That is some good digging for sure!! Do you ever worry hunting at night? I mean just a bit? Just wondering, Beale.

I coon hunted for most of my life so it dosent bother me to much, still have some wierd encounters tho. When I was young boy I would camp out at night in the woods without a tent if I lost a dog, I feel safer in the woods at night than I do in the middle of the day in some cities. Its getting warm tho and snakes a crawling around so I dont think I will be doing it much anymore untill it gets cool again. I have run up on hogs, and bobcats. Bobcats arent anything to be scared of as long as they can get away from you but hogs, They will try to kill you! They are beyond mean!

Nice night finds. I've slept on swamp ridges many nights(hunting and trapping). Safer than any city I know of.

Looks like some fun nights..
Here in a couple of mo i will be hunting mainly at night and very early in the day...Out here in the desert the sky is so clear that with just alittle bit of the moon showing it lights up the night, and with summer temps that can get up in the 120's, and never any shade thats the only options im gonna have...(and even at night the temps are high)

That's a lot of good finds.."E" and I hunt the beaches at 4AM...Sometimes nobody is around...sometimes there are a few drunks wondering around..reason being is that we like to get out to hunt before anybody else gets there..works good so far..we use head lights and can see real good...Congrats on some nice finds....Buster...
