I went out this morning, didnt even see a deer, but I had about the best sit Ive had in a while. The fresh snow from last night covered the corn stubble and was in the trees. The creek behind me was froze with snow on top. It was beautiful. Had a Red-Tailed hawk sit in a tree in front of me about 15yds. Had so many doves I couldnt count them all flying around, diggin through the snow, perched in the trees all around me. Had a red headded woodpecker in my tree. He was only about 10ft. above me. He stayed around diggin out bugs for about 5-6min. Plus all the other little birds hoppin around. The bright red of the Cardinal stood out wonderfully.
Tonight went about the same as far as deer but had a Cardinal about 3 ft. from me. This time I was sittin over looking a winter wheat field and had woods behind me and a bigger froze over creek. Same situation bird wise and had a big fox squirrel hoppin in the tree tops around me. Didnt offer a shot but watchin them little buggers sures passes the time. They are funny to watch.
Man, the snow really made it easy to sit out there today. It was cold but with my insulated camos on and the utter lack of wind made it bearable. Despite not seein neither hide nor hair of a deer, I had to thank God for such a beautiful day.
Did anyone else get out to enjoy some sceanery today?
