    Wish I had a camera

    This morning I was spraying fence lines on the hill (before my sprayer crapped out ) and I saw something coming toward me up the road. I held my ground and it came up to about 5' of me and stopped, it was a pup gray fox. It didn't pay me no mind, I just kept spraying and it got in the shade, laid down and watched me for about 5 minutes. Pretty dang neat.

    This morning I also saw, 3 Turkey, 1 pig, 2 Deer and 1 Coyote..Sometimes this place is like a zoo. I sure enjoy living here and seeing all the wildlife..

    Mother Nature just ROCKS!!!

    I was woke up to a sound while in my RV in East Texas to find a litter of fox pups in a culvert. I guess their Momma was out hunting breakfast and I didn't dare disturb them. We got to watch them grow up for about 5 weeks on and off. Totally beautiful little creatures

    Stomp & Bob ..

    Karl & I always travel with a camera each. I have a small Canon, no larger than a pack of cigs, which fits conveniently into my pocket ..

    Some cell phones also have cameras - perhaps you own one & 'next time' use it!

    Quite envious of your sightings

    Dang it I had mine in my pocket. I usually don't carry it but I'm here today alone. Adele had to go into the office and on those days I always carry my phone. Just didn't think about it..

    Re: Wish I had a camera (Stompy)

    Just like fishin or anything else, a camera should always be around. Never know when a bobcat might need a drink, deer cruising , beaver just doing what a beaver does.

    Hard to pack a camera on my TREK though. Had a big bobcat run along side me one evening while out on a ride. That would have made one heck of a video.
    Speaking of which,,,time for a ride.
