Frightfully Behind At Long Ridge Deer Camp

We managed to get to the NH Fish and Game Expo in Milford this spring, and as always enjoyed the sights, and comradery.

These walrus tusks are neat. I think seized as illegal?

Teaching the youngsters a skill that will stay with them for a life time.

This guide was friends with a guide we stayed with in Northern Maine years ago. A consummate pilot and wildlife expert.

Do I dare say, "Nice Rack'?

When I was ill, this wood sculpture cheered me up, every visit to the hospital. I love it.

Here come the young ones..

This Robin has built 11 nests on the game pole at camp to fool us. We get it. And welcome her babes.

Birds in flight at the census station always thrill me.

As do the deer

We did actually have a winter, although it was shorter than usual.

More census station eaters.

Mom still telling us the nest is not empty yet. 

Another winter day at camp. I do love days like this. 

We are looking at about 13 per square mile in this neck of the woods.

Chickens, in the spring, beware...

Another winter picture..

When deer, not under stress, gallop like this in the winter, they are NOT starving...

And then, up behind the farmstead, pictures of grays, and turks et al...

Our wild game dinners have no peer. 

The entire reason for deer camps, rests in these very pictures.

Not pretty, but effective.

A last picture of the last supper of 2022.

Happy to share this with you all. Comments and critiques always welcome!
