Back 40 Ranch

The deer aint worried but the cat is a little figety

Plenty of critters getting a drink

My Grandaughter, her husband and son, my wife and myself cut our Christmas tree today.

I put in an escape ladder for the small critters in case they fall in. A mouse comes out to say hello at the end!

New ducks and a Racoon and deer at the mineral block

Deer, cats, squirrels and birds drinking and munching on some corn. Letting the dirty birds out of the coop! Ducks and chickens

Other critters trying to horn in on the deers munchies.

Its now the start of winter. Things will be getting tough and ill try to make things easier for the critters.

I dont know what kind of birds they are but they sure were happy to find a drink on this cold witer day.

I filled the pond in because i didnt get the time to fix it right for the winter. I replaced it with a tote full of water until spring when i can get back at it.

Just a few deer checking there grooming in the mirror

Our first snow cover in the making. A very short clip

This doe is either calling for her children or lookin for love

A few bucks sneaking by the camers but there shadow got there first

Ive got him steering good. When we get camp fire wood i let him drive and i walk beside. When his lil legs get long enough he will be good to go!

The deer hung out all night just relaxing until they were interupted by a hunter

The biggest buck ive seen so far this year. Im sure there are bigger ones in my area, i'd like to see them

the night before halloween is called devils night for a reason

A buck wonders up to the camera and gives us a perfect pose

The hunting presure is very high this year. I think the sky rocketing price of meat and everything else in the stores are mostly to blame. If things dont change the deer around here will vanish!

The squirrels want to take over the mineral block. A good size buck with points growing all over his head.

A couple wild turkey at the water hole

A couple deer drinking at the pond

A "what is it" sits and watches some deer for over an hour
