more summer pics

[WayneChristie]

again crappy cellphone pics. story on the rabbit, I was sitting in the dark, heard some noises about 15 feet away, when I turned on the light there was a coon ripping up a bag. decided to put a motions sensor light beside me the next night, a while after dark the light came on, there was a little splash, and I saw something long and white swimming in the river. thought it was a big weasel, so I tossed a couple rocks at it, but missed. it then turned around and swam for shore, so I went over and grabbed it. Turned out to be a rabbit that got scared by the light and decided to jump the wrong way. Funny thing, I let it go on shore figuring the coons would have a nice snack, then it turned up the next weekend under my trailer, and would even come running out if I called it.

41 inch snake. hit my bait and ended up hooked in the outside of the gillplate, that was a fun fight. not very heavy doubt it was more than 14 or 15 pounds

bugball, had some crazy hatches this weekend, couldnt turn on a light without getting almost bowled over, so thick in the air you could smell them!
