Another Gorgeous Weekend

I only made it out for one night but what perfect fall weather.  High of 70F, low of 40F, clear skies, no wind.

The "Hunter's Moon" was still out during the day.

Never a good sign when you get busted walking in to your stand.

The spiders have been busy.

I still had lots of activity.

This guy came in for a visit and chased a few does around.

The absolutely still wind worked in my favor.

Some Does

I could watch the main field too.

There were deer running around up there.

The trailcam later revealed these shots of them. 

This buck was aggressively chasing does.

The next morning also had quite a bit of doe activity.

But no bucks.

This wimpy looking mock scrape/licking branch does get some attention.

After the big rain from Helene, it's been dry again.

I walked and cleared a few trails.

Last week Joan was out for a Ranger ride - first one since femur surgery.

She was hanging on pretty tight.

Fox.

Turkeys.

Button buck.

Some young bucks.

And the usual crowd of does.

I was checking a camera and noticed a lot of buzzing.  I was standing almost on top of this swarm.  After I got them riled up, I stepped away and took this video. Bee Swarm

And the Asian Beetles (false lady bugs) are also swarming. It's hard to capture how many of them there are. Beetles Swarming
