Dean showed up this morning after working his shift at the rescue and asked if I wanted to go hunting.
Hmmm....let's see......spend time with my oldest son??
YOU BET!!! So off we went!
Dean wanted me to shoot a bird or a squirrel. When he heard a squirrel sounding off he stopped the truck and told me to get ready. He looked up in the trees and found this looking at us!!
It's a Pine Martin, and Scott tells me that they are a very
private animal. He has been hunting and trapping for quite some time and said he has never seen one in the wild!
They are pretty cute, but I wouldn't want one around my chicken coop!
We rounded the corner and Dean saw a bird!
The sky was so blue and the colors at their peak!
The lighting was so saturated!
Looking for birds and squirrels!

I CAN'T WAIT TO COME!!!!!!
Oh, where do I begin!?! great photos!... perfect fall weather!... 1-on-1 time with Dean!... Buttons pointing squirrels!... love it, love it, love it!!!!!! And the photo of you and Buttons with your trophy squirrel is priceless. :-) As for pine martins... they're so cool. We have them around here, along with weasels, mink and fishers... all members of the weasel family, and all critters that you don't want around your chickens!
:) The days are counting down!! Bring warm clothes it's freezing up here!!
Do you see them (pine martins) a lot? Dean was determined to have me shoot something!!
