Thanksgiving at the farm

Well we did have thanksgiving at the farm and we actually did have a wiener roast this year. I had gone over the Sunday before thanksgiving and dug a small fire pit down by the barn pond. I also moved some of the cut wood down to it so we won't have to do it that day. The weather was great, temps in the low 60's, no wind or rain. We did some fishing, shot some trap and shot the pistol. Carmen caught the biggest fish out of the south pond. It was bass that weighted about 3.5 lbs. That's not Carmen holding the fish, that is Jay, Liz's boyfriend.









I hit the most clay pigeons, not that I did that great, just had more experience doing it.
I got my camera back from Moultrie the week before, it had got broken so I had to send it in to be fixed. They sent me a new camera with a new warranty. So when I went to the farm the Sunday before thanksgiving I put it back up. I downloaded the pictures from it, it had only been up for 3 days and their wasn't many pictures on it. Hopefully it isn't because of people being back there trying to hunt. When I was there on Sunday I did download pictures from the other camera, it had the most pictures it had ever had on it. It has a corn feeder by it and they had not been using it very much until this time. The ground under the feeder was bare of grass and corn, they had been using it so much. You can see in the picture all the leaves on the ground.







You can see in the picture below all the leaves are gone beneath the feeder.







There were several pictures with 4 coons under the feeder. You could see their foot prints trying to get up the legs of the feeder to get more corn.







Of course the coons weren't the only things eating the corn as you can see from this picture.














This is the nicest looking buck that I have seen on this camera.







I hope to have more pictures in a week, I didn't get to take any pictures so I am waiting for them to be sent to me. When I get them I will post them.
