Went for a early morning walk to a old groundhog area and found some weird things going on.
It has been hot for 10 days and yesterday it went cooler. I could not believe the amount of wildlife I saw this morning. Rabbits were thick off the soybeans. You could not walk in the woods without hearing all the tree rats barking and running. I saw 3 mom coons and 4 for 5 babies each. Almost hit a deer on the road before dawn. Saw a skunk family at a trash can.
Finally got to the chuck area and did not see a single chuck but intead in the old g-hog den was a red fox family of 5 pups and mom. Came back to the truck along the creek and the little muskrats and ducks were in the water.
Right on my uncle creek were the tell tail beaver sign. No dam but downed and chew up trees. I have to call the game warden again before the trees are all gone in that area someone working hard again.
Over all it was a great experance as I grabbed over 3 quarts of blackberries in one area in about 30 minutes. I never fired a shot.
