Got this off a trail camera this morning after a morning hunt.
Seen 5 does and a spike making a rub.



Not the best but the only Blue Heron I have.

Getting that close to a heron for a pic is pretty much impossible, and some times they move so slow they may not have triggered the camera. Good pic. Looks like a blind just off the left side???

There's a reason they sell em as confidence "decoys."

That thing use to be a wooden home made (gun) blind (not enough room for bow) that has been there since before Gary (land owner) bought the place around 10 years ago.
I was sitting in my stand the other day thinking it could probably be refurbished easily.

"Patting self on back." Dang, I got a good eye.:) I saw a flock of turkey, an owl, a one horned 3 pointer, (other side broke off not shed:( ), a big fox squirrel that met my 410 today, and ground 15 pounds of deer burger. (and I changed the oil in my truck.) :D Good day...

I tried some pics of the owl. We'll see how they came out...

OK eagle eye did you notice me sitting in that tree off to the right in the back round.


I was thinking about changing the oil in the car today myself.
The thought didn't last long. LOL

Nope didn't see that, must have good camo... I just wonder how you missed that giant buck right under you???:p

Yeah, but now I don't have to do it tomorrow... Better get that done FL... Just tell me where your spot is, and I'll let you know if I see a big one...:D

If its that trophy spike I seen this morning you can take him.

Checked a couple cams today and the Blue Heron returned for a few more shots.
