In the woods: Antlers

You can find some pretty cool things while walking in the woods and along back roads. I am going to try to share more of these finds with  you, more often. 

First up, these awesome antlers! They were on the side of a hunting cabin at the very end of a dirt road.

  1. So cool! I'm still wondering why they're painted. Enquiring minds want to know.

  2. This time of year is the best for taking a walk in the woods- it's easier to see what's around.

  3. This is the best time of year to go for a walk in the woods! It's easier to see what's there without the leaves and new growth.

  4. I'm always looking for ideas for my antler sheds.

Welcome back friends

I convinced Dad to put the trail camera back out at the Sky Condo to see what deer are around and made it through the winter... and it was like seeing old friends. Five healthy looking deer! Last year's fawns look good as yearlings If you zoom in, you can see antlers...
