leaves are off the trees, just sit still & watch. they smart, they jump from tree ta tree ahead of ya, an if ya do get close, they hid on other side, grab a stick an throw it. rofl better yet pretend like your deer hunting, they'll almost jump in your lamp. have a good one. flag

I saw A LOT of signs of hogs being there but did not see any hogs haha. But there were a TON of rabbits. I got a good number. Also a lot of water foul and that season just started there too. Might have to go back tomorrow.

most of the sign ya see on public land is done at night cause of the day time time pteasure, have sat over edge of area's torn up hour after hour, day after day during archery. have seen plenty of hogs, most being pushed, or just moving threw just outa range. water foul season, hmm, confused2 thought that was just closing check rules again. U see any squirrels flag
