60 Degrees in February

 It's been unseasonably warm lately. But nice for a walk.

We had a lot of rain overnight.  My knee is still a little creaky.  But it's good to be out.

With this little bit of warm weather, the clover is already growing.

The turnips are pretty thin but still attractive in mid-winter.

About 1/2 of the bulbs have been nibbled on.

I got out the 375 H&H and did a little shooting with the load I plan to use for the cape buffalo hunt.  Shooting off sticks at 66 yards with 300 grain Barnes TSX.

I had the gun sighted for a 270 grain Hornady load and I haven't re-zeroed yet.  I just shot a 6 shot group.  I will need to work on that zero.

But at about 2", it is definitely "moment of buffalo".  Much more practice to do.

I left the Kubota on the battery charger and it started right up.  For some reason, the bush-hog trailing wheel forks don't want to spin.  I kind of made a mess before I noticed.

I haven't seen any evidence of bucks shedding antlers yet but one of my neighbors already found a nice 10 point matched set.

It's prime time for shedding for the next month or so.

Lots of does and doe activity.

I always wonder what spooked them in these photos.

The coyotes are out in force.  I think that they are coming into breeding/denning season.

A few glimpses of fox and bobcat.

Neighborhood dogs.

It's Superbowl Sunday - not too excited without the Steelers (or Bengals).
