Derrie and Canon face off with a Bear!

While picking blackberries last weekend Derrie and Canon ran into a black bear on the side of the driveway. So Polecat decides to put out the critter cam to get a few photo’s of the bear, he ends up getting some great shots of not just the bear! These photo’s should get you guys excited about the upcoming hunting season!

This is Derrie’s bear, he is off limits!
Derrie’s Bear is a regular visitor up at camp.
Fawn’s like blackberries too!
This little one better pack on some pounds, winter is coming!
All kinds of critters are after Derrie’s blackberries!
Woohoo! There are bucks in them der woods! Looks like this guy will be a small 4 pointer. Keep eating buddy!
Polecat said this guy is off limits this coming fall! 🙂

This is a good sign for the up coming season!

Photo’s, stats, and other stuff.

I have finally uploaded some photo’s from the 2011 season to Flickr for your viewing pleasure. I know leaving our site to view them is not the best method but it’s what we got for now. I’m lazy. You can view them here:2011 Deer Season Photo’s. I am also putting together the 2011 DVD so if you guys have anything interesting from last season send it on over to me. Robba how are the banjo lessons going? You are responsible for the intro music this year. I’ll be in touch to schedule a short recording session.
Here is a link to our 2011 annual report, it’s got some basic stats. F-Troop’s 2011 Blogging Stats There is also a place on our site where you can enter your e-mail address and you will receive notifications of new post, it’s below all the links in the sidebar. Remember this site uses gravatar’s, so if you want a small photo of your own choosing next to your name when you post/comment all you have to do is head over to Get A Gravatar and sign up. It’s free and easy! Thats all I have for now.

Spring Hike 2011 A Success!

Well another hike is in the record books. The weather was great, the beer was cold, and our feet were sore. Seven rangers braved the expedition this year and earned badges I didn’t even know existed. We feasted on “tube steaks” at the ancient fire ring! Explored the cave and crawled all over Stay Away in search of new ways to attack it in the fall. Then we enjoyed beers in the sun while gazing upon Buck Mountain in the distance. We covered all that and still made it out before having to get the headlamps out!
As always, pictures coming soon…..! 🙂
