Bushwhack Loop #2 - 6 miles, entrance through Cosgrove Woods
Got a bit turned around but never really lost. Saw 3 does and one 6-point, a 4 foot black snake (those boogers are fast!), lots of frogs, a crane, an egret, 2 box turtle shells, a cow's skeletal remains, a few living cows, and 3 horses (one of them a neighing charging horse! quick, over the barbed wire! crap, i ripped my pants....and my leg open! I dont think he liked the pups in his own secluded field nearly 2 miles from the nearest road). Lots of singing birdlife. Had to huff it out over hardtop once I realized I was several miles from home. Suprisingly, I only picked 5 ticks off of me. I get that many walking around in the back yard. But I may have paid the ultimate price in poison and chiggers. Oh well...bring on the salt water in a couple weeks to heal me right up. Now to go pick the 50 ticks off the dogs...
UPDATE (an hour later): I may have exaggerated a little. There were only 41 ticks on them. Well, at least 41 that I found.

Mary's Creek Lake Number Four
2 hours of fishin' and not even a bite
but the pups and I had a blast!
and a resident crane kept us company
...been seeing a lot more deer activity as well. It had slowed down there for at least a couple months.
