Those aren't Pheasants, they're Road Runners!

This is a photo of a tree estimated as at least 200 years old not being able to withstand a storm we had last Friday.

What a shame, a lot of character in that ancient warrior.

At the moment the light show from Aurora Australis is absolutely spectacular and the best viewing for years. Here is a photo from Casey Station Base at the Antartic.

That's cool, cudgee!



Ike, the real Road Runners are John and wife! Reminds me of a Johnny Cash song.

Yeah that fits ol' John! Since I am a little older than you, check out the Hank Snow version of this song. I can't knock the Johnny Cash version though, just as good imo.
Incidentally, I looked it up to see if there was an earlier version than the one by Hank Snow. This song was actually written by an Australian, and contained town names from Australia.

Interesting, Ike. Thanks for that bit of music history.


Maybe cudgee could sing it for us!

Y'all are gettin' me all fired up for rifle season showing these fine big bucks and does with antlers!
Apparently our bachelor group is still getting along with each other as the beginning of the rut is at least a month away. I've posted before, the rut peaks around the 3rd week of January and is still going at the end of February when the season is over. Maybe one of these ol' boys will make a mistake while I'm watching. Also ol' Wiley E. and his buddy need to show up in the clover patch!

4 bucks

another showed up, 5 bucks

Daylight, a mamma and a couple of spotted fawns another site

The Deer look healthy down there .
When does the Gun season start down in your neck of the woods?
And Ol Wiley E . Can you as landowners shoot them or do they have any kind of season for hunting them ?
Nice pics .

JP, Florida's deer season is a very long one. The state is divided into zones and in zone A (Everglades area) archery started on July 1, 2021. the season progresses north and then west to zone D where we live. Actually zone D is divided by I-10 into different zones, we are on the south side, DMU D1. Our archery started October 23. Rifle season starts on Thanksgiving Day, runs for 4 days then closes until December 11th and then runs through February 20 when Muzzle loading opens for another 7 days. There's an earlier M/L season in December 4 through the 10th that I forgot about.
Coyotes, wild hogs, rabbits, 'possums, skunks, nutria and beavers can be taken year round, there is a bag limit on the rabbits.
The state used to have a very liberal bag limit, 2 deer per day with 4 in possession. Put em in the freezer and continue on hunting. In archery season does are legal, then when gun season starts there are a very limited number of doe days allowed. We can only kill 5 deer per season now with only 2 being does. For some reason the Biologist in Florida don't think like the other states' Biologists where they try to balance the herd.
