There were lots of critters about this morning

[ecampbell]

It seemed like every time I turned a corner I saw something. I stopped to watch a box turtle run across the road in front of me. He was moving those stubby little legs as fast as he could. Then there was the squirrel running ahead of us to the delight of my dogs. Then there were several deer sightings. Sometimes I can go a week without seeing them but in the last 2 weeks they seem to be everywhere. Then a ground hog. The search and rescue people were out with their dogs at Carranza. And this guy sunning in the middle of a road.

I saw over 20 deer yesterday crossing roads, they were all over the place. I saw a huge buck too, which I rarely ever see.

I was with Turtle Friday night at Sim Place on the red road and we saw a nice buck in the bog there. Accompanying it were multiple deer. They have been all over the last few weeks. Nice photo's Ed.

I was actually able to get within about 20 yards of the buck, I must have been upwind from him. Much to my suprise these were all good size, healthy deer.

Those a great photo's Ed! In the 26 years I have spent roaming the Pines I have yet to see a rattlesnake.

I have been seeing alot more deer over the past year in the area of the pines I spend most of my time in. we counted 98 deer one evening on a drive through pines in late May prior to fawn drop. I have seen many doe over the past few weeks with at least one fawn and a good number with twins. The past mild winter did all animals good.

I am in Wall for work often. I see deer all over the place! One of my coworkers saw a doe and a fawn in Sea Girt a couple of weeks ago.

Beautiful Rattler Ed. Great shots. Keep the dog away!

 

[geezerfinneran]

If memory serves, the rattlers like the sides of the road....

They are, of course, more than welcome to it !

Great pics, Ed. Thanx for sharing.

Now... could let us know exactly where they were taken.

Oh yea that one. Is it right where it crosses the other one ??

 

[manumuskin]

Oh Lord that Rattler is purty. How could anyone intentionally kill one of them is beyond me.I'd pop Bambi first.

Ed, I got your emails, for some reason I couldn't access the pics. Great shots of the TR, they for whatever reason are not easy to find this year, very poor year for birthing females in the NE.

The tire tracks in the first picture are mine.
Apparently, I just missed.

I thought that's where you were... judging by the size of the grains of sand and the amount of dead pine needles. Skip confirmed it! It's a shame Scott didn't nail that nasty thing.
