is that ? Looks a little like your yard sale yew. If it never gets cold , do yer critters always have fleas and ticks ?
Great pictures making me feel a bit warmer looking at them .
Ralph
-
......................... Good eyes Ralph. Yes its yew yard sale bow. Only one I've had fer past few months. Gave rest away except fer cable backed horn belly bow and thats WAY TO heavy fer "rats ." No tree rats down here dont have fleas and ticks at this time of year. Bow is heavy fer tree rats @65 lbs. but like I said its only one I have. Glad ya like pics. ;D.........bob
-
..................The "tree rat" in last photo was taken outta this tree. Thats what we call a flag pond down here in foreground. Gabrielle "gabby the gator" lives here most of the year except when it gets full of"slime" like it does at this time of year. My camp is about 100 yards behind the trees. Gabby visits reguarly when Iam huntin' an in camp. Wants a bit of pork fer her dinner. Always have the trimmin's fer her then she takes it an goes back ta pond. ;D See ifn I can get a picture of her next week when I go ta camp. Next post we will go back inta oak grove.This was an aside hope ya liked it............bob

Cool pics Bob. Reminds me a lot of the Low Country of SC. and Coastal GA. Sawtooth palmettos, cabbage palms and myrtle bushes. I'm enjoying your hunt! ;) Pat
-
.................................I had a few pics of "gabby the gator" in my folder. First couple shes "catchin' rays and zzzz-zzzz ! ;D My camp is bout 100 yards from where ya see her. When I get a hawg an I clean it in camp she comes up and wants ta eat some ! I always saves her some of the ham and intestines. BIG girl aint she ? :o She is a "sweetie." Has provided me with lots of laughs when she comes up behind my guests ifn I have them and bellows fer dinner. I has "guest birds" in the trees. ;D Last she is goin' back in water. Iam goin' ta camp next week and will see ifn I can get a closer pic of her. Look in middle of last photo ta see her enterin' water. Hope ya enjoy the asides from tree rats...............bob

I was up huntin' tree rats in Lakeland area with Eddie (mullet) and Charlie (Indian Charlie ) this past weekend. Had a good time . Here are a few pics of the "voods" Its different up in central florida than where I come from south florida. The understory is usually not that bad. The biggest thing is the oak trees are HUGE. Here a big one is say 30 er so ft up there 60 ft er more is common..........bob

Paul, Dilla's good. It's not tough,slow cooked in a pot of rice with garlic, onions,and black pepper. They carry the virus, but leprosy is not contagious. And if you cook most anything good , it won't hurt you.
-
For heck sake, we live amongst the most disgusting filthy creatures on the face of the plannet every day. You shake hands with them and you don't know where that hand has been. You exchange money with them when 60% of money has fecal material on it. Now your going to worry about eating something that you should have cooked well to begin with. ??? ::) ???

Actually most people are too clean these days, obsessed with antibacterial products, makes thier immune systems weak.
The active ingredients in antibacterial soap passes through sewage plants untreated and enters our waterways
where it continues to kill bacteria. Same with antibiotics and other prescription drugs. We're probably creating super bacteria in the process >:(
Sorry bob, didn't mean to hijack yer thread :)
-
It is true that armadillos are an alternate host for leprosy...but they carry the virus only in their eyelids...so don't hold them by the head!!!!...and they taste pretty good just cut up and fried like you would fish or chicken...like Bob said...how hungry are you??? ;D...........................Charlie
