  3. What a feeling it must have been,sitting in that photo hide. Did you double check the door to the hide being locked securely? Posted 4 years ago
    1. Knowing how skittish they are, there is no need to be afraid. I encountered them quite a few times in a forest and they are always more afraid of you than the other way. There's one rule though - not to surprise them. Posted 4 years ago
  4. It's just so beautiful as you have captured it here, stepping in to the sun spot. Very special. Posted 4 years ago
