Black Bear

So our weather has really been terrible in south Alabama lately and so has our hunting. Now let me say that we have seen some deer and I have let a 9 point walk and the same 8 point walk twice to the dismay of my 8 year old. I suppose I should have let him shoot the 8 point, but it was 4:15 in the afternoon and I thought a much bigger deer was going to grace us with his presence, however; he must have had something else on his mind. So I have endured 4 days of... "Why didn't you let me shoot that deer?", and "Momma, I can't believe you didn't let me shoot it! Will you let me shoot it next time?", every 30 minutes.
We have captured a few nice bucks on our game cameras though.

A friend of mine, Karen Baxter, sent me some pictures of a black bear that they have captured on their game camera. Black bears in south Alabama are not that common to see. They are also illegal to kill and are protected in our area. They caught the bear in a patch aptly named "The Bear Patch".

 

We only have a few more days left of our deer season, so hopefully we will be able to get a few more before the season is out.

HAPPY HUNTING!!!!

Say Cheese!

We decided to go and check game cameras this afternoon. We had several set out in a couple of different places. The most exciting thing is we captured the big fella from our joint bow hunting trip at the Tree house. He was in a different field though. We also captured a couple of other bucks as well!!!!

We have several game cameras set out and they are made by several different brands. By far the best camera is the one we captured these images with. This camera belongs to our son, Owen. It has worked fantastically from the begining and captures great pictures day or night. We try to go and set out and check cameras together so that everyone can be involved.
